The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

We just don't know that. We dont know the terms. I think the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine are the very least of what he wanted and certainly not everything he wanted. We also don't know what it means for prevention of any Russian incursion in the future.

But you are right. It is peace through appeasement but the alternative is war, potentially a war almost without end and a war that is devastating for Ukraine but also for Europe generally.

The only alternative is the total defeat of Russia, which seems staggeringly unlikely or the death of Putin which will obviously happen one day but we don't know who would replace him and either way that throw of the dice applies whether you seek peace or not

I’d say an alternative is talks, and hopefully a peace, where both sides get fair and equal representation - the conservation has shifted to a choice between war or peace on the aggressors, Russia’s , terms.

OK, so now we know Trump has had his eye on rare earth minerals in Ukraine. Also it seems Putin is now offering to Trump the mineral deposits which are found within the Ukranian territory captured by Russia! You couldn’t make it up. I suppose it just illustrates the mentality of the pair of them.

Trump has just got Starmer to increase defence spending instead of foreign aid.

Zelensky to visit the White House tomorrow.

Russia met last week.

It's almost as if the US is speaking to both sides to try and end the war? Heaven forbid of course!

Indefensible and sick IMO.

No suprise to see the Tate brothers getting the Proud Boys red carpet treatment.

They're on child grooming charges right ? Assume Musk has already called for an inquiry.

In his first month in office, Donald Trump destroyed federal agencies, fired thousands of government workers and unleashed dozens of executive orders. The US president also found time to try to broker an agreement between two rival golf tournaments, the US-based PGA Tour and the LIV Golf league, funded by Saudi Arabia.

If concluded, the deal would directly benefit Trump’s family business, which owns and manages golf courses around the world. And it would be the latest example of Trump using the presidency to advance his personal interests.

Who would have thunk it!

If only other world leaders were just as productive, eh?

God bless America.

I wonder if in the last 8 years or so there has been a single balanced commentary piece in the guardian about the current American president?
