Post guidelines

Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

The latest comments by the US president come despite Kyiv repeatedly rejecting ceding the peninsula.

Was that based on Zelenski saying that would never happen?

[–] aramova@infosec.pub 18 points 2 weeks ago

Zelenskyy likely said "No way in fucking hell".

Which, Trump being the sociopathic rapist that he is, took that as "Oh yeah daddy I'm ready to give it up"

It was in quotes, like I’d expects.

Trump "thinks" he can predict the future by throwing around clout he really doesn't have. That's why he says he's already met with China. He's brazen enough to think that just because he said it, it'll become true.

Predict? He thinks he can CREATE the future by just saying it out loud

The US has recently warned it would walk away from negotiations if progress was not made.

Aren't negotiations typically between the two parties involved in the conflict? Who the fuck cares if the US walks away? The US currently provides nothing to Ukraine. Take away everything from nothing and you still have nothing. Why is this story even reported?

Yeah, but who's going to supply Ukraine with weapons, ammo, intel? Who is preventing Musk from turning off Starlink? Trump has repeatedly tried to push the narrative that sees Zelenskyy as the one with blood-stained hands.

False. He does not think.
