I was joking, but he might actually get one. Stranger things have hapened.
You could also argue that Ukraine is getting a pretty good deal for its resources. What price would you put on them?
I was joking too but I can imagine heâll think that his dealings will warrant one and itâll somehow legitimise/cement him for the future.
This world is crazy right now.
Yeah, no deal as been done but there is talk of it already. He has been nominated for several in the past aswell!?!
Absolutely no difference between Trump and Putin here, other than Putin didnât make jokes at a press conference before his invasion.

Edit: Not a press conference, Congress.

Not to distract from the bat-shit evil involved but why does that clip look so Ai?
I know itâs not but it looks really offâŚ
Maybe because until now weâd only associate such ludicrous nonsense with AI, have a laugh with it, and move on.

As a metaphor for the Russian war machine? Oof.
Trump says he is considering sanctions and tariffs on Russia unless they came to the table to negotiate a peace deal soon.
Trump says a lot of stuff
On another subject, I didnât know this, but a missile/weapon system isnât just there to be used. Caveats on itâs usage can be enforced by its manufacturer, and this is common practice apparently.
The US makes the best weapons, and missiles, and apparently they could forcefully prevent use against Russia if they so decided. I am not sure how this is enforced but apparently is a thing. For example I think the targetting system for certain long range missiles uses US geotargeting data and can easily be disabled. Most countries want/use/stockpile US weapons as they are the best and there was exactly zero reasons to think they could be used any way they wanted.
I was thinking âjust sack off the US and bomb the shit out of Russian front linesâ but this is complicated, what if Trump says ânah you canât use those missilesâ or âthose missiles can only be used against Ukraineâ, or some other statement that prevents their use. Could explain why EU has been gingerly treading around. If you start thinking about the possibilities and problems this could create itâs absolutely mental.

This is random.
I just had a day off. Ran some errands, played a bit of Nintendo, went out for coffee etc.
What the fuck does Vlad actually do all day?
He must be constantly housed in some massive bunker somewhere right? Pootling around doing what exactly? What does one of the worlds most evil tyrants actually get up to day to day?

He has a war going on, that would be full time for most leaders but heâs also running a country, spying and hacking other countries while running interference, propaganda and journalist killing on the side. Busy guy.
All while hanging out with his much younger girlfriend that he has hidden away apparently.
Probably refers to his dong as vlad the impaler.
Side note: feeling the urge to rewatch Tomorrow Never Dies. Havenât seen it since I was about 10 but from what I remember the themes seem sort of prescient
Thatâs a child

âThe Russian president says any ceasefire should also âremove the underlying causes of this crisisâ.â is quite a caveat.
I think itâs possibly a very smart move by Zelenskyy, he knows Putin doesnât want peace. He is basically calling Trumps and Putins bluff in-front of the world.
He comes to the peace table, Putin refuses. That leaves a massive headache then for Trump and his Ukraine are really the bad guys narrative.
