It cannot be stated enough how much of a complete and utter malicious, incompetent retard Donald Trump is, and how fucking cowardly the Republican party is for standing by as he does everything in his power to aid America's worst enemy.

In other news, we have Trump being pissed that Zelensky isn't wanting to just write off Crimea in return for nothing. Still no sign of him growing a backbone when it comes to Russia.
Trump has spent the last 12 years trying to act like appeasing dictators/hostile imperialistic powers like Russia is some kind of secret trick to get whatever you want when it comes to geopolitical conflict and diplomacy. Time and time again it's been proven that this stupid tactic of blaming the victim while buttering up the oppressor has NEVER worked out, which is why every other President before him (and after, in the case of Biden's term) has always stuck to simply funding and aiding allies until the aggressor learns to fuck off and chill out.
All those photo ops of him shaking hands with Putin, Kim Jong-Un, etc -- him and his base see them as him having "corralled" the extremist factions governing the world by befriending them, when really they've corralled
him.
America gains literally
nothing by ditching Ukraine. The amount of money spent on paying US weapons manufacturers to build and arm Ukraine is negligible, Ukraine being conquered means the west has lost one of its last true allies in Eastern Europe (the second largest country in Europe), and it gives all of our enemies a greenlight to do whatever they want to America's allies.
Putin gains
everything from Trump throwing Zelenskyy under the bus. Russia has absolutely zero to offer the US as a trade partner that other countries can't provide, and hasn't for the last 80 years. America lifting sanctions on Russia and becoming trade partners would help
Russia more than it would help the US.

Trump's famed business "acumen" has repeatedly been proven to be a fluke propped up by Daddy's Name and Daddy's Money (as well as some incredible scriptwriting on the part of The Apprentice's writing team), but he is, however, a great marketer, which is why millions of people genuinely believe he's some kind of negotiating savant.
Trump's entire populist profile is based on three ideas:
1) There's a simple answer to everything no matter how complex things truly are
2) The people in power before me overcomplicated things by thinking them through before doing them
3)
oh yeah and
4) Nothing is my fault
The last time he tried to apply this mode of thinking, 13 soldiers were killed after he foisted the Afghanistan pullout onto Biden. Now he's trying to pull this shit again, leaving our allies high and dry as if it makes the problem go away instead of get much worse.
