    I wanted to point out something about what Trump said during that meeting…

    “You’re in a bad position right now. You don’t have the cards.”

    My understanding is that Ukraine did have the cards, they were called nukes, but they gave them up for peace and guarantees of protection from the United States, and others, against invasion.

    And then, they got invaded.

    Twice.

    Edit2: Always pay attention to what the other hand is doing.

      The other hand just released that trumps name shows up 7 times in Eppstein’s flight logs.

      No, not a joke, it was released today by trumps own minions.

      Trump, like every arogant POS has overestimated his strength. Europe can and will enter the conflict as Russia has proven itself to be an existential threat. NATO is dead, but EU has been planning for this. I wouldn’t be surprised if UKR already has or will obtain a nuke and put on a show of force . Nuking Russian troops on its own territory would be fine- and provide ground denial to the Russians.

        Somebody better tell them. In the meanwhile, their twin sibling, OTAN, will take over.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if UKR already has or will obtain a nuke

        I’d think they would have stopped their war by now if so.

        Nuking Russian troops on its own territory would be fine

        I’m sure Mr. Radiation will cooperate and not float over any innocent cities, and will stay inside of the political borders where the bomb went off.

        I’m also sure that nobody would consider retaliating over something like that, as it would be taken as just a minor misunderstanding.

        And yes, /s .
