Donald Trump on why he decided to stop providing Ukraine with air defenses: “I am doing it to stop death.”

[Truth Detector]

Already answered. If you would stop being so triggered and pay attention.

So now, you're not only lying, but crying. Predictable.

So, when do you think Putin will end his aggression? Another four years? Five? How many hundreds of thousands dying is okay with you? How much destruction of Ukraine is fine with you?

Trump is the only one trying to end this and morons like you on the left claim he's a Russian stooge. Brainless.

 

[Truth Detector]

Putin stops the aggression.

When do you think that will be? Five years from now? Ten? After he has accomplished his invasion goals?

 

[Earl]

Yep.......its been a glory hole for money laundering for years now. An all cash business,.......the left LOVES IT. Not for much longer though. The well has run dry and people will do jail time eventually. It will be a GREAT DAY when the crooks who set this all up go down for the count.

The vegetable apparently received some of that laundered money.

 

[Truth Detector]

Then deal with him which Trump won't.

Another asinine lie filled statement. I guess you don't keep up with the news; Trump is trying to bring BOTH parties to the table to find a negotiated peace. Zelensky basically spit in his hand and morons on the left are calling Trump a Putin stooge.

No. It was Trump and Vance who spitted on him.

If the Russian troops went home the war would end. If Ukrainian soldiers dropped their weapons, their country would be overrun. Peace is simple. Putin should go home and fix what he damaged and destroyed.

More illiterate grammar.

Zelensky came to sign an agreement that was the first step in the peace process. He decided to take Democrats advice and not sign and make a public spectacle of himself which didn't go over well with his attempts to grift more money.

He acted like an arrogant punk as a guest to the White House, which is a privilege.

So if Putin does not quit the war? Then what? Brainless dunce. Kamala voters say the stupidest shit.

IDGAF how rich he is, Musk is full of shit.

You rwnj sack-lickers think the amount of money someone has is commensurate with their level of wisdom and worth as human beings.

Just another indication of how mentally screwed up you people are and how fucked up your values are.

What I said wasn't asking about what you think of either person, but a question about what was presented as something they said.

So, who are you going to believe there?

The eccentric billionaire.

Or, a quack, chain smoking, academic who never had a real job in her life?

Figures you'd prefer the Apartheid supporter over the "dirty Jew" who fled Hitler's Germany and wrote "The Banality of Evil"....the latter of which applies directly to people like you, Elon and your Orange Jesus.

Hannah Arendt On Standing Up to the Banality of Evil | Philosophy Break

For 20th-century German philosopher Hannah Arendt, most evil is committed by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

philosophybreak.com

The “banality of evil” is the idea that evil does not have the Satan-like, villainous appearance we might typically associate it with.

Rather, evil is perpetuated when immoral principles become normalized over time by people who do not think about things from the standpoint of others.

Evil becomes commonplace; it becomes the everyday. Ordinary people — going about their everyday lives — become complicit actors in systems that perpetuate evil.

How was I deflecting? @T. A. Gardner was the one who deflected. Notice that he didn't address the topic? Same as you.

What I posted wasn't a deflection, but a direct, if somewhat oblique, response to your OP. Either empathy will be the downfall of the West or it won't. You presented that dichotomy, and I was curious which you, and others, believe. Sure, there was some snark in my response, but that's just me doing me. The question remains, which is correct?

Trump is only disarming one side, the Ukrainians.

You need to stop with the pretending. It was never "the Ukrainians" going to war to "defend their country against the evil Russians"; it was always "Biden's" shadow government going to war against Russia (using Ukraine as a proxy for said war), which has now resulted in Ukraine losing some of its land to Russia.

Trump is only "disarming one side" because the USA is only providing arms to one side (which is the USA side, using Ukraine as a proxy). It's sad that a bunch of Ukrainians AND Russians are now dead mostly because of "Biden's" shadow government.

He isn't doing anything substantial to pressure the Russians.

That's a lie. He's pressuring Russia with various sanctions (meaningful sanctions) and tariffs if they choose to take advantage of "Ukraine" (USA using Ukraine as a proxy) being disarmed.

It's not up to you or Trump to decide for the Ukrainians how long they are allowed to resist a ruthless invader and defend their freedom.

Seriously. STOP with the pretending. There is no "ruthless invader" and there is no "defend their freedom". Zelenskyy is a CIA-puppet dictator who has banned opposition media and has refused to hold elections. All there is is a proxy war (between USA/NATO and Russia, with the USA/NATO side using Ukraine as a proxy for the war).

There is no "good side vs evil side". There is no "little guy defending his freedom against the big evil guy who wants to take it away from him". There's only a deep state proxy war against Russia, which Trump and Putin both want to end.

According to right-wing blowhards, they used to holler that freedom and country are worth dying for. But I guess that was all just bullshit bluster and false bravado.

See above. Stop pretending.

It was in reference to Trump lacking empathy for the Ukrainians which you deflected by asking a silly question.

So if Putin chooses not to stop the aggression, then what? Never ending war?

That is typically, the Russian way of war. They just grind their opponent down in a never-ending fight, no matter how bloody it gets.

For Ukraine, making a solid peace with Russia is their best bet. The MSM notwithstanding, Ukraine is engaged in a war they can't win. The best they can hope for is a continued stalemate with them slowly being reduced to nothing. The Ukrainians are not sufficiently capable or competent to beat Russia, and Russia likewise isn't going to beat Ukraine in the short run. Long term, Russia has the population and economy to stay the course and simply grind Ukraine down. At some point, the Europeans and US will withdraw support simply because they can't keep affording it indefinitely.
