      Ukraine then says they’ll stop when Trump sends XYZ equipment. They aren’t beholden to him unless he actually does send them stuff to make listening worth their time.

        By “rude” I assume you mean “odious, offensive, and generally unpleasant to experience for most people with reasonable sensibilities; to be avoided”

        The orange will have a rude awakening if he thinks he can just cut all aid and still dictate to Ukraine what they can and can’t do.

    My thought is, “assassinate Putin. If Americans can’t do it, then who else?. Send Jason Bourn, or Archer, or James Bond, but get it done”.

      The USA assasinating the supreme leader of Russia is such a big trigger to start the nuclear holocaust. That’s so so much worse than the assasination that started WW1. The US isn’t even on the same continent

        Cause that what happened when Stalin died too, right? Someone worse took over who didn’t start his new posi with apologizing for the horrors of the prev party leader, and totes didn’t have the pedophile that lead the NKVD shot, right?

        We have no idea about the chain if command, we don’t even know who would take over! Much less how much secure his rule would be!

        Either explain your reasoning or give certificationof your clairvoyant abilities! Lest I start saying that your mum is a hivemind nest of gay ferrets in a trench coat, since evidence you act as if evidence is requirement…

          Let me answer with a question - would anyone, even Trump, be absolutely chill about Putin assassinating Biden if it happened today?

          Do you really imagine there would be no repercussions?

          This is not about the next psycho in line being even worse than the current, it’s about having a leader of a superpower being murdered as a ploy of their directly rivaling player.

    Unfortunately it’s only in Kursk… For now. If Biden grows half a testicle within the next 2 months, this could get interesting

      Sheeit. If I’m Ukraine I’m holding onto those things and using my own missiles as much as possible until Trump comes into office. Trump cuts off aid, Moscow eats an ATACMS. Zelensky sends Trump a message that simply says, “I’ll do it again”.

      Ukraine blows up the troll farms in the middle of St Petersburg

      USA: WTF, man?

      Ukraine: We typed in the coordinates you gave us! OK, maybe not all of them, and we might have made some up, but we tried!

        “I think you sent us the ones meant for Israel, they went way off target and hit something we were totally not aiming at”
