US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

    If the Chinese leader acted like this they would be lighting police stations on fire. Why are Americans limp dicked?

    The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.

      Israel is like a city in US. They have 10 million population. They are local, not global players.

      I fully expected you to say Xi

        I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the “sociopath” is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, whole China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren’t saints either.

      I don’t want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

    I guess by that standard, I made a “pretty big concession” by not doing that 3rd push-up. I totally could have, promise.

    Fuck the US. It’s on the same level as Russia and China for me at this point.

    In the US there is this new slur “Trump hater”, which is apparently a negative trait to have…I think it is supposed to mean you’re clinically insane…Because who in their right mind doesn’t love Trump??

        It’s even dumber than that. Because, using the same parallel, he didn’t do it only because she kicked him in the balls and pulled out a knife (meaning: Ukraine defended itself, it was not Moscow’s decision to stop).
