Trump will throw Ukraine under the bus.
Lol seriously. Doesn't anyone remember why he was impeached? Come on.
Which time? (Sorry, couldn't help myself. I need the small joys. )
Which time?
Edit: oh dammit. I now see someone else already made this joke. Ok, to make it up to you, I'll tell a different joke.
So a woman in her Chicago high rise apartment was beating a rug with a broom on her balcony. Suddenly a big burst of wind blew her over the railing.
Now she's falling from the 30th floor.
A man on the 25th floor sees this, catches her, and says "Wow, it must be my lucky day! A beautiful woman falls out of the sky and into my arms! Tell me young miss, do you suck dick?"
Outraged by this she screams "NO I DON'T SUCK DICK!!!"
So he drops her.
A man on the 20th floor sees her falling, and catches her. He says: Wow, it must be my lucky day! A beautiful woman falls out of the sky and into my arms! Tell me young miss, would you be willing to fuck me?"
Insulted by the idea she screams "NO I DON'T FUCK STRANGERS!!!"
So he drops her.
As she's falling, she realizes she's going to die, and in her final moments she prays. "Please god, just let ONE more person catch me! I promise to do any revolting thing they ask!"
And on the 15th floor, a woman catches her. Before her rescuer can say a word, the woman screams "I SUCK! I FUCK! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU WANT!!!"
Revolted by this, the woman holding her says "Slut!"
And drops her.
His plan will be to "give Putin everything he wants"
And then he'll be like "aren't I the greatest negotiator?!?"
Absofuckinglutely.
Trump's plan is to end support for Ukraine.
Same plan he made in Syria and Afghanistan. Abandon US allies in the region, hand over all local assets to hostile forces and leak intel like damn spaghetti strainer.
I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered the DoD to hanf over all the intel we have about Ukraine to Russia and withdraw all other support and recon in the area.
The USA, Iran and Russia are responsible for syrian civil war. None should have got involved in it
Be as that may be, Trump absolutely selling out the Kurdish Militia that was a long time US ally in the region was not acceptable.
His plan is to tell Ukraine to stop fighting and just let it happen.
If it's good enough for the woman he rapes it's good enough for Ukraine.
Everyone knows this, but it's difficult to point out how dogshit Trump's "plan" is if he refuses to state what his actual plan is.
I think trump's plan is Ukraine = Russia, then master Vlad will be happy.
Sell Ukraine for Russian golf resorts
Remember when Trump said he would get rid of the ACA and they had a plan to replace it? But he never had a plan and eventually said "who knew healthcare was so complicated?" (Everybody knew it was complicated.) This is the exact same thing.
Only things he likes more than himself are underage girls.
It's sucking putins dick and giving him the land already stolen from Ukraine
His plan is sucking his master Putin's cock!
He will suck Putin's dick so hard that Russia will learn to respect the US again and never dare to start another war
I'm guessing Trump's plan to end the war is "Back Russia and help Putin crush Ukraine." Because (much like Trump's own sycophants) he doesn't realize that he'll the first under the bus when his master no longer needs him.
The plan is stop supporting Ukraine and support Russia. You know this Zelenskyy..
The Ukraine War would end within a week without US support. It would take a Trump admin doing literally nothing for the war to end. That's his plan. To do nothing.
USA aid is very important to Ukraine, but even without it they would continue fighting. Ukraine has been without USA material aid for months already in the past, when the republican party was blocking it. And as it turned out, Ukraine sustained higher casualties and had less offensive power than with USA aid, but they were never close to folding.
Ukrainians + their supporting neighbours are very motivated to not be occupied by Russia, so they're not going to just give up if Putin's stooges come to power in the USA.
There's also the fact that a hypothetical end to US aid wouldn't end EU aid. It's definitely not on the same scale as the US due to our much smaller military sector, but that'd likely change in the event of a US shut-down of aid.
In my mind, the most likely results would be:
Short-term: Very dangerous period for Ukraine, they lose some ground, lots of men (similar to the last time they had a crippling artillery shell shortage).
Medium-term: EU military sector slowly ramps up to meet demand, as about 3/4 of central & eastern EU considers this an existential war that cannot be lost at any cost.
Long-term: After the war is over (however many more years that takes), Russia finally negotiates some kind of ceasefire where they can save some face internally and brag about how they "Denazified" Ukraine while going home and accomplishing nothing, EU is much more self-sufficient and therefore buys less from the US, and they aren't seen as a trust-worthy ally militarily anymore. Even if on paper most EU members are still in NATO, they consider the security guarantees of the EU as much more important and serious.
Heck, Trump declared Canada, a strategic risk during his s presidency. Just to stop steel imports. No one can consider the USA a reliable ally as long as Maga is around.
Occupying a country that size doesn’t take a mere week. So no, it won’t.
The plan? Ukraine surrenders unconditional and in totality.
Everyone is saying his plan is to give Ukraine to Russia, but his actual plan is to try to give all of Europe to Russia by pulling out of NATO.
Like the far right in my country before the elections "We have the solution to fix the economy, vote for us" - without of course saying what they're going to do.
Unfortunately, majority of people believed them
Populism works, people like to vote for someone that says what they want to listen even if it's obvious that they're not going to do that
I believe hes already said he would pull all US aid out and let russia have them
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
