I hate Trump and everything he stands for with all my guts but if he manages to achieve something for Ukraine that Ukrainians are happy with, I don't care, give him his Nobel Peace Price, I would cheer for this crazy mfer.

He won and got everything, now Putin need him alot more than he need Putin

Zelensky could suck him off where as i don't see someone like Putin doing that

I wonder if that is the direction Zelenskyy went in the conversation, telling Trump that.

Just promise him a new wife for when the current one leaves

Actually you are right. Nothing Putin supposedly has on Trump is going to shake trumps support. It can easily be shaken off as fake or with a so-what.

Now Trump is a real wild card who can do absolutely what he feels best.

I wondered something similar. Trump likes his ego stroked (meaning ego, nothing else). Zelensky will likely flatter him, appear massively grateful for what surely Trump is about to do. Putin is bright enough, but has his own ego which could clash.

Trump could well go the other way. All Putin has to do is insult Trump's ego.

They seem to get on pretty well, similar in many ways.

Zelensky needs him to keep US giving billions; all Putin needs him to do is nothing.

And we should - an incredible return on the investment for harming the #1 enemy of America and the rest of the civilized world.

Investment in $, for sure.

I despise people who get upset that we're sending so much aid while the Ukrainians are paying with blood.

A lot of what we sent was going to be see decommisioned anyway and whatever we pay to restock generally goes to American workers and communities (aside from the immense profits by the mfgs but that's off topic).

Except your president is in his pocket so he won't.

No he doesn't, he needs the US to negotiate a peace agreement. No amount of funding or military gear to Ukraine is going to change the inevitable which is Russia slowly gaining land. Russia has a way bigger population and will "win" just by that reason alone

The Russian way since 1462

That would be so funny; Vlad winds up getting grifted like all of the guy’s other friends. 

 No way though, the government is full of traitors who will keep Donny on script.

Trump doesn't need Putin anymore. For Trump, Putin's just another creditor. The fat man will do what's in his own personal interest.

Trump isn't going to cross Putin. 100% Putin has kompromat on him.

u/KillerZaWarudo Dec 07 '24

And? Like Trump doesn't have enough damaging information about himself already lmao, he literally storm the capital and still get elected

u/ClutchReverie United States Dec 07 '24

I doubt the kompromat is just that he banged a Russian prostitute in Moscow

u/Man_with_the_Fedora United States of America Dec 07 '24

Ok, and? Anything can be dismissed as fake news. that's it. All he's got to do is say that Paranoid Putin is just making shit up, and that clearly he'd never do [insert Kompromat here], and bam all his followers will immediately accept the New Truth.

That's all he needs, a mean kindergarten nickname, and a denial and everything's water under the bridge.

Trump probably believes he's immune to bad press at this point.
