So much for "they'll be in Kyiv in two weeks" that I heard from naysayers three and a half years ago.

How many days are we in in his 3-day-war anyway?

Trump: "People go into war, think they're gonna win the war, then they get their asses kicked & they lose their country and lose millions of lives. Nobody goes into a war thinking they're gonna lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were gonna win. You're gonna beat somebody that's 15 times your size"

Back to blaming Ukraine for being invaded, Lol. Ukraine didn't go to war, Russia brought war to them.

At least with Biden, the US stance didn't hurt my brain. Trump's comments are about as smart as Russia's, except with Russia you know it's because they're trying to spin things in their favour. With Trump, it's either that or simply stupid. This seems more like an attempt to spin things, but if I try to understand how Trump is thinking... he might just be stupid.

It's both. He is incredibly stupid, but he's practically besties with Putin. 

You mean he thinks he is. I have a hard time believing Putin actually has anything but contempt for Trump (obviously besides seeing him as a particularly useful idiot).

After clash in the Oval Office, Vance called Zaluzhnyi (ex-Commander in Chief) seeking for an alternative to the Zelensky, but Zaluzhyni refused to speak. Vance wanted a coup to replace Zelensky.

Vance and trump...........Even though vance can be very eloquent and well spoken, he can sometimes reason like a child and think that he'll get whatever he wants.

Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries have some Russian regions running on empty
