The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[Thumpalumpacus]

Oh, and speaking of which:

KHMELNYTSKI, Ukraine (AP) — Russian officials and state media took a triumphant tone Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump jettisoned three years of U.S. policy and announced he would likely meet soon with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate a peace deal in the almost three-year war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday he will not accept any agreements about Ukraine that do not include his country in talks.

Trump’s change of tack seemed to identify Putin as the only player that matters in ending the fighting and looked set to sideline Zelenskyy, as well as European governments, in any peace negotiations. The Ukrainian leader recently described that prospect as “very dangerous.”

I submit that our correspondent in Japan wishes to appear both unbiased and diplomatically informed even as he shills Russian propaganda some more.

It's almost as if he's unaware of the Munich Agreement. Locking a country out of discussions over its own fate sends a clear message to aggressors that it's open season. What peace in our time will Trump, folding to Kremlin demands, sate -- and more importantly, what Kremlin desires will remain unsated, and will Trump kowtow to those too?

@Belaqua, drop that studying-philosophy horseshit and get to reading history. It's much more applicable to the real world.
