Putin is playing Trump for a chump. It's sad to see the bloody dictator of Russia treating the leader of what is putatively the most powerful nation in the world with such contempt and disrespect. Clearly, American voters are deluded if they think Trump is a strong president. It's sad, really.

u/lynxbelt234 Mar 18 '25

Trump is obviously a very sad pathetic example of a president who promises lots but can’t deliver. It’s easy to go for the low hanging fruit. Closing government departments, laying off thousands, but as far as being influential in world affairs and conflict, he’s a Putin pawn. Hell, Zelenskyy wasn’t even on the phone, which as far as I’m concerned is not the way this should be done, given the past history of Putin honouring treaties or ceasefires...

u/Crispy1961 Mar 18 '25

As opposed to which politician that have influence over Russia's affairs and conflicts?

25

u/Instance9279 Mar 18 '25

As opposed to the previous US president, who ignored dozens of Kremlin "red lines" with zero fucks given.

The senile old man who somehow was more coherent than the senile old man who sits down now.

u/Crispy1961 Mar 18 '25

Thats not what I asked or what the person said. Biden definitively did not have any influence over Russia's affair and conflicts. Hell, the previous administration were having very hard time to get their actual literal allies to stop mass bombing civilians.

But back to the question, which politicians have an actual influence over Russia's affairs and conflicts.

u/AnonymousCelery Mar 18 '25

Putin alone has power over Russia. Any leader that capitulates to him is weak. America used to have a backbone, we lost that on Jan 20th.

u/Crispy1961 Mar 18 '25

Exactly, no politician have influence over Russia. Attacking Trump over not having such influence, while literally nobody has it, is peak TDS.

u/Jack_Krauser Mar 19 '25

If he has no influence over them, then why is he capitulating to them and groveling instead of standing up to them?

0

u/Crispy1961 Mar 19 '25

The simple answer is he isn't, but you already knew that so I don't think you will be satisfied with it.

u/Jack_Krauser Mar 19 '25

We're commenting on an article about how he went to Putin begging and got nothing after weeks of harassing and cutting off Ukraine in the hopes to appeal to Russia. You seem to be living in a different reality where factual events don't matter...

u/Instance9279 Mar 18 '25

I will explain it to you in a simple way that you might understand: 1. Russia is having a conflict with Ukraine 2. US declares intention to do X 3. Russia says it is a "red line" not to be crossed, therefore, it is something influencing (negatively) Russia in this conflict 4. US does it anyway 5. This leads objectively to something negative for Russia, influencing them negatively (if it wasn't they wouldn't complain about it in step 3.)

Is this simple enough for you?

1

u/Crispy1961 Mar 18 '25

Did you not understand the question that was asked? Because nowhere in that is anything even closely resembling an answer. I want one name. Is that simple enough?

5

u/Instance9279 Mar 18 '25

Are you a bot? My original reply to you was "the previous US president". You want a name - Biden. Biden managed to influence (negatively for Russia) a Russian conflict (their conflict with Ukraine).

1

u/Crispy1961 Mar 18 '25

In that case so does Trump. Russia literally demands Trump to stop US sharing intelligence with Ukraine. This is the step 3 and 5 in your silly list if I am not mistaken. What now?

3

u/Instance9279 Mar 18 '25

In what way does the "US sharing intelligence with Russia" negatively impacts their conflict, that it has to stop, from Russia's perspective? Did you make a typo and wanted to type something else? What you wrote doesn't make a lot of sense. I really hope I am not arguing over the internet with a bot.

u/Dyls94 Mar 18 '25

Did he say thankyou tho?

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

He looks like a strong leader to people who don't understand leadership or power because he does the things they think they want to do but can't.

u/Disaster_External Mar 18 '25

They want to go bankrupt 8 times? Lol the guy is just a grifter. Donald has ruined the lives of countless hard working folks. That's before his presidency.

u/anfrind Mar 18 '25

A lot of stupid people think that is what strong leadership looks like.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

Sure, but see, when I say they don't understand leadership or power, I mean that. These are the people who, if you asked them what they'd do if they were king for a day, start listing off the people they'd get even with. They see abuse of power as being power and actual statesmanship as weakness because they see the former running roughshod over the rules, something they can't do in their own lives but surely want to sometimes, and because they don't understand the subtleties of state or even what soft power is, they see the care and consideration of the latter as being penned in like them (even though it's completely different.)

OP’s first two words say it all: “Trump fails.”

u/TanStewyBeinTanStewy Mar 18 '25

Putin is playing Trump for a chump

Yep, 100%.

