In remarks delivered to the General Assembly, Tammy Bruce, U.S. deputy representative to the U.N., said Washington supported calls for a ceasefire but believed the language in the resolution could "distract" from ongoing peace talks.

What language? Oh the part about territorial integrity. No, I totally get it, wishing your ally they get their land back is way too compromising...

What I really don't get is that Trump's handling of the War in Ukraine is his least popular issue, precisely because he's screwing over a country that has been attacked without cause. You'd think he'd relent on his pro-Russia stance, considering how it's costing him approval at home.

Because Trump is a pedophile and Russia has evidence.

Trump is on the Russian side, but It's in their both (Russia's and Trump's) best interest if Trump stays in power, so Russia is pressuring him to do what they want, but not too much.

Remember the Budapest Memorandum ? Yeah, apparently everyone is just choosing to forget that... Utterly shameful.

Just goes to show you shouldn't sacrifice anything for security guarantees from the major powers, unless there is a way to enforce it. Their word is worth the shit you can wipe with it.

Enough gold deposited by signature nations that the guaranteed country can fight a five year war and rebuild itself. If they fail to commit, guaranteed country gets the gold. No limits on defence forces or weaponry. Sound good?

How does Rump say he supports Putin without saying he supports Putin? Why would Rump support one of our historic enemies 🤔? Hmmmmm.....
