talkpolitics"Former President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed the U.S. decision to send top-of-the-line tanks to Ukraine, calling the effort to repel the Russian invasion a “crazy war.”
In the latest criticism of aid to Ukraine, Trump echoed the Russian talking point that sending the Abrams M1 tanks amount to an escalation that could lead to nuclear war."

Not that Trump and Logic could ever coexist in the same sentence, but really. I don't get his logic here, if any? Let's end this crazy war by... I don't know, stopping sending military aid for Ukraine? How does that work? Did he mean we should just let Ukraine roll over and be enslaved by Russia? Is that what he undestands by achieving peace fast? How is he sure appeasing Putin by giving him Ukraine will make him stop from invading other countries?
Just. Does. Not. Compute.
Let's keep in mind Putin is the single individual on the planet whom Trump has never criticized or insulted. Even more, Trump will not allow an accusation or insult to Putin go unanswered. He always defends or deflects when it comes to Putin. It is obvious Putin has something on Trump. The only question is what is it? Actually here's a poll. What do you think is the reason for Trump's stance on this?
a) Putin has something on Trump
b) Trump loves dictators and wishes he could have been one
c) Trump has been experiencing senescence for some time now
d) all of the above

Seems like a silly move by Putin.

Date: 31/1/23 16:04 (UTC)At this point, I don't think there is anything Putin could have on Trump. I'd be shocked and disappointed if there aren't pictures of some Russian hooker peeing on the ex-pres, not if there are. I just think Trump saw himself as similar to Putin, some hyper-masculine leader with an extra helping of decisiveness. I'd also say his foreign policy was much more isolationist than pro-Putin. Yeah, he'd probably not have helped out Ukraine as much, but more because he wouldn't care rather than out of some pro-Putin sentiment.
