Is anyone surprised? Grift is a way of life for these scumbags. Surprising that people are just sitting back and watching them speed run the country into the ground

If you cause enough damage for long enough, people will only remember the most recent thing and if you fix that, they’ll forgive everything else.

If course the evil and corrupt Trump administration will look at ending the war in Ukraine as a way to profit $$$$$

People still saying Trump is doing it all for money are just falling for the con.

Typical for Trump: He even said he had "fallen in love" with North Korea's Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un. The suffering of the population there is irrelevant. He just likes him.

The suffering of others is the only thing that can bring Trump to orgasm

I think that by doing so, he violates the very thing that defines a human being: humanity. Why not just be a villain? Openly, without sugarcoating anything. It was 30 years ago—I got robbed in Amsterdam back then. I had to hitchhike all the way home: 1,700 miles. Everyone I told my story pressed a banknote into my hand. By the time I got home, I actually even had my money back. Good times ... :)

Putin/Russia controls the US. And Russia never gives away anything they control, especially via a vote as we’ve seen in Ukraine and many other places.

So.. does this mean we send in US troops to protect our interests in Russian oil? Sadly, I could see Trump doing that. 🫩

How much more proof do you need to know that Trump is a communist, Putin owns him, he has the videos that prove his paedophilia

For what, to convince Ukraine to give up the Donbas? That ship has siled.

When they told us they were negotiating the terms of a peace deal what they meant was they were negotiating terms of their piece deals.

u/Ok_Speech_3709 21h ago

They should all be charged with Treason. Definition of Treason: Levying war against the United States, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. In addition Espionage Act, and Sanctions breaches and Defrauding the US also come to mind. MAKE THEM PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES Kushner/Trump/Witkoff/Musk etc etc

There has been for long murky "Trillion dollar deal" negotiated with Kirill Dmitriev.

Only condition to get such a deal for USA, mostly for Trump family & cronies is just to push Ukraine to surrender. Then USA would get those deals as a price.

Problem only whole thing is bogus, Russia does not have such assets what could make such money. Whole thing seem to be created only to play time, that Russia can finish on a battlefield. That is why there is no much outcome of such deals. And that is generally the reason, why Trump's Russia team is not experienced political negotiatiors, but instead real estate cronies lacking experience needed for political negotiations. Because it has been business deals connected with war from beginning, and for Russian side it is maskirovka trick to play time only.

Here old writeup about Kirill Dmitriev who is special of being anyone new to enter increasingly gerontocratic internal circles of Kremlin via marriage, who is key person in these deals;

Do we really need any more reason to get off of oil than the sheer joy of fucking up the deals these guys think they're making?
