He claims Trump would act immediately upon winning the election, before taking office. Which sounds legally dubious, but not that that's ever stopped Trump....

Trump is in favor of Russia annexing Ukraine.

Peace this does not make.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So is Orbán, and what is probably a majority of conservatives at least if they're being honest (which doesn't happen too often)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

They don’t care what happens as long as Putin is happy.

"They would make a desert and call it peace"

[–] [email protected] 105 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I’m not seeing any reference to Trump being honest in the article.

It’s fairly trivial for the US president to end the conflict. Stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and send them to Russia instead, and it’d be over in a week. This is something I fully believe Trump could do.

I'm not sure if you could call Russian occupation 'peace' in Ukraine

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

This is exactly what these people mean when they say "peace"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

It will give Russia another 6-10 years before they do it again just like last time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That would not bring peace though. Russia would just start with the next country/countries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most likely, as a condition of the "peace". Russia would promise not to invade anywhere for a few years to make Trump look good...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

So when did russia not break any promise they gave? They already promised to not invade Ukraine!

It's just bs.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ok, but the world isn’t looking for the kind of peace Trump would broker.

What the world wants is for Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ugh... Ukraine is screwed, huh. We're all screwed, perhaps.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If Trump wins the entire world is fucked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why isn't this being run on a real news outlet‽

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Because "real" news outlets prioritize their owners' short-term profits over the survival of humanity.

"Can he also protect the virginity of my daughters" asked the man.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Sure can.... if he takes it from them he's protecting it, right? /s

My downstairs neighbour is super right wing, told me he is as far right as you can go, full on conservative voter in the UK.

The other day he told me Trump is the only one that is going to be able to save the world and under his rule, the Russia Ukraine war would have never happened.

Told him Trump is in bed with Russia and would have just allowed them to take over, he said no and Trump siding with Russia would benefit the entire world's economy.

Straight face said this to me, man has brain-rot.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I would have asked how does a country start a war invading itself, not really expecting anything intelligent response, but let's him know real fast I think he's insane, hopefully. Then actually treat him like a snot-noise kid, brushing him off.

What's russian bringing to the world economy other than cheap oil? That you can source from multiple other less dickish countries.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Which would also hurt the economy, given that the US is pumping more oil than ever...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Much like Hitler. Such a good guy

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Russia can take over Ukraine.

See no more war. Told you I'd end it"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You missed the lines: 'Great deal, greatest of all deals, me dealt, great. Yes, great deal. No other president to be able to make this deal.'

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Beautiful deal. The Best.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I would pay to be able to see the faces of the EU leaders while telling them such nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

What a cunt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

....and now that all Ukrainians are safe here in Gaza, how about a round of applause for our earless leader Ronald Ray Rump!...oh donald like the duck?...

EU is such a joke for letting Hungary have presidency

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's a rotating system, so it wasn't a deliberate decision.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm aware of that, still shouldn't have been allowed, they shouldn't even be in the EU to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Before Orban and his cronies took over, Hungary was on an upwards trajectory in terms of rule of law, personal liberties. In fact Orban himself started politics with a pretty progressive programm. Guess he got bought out along the way though and like the cash a little bit too much.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago

Trump will not be doing any of this.
