The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[The Grand Nudger]

I’d bet the Russian people weren’t spineless in the beginning.

Not much a shotgun can do against tanks and rockets and starvation.

There's an old joke that if the Soviet Union had had two Communist Parties then the communists would still be in power. Every few years the Blue Commies would change places with the Red Commies, and each party could aim their hate at the other, while the real power stayed the same. 

Larry Fink said a few days before the election that it didn't matter whether Trump or Harris won -- his shareholders would be well taken care of. Those are the people that the US government works for. 

Now that BlackRock and Vanguard are assured of getting all the profits from Ukraine's natural resources, the purpose of that war has been accomplished, and there's no reason to keep it going.

Jesus christ you're thick.  If the war is on so that blackrock and vanguard can get all of the profits from ukraines natural resources....then it has to keep going until russia gets off of ukraines natural resources.

..........................?

In mere reality, the war continues because russia doesn't know how to stop killing ukrainians. They unpersoned them, their entire remaining economy is built around slaughtering them, they've been ritually murdering officials for the sin of harming that aim.
