Russian invasion of Ukraine

"Biggest War since WW2"

According to Trump.

Read all the estimates on Wikipedia and elsewhere - it's not bullshit at all.
I'll let you find them - they're not difficult to find at all.
Bottom line, Russia are gaining a small amount of ground in exchange for truely horrendous casualties, and that is NOT winning a war. There comes a point where these casualties are unsustainable.

Taking land is one thing, holding it is quite another.
Time and time again we've seen Russians throwing bodies to take towns and villages, losing thousands, only for the Ukrainians to take it back again, rendering the Russkies entire 'campaigns' worthless

"Biggest War since WW2"

According to Trump.

Which means it isn’t.

He’s probably trying to downplay the scale of ‘Nam to make his own bone spurs related cowardice look less disgraceful.

 

[TinFoilHat]

He's rambling as usual.

My take from it is he's expecting Europe to sort it.

What we learned today:

Trump still an insufferable bullying gobshite.

 

[cleavers]

Any right minded person would only side with a peaceful country when it is invaded, especially by a much larger country.

Key sentence there.

The video rhetoric often posted here proves nothing about "winning", it's largely noise. Nobody is winning the war, but by being not over taken after nearly 4 years, by a much bigger, and supposedly better armed invading country, Ukraine is certainly winning the hearts and minds of right minded people, especially when it targets military, oil, and gas targets, and not civilian targets.

Exhausting. How long do we have to do this dance with Trump?

Just get the plan executed, get America cut out of the European deal and sell to each other rather than them.

Got to be soon.

Zelenskky looked like he was going to cry just now, i think trump has tried to bully him again, why the fuck is trump still punishing and threatening the victims in this scenario whilst rimming putin. I have no fucking idea why trump does not have any respect for a war time democratically elected president who didn't run away

I would have been very happy of Zelenskyy to say at the news conference that he demands every one of the thousands of child hostages putin has must be returned immediately, say it every time he speaks, the orange **** has kids snd grandkids so surely he must have sympathy for the kids and their parents or maybe he just doesn't give a fuck

Not much gets my blood boiling anymore, just this

He probably counts Cambodia v Thailand as 2 now, they did stop then start again, maybe he has an agreement with them both to keep stop starting ?

How anyone can take Russia’s word seriously when we have seen just this weekend Russian drones slamming into residential tower blocks in Kyiv. Zero condemnation from the White House, they look the other way as Trump knows he can make a quick buck off when Russia gets allowed back on the international stage.

Trump fears democracy - living under the rule of law would end his power immediately. He admires Putin.

Trump is a coward. The mere existence of Zelensky shows him up for what he is.

Trump is malevolent and needs retribution on his enemies to maintain loyalty through fear. Zelensky defied Trump over Hunter Biden

Trump is corrupt to the core as is Putin. Trump will be personally enriched by doing business with Putin if he delivers Putin a victory.

Short version: personal power and wealth will flow to Trump if he can force a Ukrainian surrender.

Spot on. Trump also shows no embarrassment in publicly siding with Putin.

When will
a) the USA wise up get him out of power
b) Europe and other countries divorce itself from Trump altogether claiming the US administration cannot be trusted.

I believe that fundamentally Trump despises Zelensky (for the Hunter Biden incident).

All Trump cares about is optics - and it’s hard (and threatening) for him to compete with a leader who’s shown immense courage, determination and resilience (because he has non of those things).

If Trump can help his mate Putin in gaining some more concessions from Ukraine, he thinks history will be rewritten and the world will forget how brilliant Zelensky has been. In his warped mind, the absence of truly brilliant leaders will elevate his standing in this phase of history.
