I know Trump’s word is worth less than dogshit, but hypothetically, he’s now the harm reduction candidate when it comes to Ukraine.

Of course the liberals of reddit are hand-wringing about Putin and “tHe FrEe WoRlD”

    He may promise to shift from Ukraine to China, to escalate another trade war and more. I don`t know which one the CPC prefers but certainly Trump is even more likely to do something stupid in Taiwan specially if they pitch it to him like an opportunity to surpass Biden.

    He may be better on Ukraine but he is same or worse everywhere else. Everything points towards China now so if he realizes he can trade Ukraine with his own war against China he will get broad support from everyone except the few aligned with the tech megacorps and he is just as likely to win.

    Putin was willing to negotiate before the war, but the CPC can only continue to compromise up to a certain point.

      :yea: as I understand it, militarily, the American empire is using Ukraine to encircle Russia first then using their experience there to use what they learn for the fascists in the RoC. But because chuds think Russia is based, they want to go on all out war with China immediately because of gommulism.

        Imagining a cold, calculating general trying to explain this strategy to a state department ghoul who’s wearing branded merch from every arms dealer in the country and who keeps miming rubbing dollar bills together and grinning and interrupting to say “this guy knows what I’m talking about” and elbowing the similarly dressed CIA ghoul next to him.
