So a murderous psychopathic dictator..... ....who fixes elections (Putin "won" his 2024 election with 88% of the vote) and/or murders political opposition...... .....allegedly accepts NATO-like, Article 5 security protections for Ukraine.... 1/

Deterrence only works if Putin believes the other countries will actually respond with force if he invades Ukraine again. They didn't last time, so .....
Remember trump has his own imperialist ambitions. He cannot condemn putin for acts trump has every intention of taking at some point in the not distant future. He’s insane. His enablers are not. They need the door open for Greenland. Maybe, maybe not, but open & useful rationalization in inventory.
You're completely correct. Russia has a history of breaking their agreements. Putin might stop attacking Ukraine, but once his army is back to strength he will move forward with his plans for an "empire". The only way to stop him is to face him with military force. Слава Україні 🇺🇦 Fuck Putin.
....and promises to pass laws that will prohibit Russia from "violating any European country's sovereignty"..... ....in exchange for Ukrainian territory that it acquired by committing war crimes, mass murder, mass rape, mass torture, mass child kidnapping, and attempted genocide? 2/
Remember, Putin invaded Ukraine in violation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum where Ukraine agreed to give up nuclear weapons in exchange for security agreement from US, UK........AND RUSSIA.
So.....now the world is expected to believe that: 1. Putin will be satisfied with Trump's appeasement/concession of Ukrainian territory... (Reminder: Narcissism/Psychopathy is insatiable)? 3/
So.....now the world is expected to believe that: 2. Putin.....a psychopath who has no respect for human life.....let alone the rule of law......will honor any "law" passed by Russia that restrains his insatiable appetite? 4/
So.....now the world is expected to believe that: 3. Putin will honor/respect any international agreement when he already violated the international agreement that promised Ukraine security for giving up nuclear weapons? 5/
So.....now the world is expected to believe that: 4. A U.S.-led agreement that promises security for Ukraine at the potential expense of U.S. treasure...and maybe blood (boots on the ground).... 6/
....can be trusted when the leader of the U.S. is a morally bankrupt sociopathic narcissist who lies like he breathes, and is incapable of being trusted to put the interests of others (Ukraine) ahead of his own......even if he "promises" to do so? 7/
Remember, Trump generally only cares about the "appearance" of something.....he doesn't care about the actual execution/implementation. That will likely be the case here, especially if he's already won the Nobel Peace Prize: 8/ bsky.app/profile/nick...
The only thing trump only cares about is that a deal…any deal…..gets done. Similar to the 2020 election and the “Big Lie”, Trump, the Republican Congressmen, and the Right Wing Media Echo Chamber “will take of the rest”. 9/
This is because regardless of how bad of a deal it is, Trump and the MAGA media will gaslight the country to create the perception that it is a “beautiful” deal. 9/
Nah. He didn’t.
Isn’t that adorable?!
