You absolutely edited that. The initial link was to a reddit thread from well over a year ago

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 0 points 28 minutes ago* (last edited 21 minutes ago)

I know, I am trying to find the original link because it was mixed up. It was over a year ago when they started wearing those specific patches that included Alaska and it has been on r/military repeatedly. It's hard to find due to nonspecific keywords (lots of patches posts). Here are some other links about Alaska as a long term goal for Putin as well, it's not just the patches

With all this factual evidence on Trump and that fact his approval rating is what I would refer to as Very high. I think we’re in for a bad time. Good people are devoted to supported an obvious villain. Luckily the economy is failing hard right now, couple that with the Tariffs and we might be able to defeat this undercover cristo fascist regime. But Goddamn fucking Trump really is just made of fucking Teflon.

Good people are devoted to supported an obvious villain.

Where on Earth do you draw the line beyond which people aren't good people anymore?

"Well, he's devoted to supporting an obvious villain, but he only force feeds rat poison to children occasionally, so he's still good people.". 🙄

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 3 points 31 minutes ago

What? I'm pretty sure his approval rating is historically low.

Im starting to suspect Putin has blackmail evidence on Trump

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He probably does, but it also doesn't matter at this point.

Trump has vacillated on Russia just in the last year. There's a chunk of the MAGA base that wants to stop all funding to Ukraine. Trump started down that path. Then he tried to negotiate a peace deal with Putin and got snubbed because Trump has nothing to offer. Then he started up funding to Ukraine again in retaliation.

Now he needs a distraction from the Epstein Files. He's been desperately asking for ideas around the White House (we know this because this White House leaks more than Trump's bladder). He thinks selling out Ukraine will be it.

Whatever blackmail Putin has at this point is immaterial. Whatever it is, Trump will just call "fake news" and it'll be in the news cycle for a bit, and then go away. Trump is following what he thinks is in his own best interest regardless of what Putin has.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 48 minutes ago* (last edited 48 minutes ago)

Putin IS the news cycle online here. He has massive bots armies thru BRICS made of slaves (bots are slaves). The Epstein thing bubbling up (based on old info like the Michael Wolff Epstein interviews which I posted months ago and couldn't get anyone to watch) is because Putin is mad at him and wants him to do something shitty. That's why he keeps saying weird pleading stuff at Putin - he is literally protecting us right now (well, not "us," but himself). That's why he asked Ukraine to assassinate Putin.

He likely ran his own child trafficking orgs and participated in some very illegal shit. He sold nuclear secrets for this. And now he is resisting because Putin probably wants him to do something truly unhinged like bomb Los Angeles, so BRICS has an excuse to invade.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He didn't offer any funding that "deal" was essentially "Europe can give weapons to Ukraine and purchase replacements from the US" and looks like there's even no guarantee on the replacements.

Seems like a lot of people got fooled.

Direct aid has happened under Trump.

https://www.csis.org/analysis/trump-administration-boosts-immediate-military-aid-deliveries-ukraine

President Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced on July 14 a new delivery mechanism for sending weapons to Ukraine. While much is unclear about the new policy, it appears NATO member states will send weapons from their stockpiles to Ukraine and buy U.S. replacements.

Which is referring to what you're talking about, but there's also:

Separately, the Trump administration this week announced weapons sales to Ukraine totaling $652 million under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, adding to the $310 million in FMS approved in May. Every additional shipment helps at a time when Ukraine’s cities are being attacked nightly, and the Russian ground offensive continues day-by-day.

So yes, the US is still sending direct aid to Ukraine.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 15 minutes ago)

First paragraph is what I talked about. Second is not aid but sale. It is crazy that he is even blocking sales so people are clapping when he allows. India sells weapons to Ukraine too, are you also count that as an aid?

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 45 minutes ago

the US is still sending direct aid to Ukraine.

I'm exchange for cash though. Not the same as under Biden.

[–] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago

That and I'd bet the Epstein stuff finally breaking through on the right was partially due to a Russian influence op. I don't think it's a coincidence that it happened right after Trump pissed off Putin by attacking Iran and openly criticizing him.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

Here's an old post of mine with many reputable links about the blackmail Russia has on Trump, including a link to the 2018 documentary Active Measures which stars John McCain and Hillary Clinton. https://lemmy.world/post/21951906/13431373

You mean, Agent Krasnov?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Even if he did, it wouldn’t change a damn thing. His base are completely blinded.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Not even that, the entire legal and justice system is completely paralyzed to that Trump could violate a girl on the rose garden lawn in front of the press and nothing would happen aside from much screaming and posturing.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 1 points 47 minutes ago

Hopefully the girl he chooses to rape is someone like Aileen Wuornos

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

K is for Kompromat.

[–] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

At this point the only way for him to stop the Epstein coverup from exploding is if he kills Putin during his visit

Breaking news: Trump biographer Michael Wolf dies in a car crash.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] paranoid@lemmy.world 33 points 3 hours ago (5 children)

It's in the second article linked above, but the short answer seems to be this:

According to Trump biographer Michael Wolf, Trump and Epstein allegedly competed to see which of the two could sleep with [Princess] Diana first

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

The article calls Epstein a "disgraced financier", but it fails to call Trump a "disgraced president" or "disgraced businessman."

I also mention this because it's somewhat ironic that these two disgraces were after somebody who was actually graceful.

[–] mateofeo85@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

After the crash?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 2 hours ago

Ugh these people are disgusting.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago
