I'm just gonna be relieved if the Republicans don't deploy troops in Ukraine on Putin's side.
I have a feeling that after January there will be no more support for Ukraine. Zelensky committed the ultimate sin of not giving Trump dirt on Hunter Biden and now he will be punished for it.
Well once Trump is power and having both houses, yeah support for Ukraine will definitely stop. Not going to prevent the other nations but US support will stop. Also all of the US sanctions on Russia will end as well as that will be easy for him to do.
Democrats will complain but probably won't be able to do anything about it. Not sure of the makeup of the Republicans in Congress or Sanate as in who are traditional Republican or Trump lackey.

Depends when and if the Republicans get rid of the filibuster.
If every national leader and every Democrat praised Putin in playing Trump. Just congratulate him on making Donald Trump his bitch. Just do it. Just cheer on Putin and remind Trump every day he sure is glad he sucked Putin's dick to become president, twice! I'd do it to his face on live tv if we met, and watch the man go from Putins puppet to nuking Moscow when EVERYONE agrees.

Butbutbut he promised continued support! Though said nowhere which form or how much ot to which end, so "ending the war" could be counted as support, as well as just delivering stuff other nations paid for in Ukraine's interest and so on. Plus he never cares about what he said yesterday anyways.

Ya know what would be funny

I do wish the leaders of nations did something like this. I know Trump did make a speech to the Un back in 2017 where he went into his usual Trumpisms, where the UN laughed at him. He then said 'I didn't expect that'. And honestly this needs to be done more.
MAGA and Trump made it like during Biden's time the US became a laughing stock of the world. The thing I doubt most MAGA pays attention to anyone outside the US. Even though social media can have many people all over the world commenting, but they seem to think social media is only US centric.
These leaders don't have to go straight up and say 'Trump is a fraud', 'Trump is a joke' or anything but at least do or say something.

Putin showed nudes of Melania on national tv to humiliate Trump.
Trump didn't even notice.
This is the Grand Theft Auto timeline.
As i've said before, I really think that we need to reevaluate exactly what the nature is of this friendship between Trump and Putin. I'm having my doubts that Trump is as much on the Russian side as it seemed even a couple of weeks ago. Showing nudes of a man's wife doesn't seem like the act of a friend nor is the nature of this phone call that did or did not happen.
The thing about Trump is, he's unpredictable as we all know. It doesn't matter that he claimed that he would end the war in 24hrs. It doesn't matter that he said, repeatedly, that he does not like how much the war is costing. If Putin shows Trump up, as he is currently doing, he WILL suddenly back Ukraine in this. And his MAGA drones will back him regardless because they will reinvent it inside their heads as some kind of 4th dimensional power play.
Also shows the dynamics of that marriage as well. Those photos have been on the internet since they got married 20 years ago.
It also could be that Putin may have Trump over a barrel and Trump can't do anything about it but stay quiet. Like this was a power move by Putin openly putting Trump in his place knowing that Trump won't do anything even supporting Ukraine.
Putin is now indirectly responsible for the potential fall of Syria. Turns out that Assad was a paper tiger. Once Big Daddy Putin removed his troops there was little else.
Some believe this may encourage Putin to the table. He is going to have two sets of Islamist terrorists on his borders soon, both here and from Afghanistan (although apparently the latter get on well. The Taliban is very happy to accept all of Russia's products at a healthy discount).
In other news, I hear that the North Korean troops keep on defecting to the Ukrainians and who can blame them?
