    Trump won’t accept a single word of it because it wasn’t his idea. He’s a giant manbaby who will refuse even the slightest of help, regardless of how reasonable it is, simply because his ego is too big.

    I’m just curious about when exactly the EU, UK, and Canadian leadership are going to finally understand and admit that everything Trump is going to do around Ukraine is going to be in bad faith. He’s apparently prepping to announce today that he’s going to be cutting off aid altogether.

    This plays 2 ways. The talking Cheeto claims this is exactly what he planned and is a victory. Don’t forget how smart he is.

    The other, he keeps screaming that he is the only option for peace. Complains that this will never work, etc. cause he isn’t involved. All while funneling as many weapons as he can to Israel for his sea side resort project.

      If Europe dramatically increases spending on NATO would he be wrong?

      I don’t like the guy, but objectively speaking how would you rebut the results, its some Dr Manhattan level quackery.

        Sure. Europe spending more in NATO is great. But at the cost of pissing off our allies by showing how untrustworthy we are and how we handle diplomacy, aligning ourselves with Russia a little more and being an embarrassment to the world. So, guess it depends on which sports team you root for.

    UK, European leaders and… UK, European leaders and…

    … and Canada. We had no default reason to be included in the talks so thank you kindly for being welcoming to us!

      You’re invited because of Trumps rhetoric about annexing you, solidarity against aggressors.

    I can’t see the orange shirt gibbon endorsing anything he hasn’t come up with himself. I guess they will be working extra hard to make him think it was his idea.

      Sorry, my phone autocorrected “shit gibbon” to “shirt gibbon”. Apologies to anyone who was offended by the reduced insult.

      For whatever fucking lunatic reason he seems to view Starmier as a good buddy and he’s still enamored with Macron.

      yeah it’s almost counter productive because Trump is so thin-skinned and desperate to be seen as coming up with every idea. If they can convince him that it was really his idea though, it might work.
