    I am a random person on the internet

    Trump’s Ukraine betrayal will have terrible consequences.

      Not for him, though. It sucks that the kings of today - and Trump, at this point, can definitely be referred to as such - will probably not face any consequences for their actions. Throughout history, it has always taken a few generations for their empires to come crashing down.

    Gaddafi, Diem, Batista, Arafat, Noriega, Suharto, Hussein, Mubarak. You could open a fucking museum of leaders who made the mistake of trusting the US.

    Like Kissinger said: to be an enemy of America is dangerous but to be America’s friend is fatal.

    As an American, I’m dying to see trump face the consequences of his actions, but not at the expense of Ukraine.

      I hate to be the bear with bad news but if he hasn’t faced any yet I am struggling to see it happening at all.

        The government isn’t going to make him face consequences.
        The justice system isn’t going to make him face consequences.

        The only people left to do it are the people of the United States. And I haven’t seen any of them doing anything.

        At this point he isn’t going to face any consequences.

      He won’t. Ever.

      The best we can hope for is his shit diet to catch up with him quickly and for JD fucking Vance to be more sane.

      We’re fucked.

    Wait! He’s working out a deal with Congo to prevent the 48h pandemic from reaching the US!.. Here we go! All flights to be canceled! C’mon baby!

    This just in, Trump demand gold, diamonds and really hot virgins from Congo. In exchange the virus came from Gina bigly. And large black plastic bags, which is not racist by the way.

      If you haven’t heard, a bunch of kids in Congo ate bats (WTF man!) And then died within 48hr of getting sick. Not a pandemic, doesn’t transmit thru the air, go back to sleep.

      The Kurds were also betrayed by 45 / 47. As were the Afghan people. It’s almost like he’s helping our adversaries with his foreign policy. Nooo, surely this is fine.

    Opinion: I’m a IT worker, and trade unionist. USA interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs has had terrible consequences.

        At least from 2014: the maidans revolution and the subsequent civil war between the new government and the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.

            His grudge against Ukraine likely originates from this incident - Zelensky not bending to his will, and the Ukraine scandal blowing up in his face.

            Maybe but more so, he’s doing what Putin tells him to.

            Trump got his first impeachment proceedings as a result. As we know, he wasn’t impeached.

            Small point of clarification: he was impeached, but the Senate refused to remove him from office.
