Americans should imagine losing several large states at once to understand Russia’s territorial demands on Ukraine — Finnish President Alexander Stubb

  1. Americans need it spelled out in crayon to understand

  2. Many Americans struggle with the basic necessities of life, housing, food, education, healthcare and transportation that they see helping Ukraine doesn’t help pay their bills.

    That’s is basically why Trump got elected and why he’s trashing government, the less fortunate believe they’re being taxed to death, when actually the billionaires have rigged the system to subjugate the poor.

  3. It doesn’t help that I guarantee you 100% of Americans could pick at least three states they would love to see disappear from the country. Personally I wouldn’t even notice if Oklahoma, Mississippi and Arkansas vanished overnight. The only difference would be that our national literacy rate would go up and our national infant mortality rate would go down.

  4. That’s still too complex. Let’s say you have 5 apples. Wait we don’t eat fruit forget it.

  5. Wait a minute… are we allowed to pick which ones? A few of those wouldn’t be so bad.

  6. Exactly. You need to reason with trump like a child.

    Imagine America was at war with Mexico and it took half of Texas and Arizona while bombing the sh*t out of Florida, and to stop they say “I Promise to stop if you give me the rest of these states and New Mexico, and you move all your defensive equipment to Canada”

  7. It’s more like Trump needs to imagine losing a property to a gang of thugs to understand. Many of us get it pretty easily.

  8. May be exaggerating but this honestly encourages people to try us. If a southern border state like Arizona or Texas decided to leave on the basis that it’s failing to support it’s Latin population and has the sufficient means to arm itself we would fold over so fast and let anyone make a deal. According to this. It’s gonna violate so many norms of borders around the world.

  9. I mean Trump is ready to give Russia Alaska so I think they know. Just didn’t care

  10. Some Americans i’ve read:

    “Well, we’re not the ones in a war losing”

    “They should have fought harder”

    “You can’t compare us to Ukraine, we have yada yada yada, no way we would get to that point”

    “We can stop any advance anyone tries, they wouldn’t even land on our soil”

    No empathy whatsoever, just “nuh-uh”

  11. Really appreciate the adults in the room like Finland thank you. Trump is just a platform for Putins objectives.

  12. I think it’s sad as an American that it needs to be spelled out. Like come on guys we all took geography. It’s not hard to understand that it would be the equivalent of losing some states.

  13. What do he think that losing some certain states as a bad thing?

  14. In trumps fucked up world view ‘right is might’ so there’s no point trying to explain to him the intricacies of finding empathy.

  15. Now I know what you guys are gonna say but I live in Florida. “Let me tell you something… LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!”

  16. Yeah, Trump should at least offer Ruzzia Alaska and Florida.

  17. Crazy that we are considering giving land to an aggressor. Next it’s the US invading Greenland and annexing it with no opposition… 🤨
