      Senile man acts senile. More news at 11.

      Next week: “Putin is crazy, I don’t think he wants peace at all”.

      Poor guy is stuck in an infinite loop.

      Your comment reminded me of how I got banned from lemmy.world news 2 years ago — a comment about an SC justice wiping Trumps cum from his mouth.

      It may sound alarmist, but it is fair.

      Trump represents the US on the world stage, and arguably, the President has more direct power in influencing international policy than domestic policy.

      In some ways, the American people’s democratic election of Trump is a more devastating trespass against foreign nations than it is against their own nation.

        democratic election of Trump

        🤣

        The GOP has voter disenfranchisement down to a science. Something like 200k voters were purged in Georgia alone.

    Imagine a US President saying he had a good call with the counterpart of a rogue state threatening to the existence of one of your allies. Wait you don’t have to imagine it unfortunately 🤮

    Who wants to bet he never actually talked to putin and he just sits in the oval office alone for 1 hour talking to himself thinking what a great deal he made. And none of it actually happened.

      The issue is that because of nuclear treaties between USA and Russia, Russia is required to park their nuclear bombers out in the open. If USA wants Russia to keep them out in the open, they had to make a good argument.

        Are they? They stopped letting the americans tour their nuke facilities a while ago, basically nullifying that part of the agreement. What’s stopping them from doing the same again?

          Yeah the treaty history between USA and Russia is complex. Russia stopped participating a few years ago in the recent version of START. Said they’d still maintain warhead numbers though.

    Weakest president ever. FGS imagine another US president just meekly passing on a Russian threat rather than saying what the USA is going to do about it

    “We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes…”

    Is “docked” the correct term for airplanes parked on the tarmac? Seriously, I don’t know. You could use it for seaplanes moored to a dock, I guess, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

    Delegations sent by Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Istanbul on Monday to discuss how the conflict between their nations might end peacefully…

    I’m tired of this being treated like some complex puzzle, where every proposed solution only seems to create more problems. It’s actually very simple. HEY PUTIN: Stop shooting. GTFO of Ukraine. Return the Ukrainian people you’ve kidnapped. It’s just that easy!

      It was a common term back during the revolutionary war when the American troops stormed the airports.

        Remember the incident at the docks when the revolutionaries threw the T-Mobile imports into the harbour? Talk about high tariffs!

    The reason Putin called Trump is to reset his brain on feelings towards Russia and to try to get him to block or otherwise influence the upcoming sanctions vote in the US.

    It’s so obvious, makes sense Trump would fall for it

    Putin and Zelenskyy should take turns having “good conversations” with Trump, like throwing a frisbee of douchebag impotence back and forth to each other.
