What is the game of these Russian stooges like the GOP? Or the domestic pro-Russian parties here in Europe? Russia who is close allied with Iran, China and North Korea(and frankly has been allies for years, just low-key) is now suddenly a friend of the west? Or do they consider these upstanding members of the international community to be a role model?
they initially said that Kiev can be taken in 3 days, now they need Trump’s help? What a joke
Vance is puppet of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, that’s why. That’s the reason why Trump picked him, to get money. Also, he’s a horrible misogynistic chud licking up to extremist Christians, so no women should ever vote for him or Donnie.
Of course, amoral ultra-rich cretins like Thiel and Musk will be easily controlled by fear of assassination, as soon as Vlad wishes. Both of them want to live forever, for sure.
JD Vance will say anything to anyone at any time to get what he wants, which is power. Then he will pretend he never said anything of the sort and change the subject and the media will let him off the hook because the media prefers going after Democrats’ gaffes. In all honesty tho I feel the organge selected him to please the donors. Trump won’t let anyone take away the spotlight from him, and the VP position is for rendering powerless and subservient your political opponents.
Plans are working out for Putin. I’m in awe of criminals and pure evil that can cancel so much of humanity’s achievements in a couple of years. We are in the middle of transition from Weimar to very dark ages. Ukraine will likely fall and so will the Baltics and eventually the Western way of life that we hold dear for the last 80 years. After the last couple of weeks this is the first time I feel like this spiral is not stoppable anymore.
The aligned power of the GOP, Russia and possibly China (India, Iran… so on) will force Europe to it’s knees in a decade. Some European countries will fall to the far right and disintegrate the union from within.
All of this because one side thinks it’s better to play by the ‘old’ rules than to finish off fascism with force.
i don’t remember what month it was, but this video is “pretty” old now

Intoxicated dima at it again. But this excuse of a human waste aside, it seems like the Trump is their only plan on at least some sort of winning this at this point.
Wonder what they do if he looses, or by some incredible miracle trump won’t act how they expect him to (i know it’s highly unlikely but still).
Mark my words: if Trump wins, we will be in a hot war with Russia.
Why? Because only the US has the weight to steer this conflict to a remotely stable place with measures that don’t cross the threshold of war or, in other words, facilitate Ukraine holding steadily until Russian war effort collapses on itself.
If you don’t understand why this is the only scenario in which this war “blows over”, that’s probably because:
a) you think this war is about those four oblasts
b) you think it’s possible for any Ukrainian leader to negotiate away land that Russia doesn’t hold and not get immediately droned by the soldiers who live there and
c) you think the fact that “Ukraine survives on Western aid” means that the moment some big country stops aid, sending aid will fall out of fashion and all of Eastern Europe will forget that Ukraine getting
rolled over would be an existential catastrophe
Let me tell you how it will play out if Trump pulls the plug:
First there will be immediate squealing for peace talks from your usual Western concern trolls, but nothing will come out of it because what is politically survivable for both Putin and Zelensky is still light years apart.
Then nothing will change for a long while because Trump won’t have the power to reverse the aid that was already committed and Russia will become ever more unhinged in its pursuit of territorial gains at horrendous human costs. Europe will step up aid by some laughably insufficient amount.
Then, after the essential stocks of ammo finally dry up for good after Russian “meat assault” number 737625687, there will be a cascade of Avdeevka-like situations that, for the first time since March 2022, will put Ukraine in the sort of trouble where the EU leaders don’t have the comfort of hosting press conferences and adjusting the hawkishness/dovieshness of their tone depending on how they see the situation gradually develop, but have to do something now if they don’t want to have a million+ pissed-off, blood-soaked Russian on EU’s borders and Putin barking demands at them.
They haven’t really properly contemplated that latter proposition yet because that’s not what would happen if Ukraine was to fold in two weeks and there’s nothing our leaders love more than being stuck in an outdated paradigm. Ukraine falling in 2025 is a vastly different scenario than Ukraine falling in 2022, the scale and the stakes of the war have risen by an order of magnitude since then and when the EU is finally smacked in the face with that reality, our establishment will realize that this outcome is even more spooky than what was spooking us about helping Ukraine until that point and they’ll try to over-correct. Someone will decide that if there’s a good chance we’re gonna be fighting Russia, it’s better to do it with Ukrainians still getting the most of the heat and that’s when WW3 will start in earnest.
That’s how we’ll get from Trump to a full-blown war with Russia.
If anyone had any doubts about Vance and his master, here is your confirmation.
The approved Putin’s choice for vice president.
Medvedev being Putin’s bottom, is unlikely to provide a reliable assessment of what Ruzzia thinks it can “force” Ukraine to do – with or without the help of their White House side-project.
The “total & unconditional capitulation of Ukraine” demand here is from Dmitry “I Get Drunk Not Just Posting Online but Also Blowing on Pukin” Medvedev, in case some people here didn’t understand.
Not that the supposed Trump team’s plan is much better.
Is this sub a propaganda outlet? I font want to know anything about the disgusting Russian regime and its apparatchiks
What a time to be alive! Good that we’ve had politicians in the EU that basically sat there and did nothing, with the US entirely outgrowing Europe economically while hardly making any progress on our military. Ursula (and the rest of our taxfree salary-receiving Germany-oriented EU leadership) should be deeply, deeply ashamed that it has come this far. This is also up to them.
I am wondering what are these Russian ground forces they are talking about. Literally everything Russia has achieved in these years is shelling civilian infrastructure with the cruise missiles and taking over a few flattened cities and villages in the Eastern Ukraine. For any big ground invasion they need much more soldiers and equipment that is now almost impossible for them to deploy at the border without everyone knowing about it. The second Russia will deploy a large amount of soldiers and equipment at the Ukrainian border the same day Pentagon will alert Ukraine about it. After that there will be a 24/7 risk for all of them just being pulverized with a help of some missiles before them even stepping on Ukrainian soil.
That’s the reason why i would vote for Biden, i see only chaos from the other side, better to have someone that is mostly comprehensible and can do his duties (considering also the balance reached in EU) than someone who has 30 confirmed tax charges for tax frauds that should handle taxes from the white house with a degenerate VP aiming to destabilize the balls reached in EU, these are the perfect ingredients for chaos 🤷♂️
Why are they applauding? It‘s enough that they pay them
Is it even worth it to read russian news ? That’s a waste of time lmao
Russian puppeteers and their seemingly compliant American puppets. That’s incredibly worrying.
Didn’t Vance consider himself as some sort of champion of the long politically misrepresented American working class? His background is interesting. He is no intellectual slouch that’s for sure
Seriously why do Trumples believe Trump cares about them? A guy got literally shot and killed by a bullet meant for him, and he went golfing instead of calling/meeting the widow, which is not only incredibly callous, you’d think it’s not even a good campaigning tactic lol…
People are fucking insane.
