Ukraine Always Get What You Want

As I posted a couple of times on the previous page, words literally cannot describe how much I hate Donald Trump.

This column, by Pablo O'Hana, comes close to giving me the words, though.

Here's something my friends and family have never heard before: I'm completely lost for words.

It's taken me unusually long to gather my thoughts for this column because I just couldn't find what to say...

Trump says he wants peace, but at every turn, he is punishing Ukraine, not Russia. He said he was tired of watching Ukrainian people die.

So why is he apparently preparing to deport 240,000 of them straight back into the jaws of a deadly war zone?

Reports at home and abroad suggest that the President is going to revoke the protections they've enjoyed in the US since fleeing the conflict.

Let that sink in for a moment. These 240,000 humans are not abstract statistics – that's a quarter of a million mothers, fathers, and children who escaped Putin's missiles and brutality.

There are no words to describe the wave of despair I felt upon hearing this news. My initial reaction isn't printable. But as I paced my room, a mixture of frustration and emotion simmering, my phone lit up as friends texted me in complete disbelief.

The conclusion was unanimous. Evil. Not just pure evil, but evil on a historic and unprecedented scale...

This is a tale of two conflicts: the war in Ukraine and the battle for America's soul—and Trump's latest betrayal reveals exactly how America is faring in its internal struggle...

Trump's decision to revoke this protection and throw these families back into Putin's war machine isn't strength, 'America First' or even a vain attempt to secure peace – it's moral bankruptcy at its absolute worst...
 
Oh my god, Trump is literally an idiot. And fork him. Does he WANT World War III? Hey, idiot, why don't you stop bringing it up in the midst of all your stupid, Orwellian, ham-handed attempts at "peace"?

And did you really think Russia WASN'T going to be "absolutely pounding" Ukraine, now that you've pulled all U.S. military aid AND intelligence lines from Ukraine so that it is virtually a sitting duck, just waiting to be taken over by Putin/Russia? You did this, Trump. You did this.

A reporter on Friday asked Trump if he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin still seeks peace, in light of new bombings on Ukraine.

'I believe him, I believe him,' said Trump. 'I think we're doing really well with Russia. It may be easier dealing with Russia.'

Asked about the post and why he isn't sending US air defense forces to deter Russia, Trump said of Ukraine: 'I have to know that they want to settle.'

'I don't know that they want to settle. If they don't want to settle, we're out of there because we want them to settle,' he said, reiterating his stance on Ukraine.

'This thing could end up in a World War III if we don't get it settled. This could really end up in a World War III.'


My god. Stop talking in riddles. Ukraine has said and shown much more willingness to "settle" than Russia has. And Ukraine may not have "the cards," but it certainly has all the minerals you want, and you're holding Ukraine over a barrel for, doesn't it, you piece of ship?
 
Five resolutions supporting Ukraine have been floated recently by Democrats. All have been voted down by Republicans, supposedly because they were resolutions, and not actual bills, and would have no impact on the war.

Maybe not, but it might have been an opportunity to show some bipartisanism, in spirit, at least, instead of constant division and inability to get anything done because of it.
