    Generally speaking, it’s usually not wise to do what a rapist tells you to do. It doesn’t stop their rapist tendencies.

      Trump’s religion is the worship of Trump.

      He’s been singlularly ineffective at gaining wealth except by theft, and he is too stupid to wield power effectively.

        I think he has wielded power very effectively. You just misunderstood his objective: he never wanted to govern. He only ever wanted to enrich himself, his family, and his cronies.

    Zelensky listened to the US early on and left the petro alone. Big mistake as it may have ended the war by now if Russia didn’t have the petro dollars.

    “Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump said. “Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel.”

    Fucking idiot.

    But Trump said America doesn’t need anyone else’s oil, and the they harvest and produce more than anyone else, so they won’t be affected by any of this.

    Does this mean he lied to me?

    My question = Has Trump ever told Putin to stop striking civilian infrastructure in Ukraine?

    Ukraine was forced to attack Russian refineries by Trump’s war on Iran. That war sent fuel prices skyrocketing, and thereby also Russia’s oil revenue, which Putin uses to fund the war. In order to hinder Russia’s ability to wage war, Ukraine had no option but to start blowing up Russian refineries. At least that way Russia doesn’t profit from Trump’s inflated oil prices.

    And with Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, it’s impossible to argue it’s not a legitimate target. If Trump doesn’t like it, he has to provide an alternative. Complaining about the consequences of his actions isn’t going to fix anything.

      Zynism:

      I’d almost bet we see Trump threatening Ukraine with the US entering the war on Russias side in the next months…

      “Staff are quickly tiring of cleaning up all of his ‘released statements’ wherever he goes. ‘The smell is…terrible. Unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.’ said one personal aide on the condition of anonymity.”
