Those insults, coming from those people, is a wonderful compliment. I'd be more worried if they had nice things to say.

This shows that Ukraine and Europe should not trust Trump on Ukraine. Trump seems to be siding with Putin. Perhaps they have some type of secret agreement.

I don't feel it's that secret and hasn't been for about 10 years now. Well, I supposed it is to like 40% of the dumbest citizens...

No, it's only Trump who seems to be siding with Putin regarding Ukraine.. The question is why.

Trump is a traitor, and one of his masters is Putin. There may be others too, or at least side hustles.

Perhaps not his master but Trump might be secretly getting something in return from Putin. In exchange for the US limiting its help to Ukraine, Putin might be limiting its aid to Iran and Cuba.

If I was a tragically inept leader that lost a war that I started a few months earlier, I would also not want to appear next to a leader that has maintained through multiple years of war.

Sounds like basalt is either compromised or sucking the super MAGA cool aid that hates Ukraine
