It's really astounding that Donald will lie his ass off about almost anything but can't muster the will to lie about protecting Ukraine. No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.
That’s exactly what he means by “ending the war” and it “never happening in the first place”
That's the one thing he CAN'T lie about. Putin has him on a very short leash, and he would catch hell for even implying that Ukraine should be defended.
For Putin, it's not about getting Trump in office, it's about PR, and saying you'll defend Ukraine is not good PR.
I hate writing lengthy apology letters too.
So, turning Ukraine into a mass prison that people are desperatly trying to escape, where people are kidnapped on the streets and sent to die on the frontlines? Can they somehow opt-out of this protection? Yeah, didn't think so, obviously you know what's better for other people.
Obviously it wouldn't happen, just the current front lines would become the new borders.
But even your bogeyman "hand over Ukraine to Russia" is still orders of magnitudes better for Ukrainians than the current situation.
I'm sure he'll be happy with the Sudetenland!
Nah probably not, but he'll be stopped at Kursk just like the last time :)
Man I wish your hometown would get conquered by a hostile force.
Well, as a Ukrainian, I also hope so, but unironically.
Because if my hometown will get conquered by "hostile force" people will finally be able to leave, and I will be able to visit it and leave it afterwards.