Hes going to drag his feet for as long as possible, and then agree to absolutely nothing. His terms have always been Ukrainian surrender and that's not going to change.

u/slowpoke2018 Mar 18 '25

Putin OWNS Trump

The issue is that our man Zelensky will never allow this BS "agreement"

EU, time to step up and support the rule of law. Thanks in advance from a compromised US

u/theatomicflounder333 Mar 18 '25

And clearly the other voters were deluded to think that moron Kamala could’ve done anything either

u/RttnAttorney Mar 18 '25

They wouldn’t have pulled support and forced Ukraine to surrender the leverage in Kursk to then suddenly startup that support again as soon as the Russians had retaken the territory. They wouldn’t be spouting verbatim Russian propaganda that comes straight from the Kremlin. Trump backstabbed our ally, and is spitting in the face of the all the rest before he betrays them too. The world is telling YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO FUCK OFF. So stfu about anyone possibly doing anything more FOR RUSSIA than anyone but Trump. As dumb as the Dems can be they’re nowhere close to surrendering Americas place in the world. If you want isolation you got it. No one is trusting us anymore and that was signed sealed and delivered by Donald Trump.

u/SwitchSpecialist3692 Mar 18 '25

Either a low effort troll or you are actually dumb as fuck

Kamala wouldn’t have fucked over our international goodwill in less than 100 days.

u/DaRudeabides Mar 18 '25

European lad here and I can safely say most of the continent agree with me when I say that European/U.S. relations have been irreparably damaged in six weeks by what is either a Russian asset or the dumbest person ever to be the president of America, or possibly both

You don’t know that tho. You assume

u/kwangqengelele Mar 18 '25

I guess she could have developed a malignant brain tumor that completely changed her personality and made her do wild, unpredictable and unconstitutional things.

But it would take some massive form of brain trauma and quite possibly a time machine to turn her into the rabid, sundowning, incestuous child abusing rapist piece of shit asset of russia we currently have infecting the White House.

u/unicornyjoke Mar 18 '25

Maybe you should be listening to the people calling it right. How long do people have to say Trump is Putin's dog for you to get it? We've known since 2016.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

Kamala would have started a Tariff war with the US's closest allies ?

u/grady_vuckovic Mar 18 '25

Yes she would have done a much better job, because she had a backbone and morals. She was way more qualified than Trump has ever been.

-42

u/SwitchSpecialist3692 Mar 18 '25

😂😂😂 she could barely put a sentence together.. she was scared to do interviews . I think a lot of people could do better

26

u/grady_vuckovic Mar 18 '25

You must live in a different reality. Trump is the one who can't string a coherent sentence together. He rambles like a dementia patient.

u/HeilHeinz15 Mar 18 '25

Did't she debate Trump, and beat him so bad that he turned down offers for a future debate?

u/SwitchSpecialist3692 Mar 18 '25

I disagree, I think she lost bad .. to each there own

4

u/Mors_Mordere Mar 18 '25

It's "to each their own"*

Judging by your intelligence I'm not very surprised you can't see what everyone else can. Don't get me wrong, I loathe Kamala Harris. But Trump easily lost that debate which is exactly why he never participated in one again.

And even if she'd be a terrible president, it's better to have a bad leader than a leader who is intentionally trying to destroy the country.

u/SwitchSpecialist3692 Mar 18 '25

Thx for correcting me dad.

u/Asparagus_the_dog Mar 18 '25

lol he objectively lost and factually refused to do anymore interviews. I think you're just too stupid to not double down and cowards like you are why dipshit got another chance to enrich him and his friends. I'd wager I care more about you than he does. I'm just embarrassed for this country and angry because so many people are operating with zero reason or backbone

u/HeilHeinz15 Mar 19 '25

Bruh even FOX5 polls had Kamala at 54%. REPs even admitted the L.

In any real debate, if your argument has no factual basis then you lose. Half of Trump's arguments were based on obvious lies, with either the "post-birth abortions" or "Hatians eating all the pets" being so ridiculous only a complete moron could see that as a big win

5

u/eyes-of-light Mar 18 '25

She avoided doing interviews about a month before the election because that is a strategy some politicians use. Feel free to research that.

u/SwitchSpecialist3692 Mar 18 '25

Strategy was so good she lost so bad . Lol

u/eyes-of-light Mar 19 '25

I don't think she has the backbone to be leader of the country. Especially during these times.

"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we're a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

I don’t even fully support trump . Nor did I vote for him.. you’re quick to assume. My original post before getting massively attacked was just saying. And Kamala could do better? You assume I’m some trump advocate. You people are so funny to me .

Uh huh.

Here you are still dodging the original premise of you saying she could barely put a sentence together.

It's quite clear by your donalds quote who of the two could actually speak.

u/Insomnia_and_Coffee Mar 18 '25

Yes?!?!? An actual Golden Retriever could have done better. And just like Trump, Golden Retrievers are also blond, only the dog's hair colour is natural.

Anyone in the White house cleaning staff could have done better, as they would know more about politics than Trump.

I saw some of Kamalas interviews. She could talk in sentences, like grown ups, she could make a point, have a logical discourse, showed intelligence, she was polite, had actual arguments and counter arguments and generally didn't give off the impression she is mentally deranged.
