In his speech declaring victory in the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 6, Donald Trump made no mention of Ukraine yet alluded to just how consequential his second term in office will likely be for the country ravaged by Russia’s invasion.
. . .
How does Trump plan to stop Russia’s war against Ukraine?
That’s the million-dollar question that is undoubtedly being discussed in capitals worldwide, not least in Kyiv and Moscow.
He doesn’t have a plan. 🤣
Jesus people, it’s just campaign pillow talk. He has no fucking clue what to do.
I’m sure he has a peace plan.
The plan is for Putin to take a big peace of Europe and call it Russian territory.
No real plan, submit to russian demands.
Was about to say ask the Russians what they need and give it to them.
There are concepts of a plan
Signing off on russians demands in not a plan.
He doesn’t. He’s going to pull back and let Russia do their genocide thing. It’s why he blocked Ukraine aid before this started, too.
Same for Gaza, and probably Taiwan as well.
On the other hand, I could see him throwing a massive fit about Taiwan because “Chi-nah” and starting a war.
Nah his buddy Leon has interests there, he will flop over and let china do what they want
“Sure, I knew that voting for Trump meant more and worse genocides including on American soil, but I expected it from him. Seeing a genocide under Kamala Harris’s tenure as not-president made me worry she wouldn’t actually help once she became president. And then I’d be disappointed. Why would I want to possibly be disappointed when I can instead experience horrors that meet expectations?”
- Probably a couple million people who shot their foot with their own cut-off nose as ammunition
😂😅 so true
Where are all the gEnOcIdErS now?
Oh, they were just shills…
it wouldn’t end there.
No. But other people’s suffering has never mattered to him.
Never mattered to the Democrats either. No matter who has been in power America’s geopolitical ambitions are all that mattered. To Trump, he is the only thing that matters.
Trump’s vision is so myopic that he can’t see beyond his own nose. Same for is ability to care. If the US reneges on promises made as detailed in the Budapest Memorandum what chance will they have in other such promises. Countries are watching. This is doubly ironic as Trump keeps talking about nuclear war.
While this is true, with the US, their geopolitical ambitions have sometimes aligned with positive developments (Germany, Japan, the Baltic nations and Poland in relatively more recent times). The same cannot be said for say Russia or China.
The same cannot be said for say Russia or China.
How so? Russia doesn’t really have global ambitions anymore, but China is invested in seeing a larger global middle class and a weaker Western neocolonial hold over Africa. This can and has lead to positive developments.

China’s engagment in Africa is just as neocolonial as Western engagement if not more
How so?
China is building infrastructure, creating jobs and giving African nations the tools they need to develop thus creating wealth. What does China get out of it? Markets - a place to sell the products the make. That is quite a bit different from the western policy of enriching despots, plundering mineral wealth and leaving the countries to fester and rot.
Huh? Okay you’ll need to provide some evidence if you’re saying it’s anything as neocolonial as what France is doing to these countries.
That’s very cynical but not entirely wrong.
We will almost certainly see more bad news in context of global democracy and rise authoritarianism/plutocracy. Unfortunately, it seems that the US is entering a permanent oligarch-fueled “bread and circuses” phase (Big Macs and iPhones for the modern equivalent?).
He plans on ending it by ending Ukraine.
I don’t even think it’s that deep. Same thing happened in 2016. “I know how to end the war in the middle east, i know more than the secret service.”
And americans shake their fat fists, “yeah, i know more than the secret service too, and i know how to end the middle east conflict. We have so much in common”
It’s definitely at least that deep. Russia didn’t go into overdrive trying to elect him because they think he’s going to be tougher on them than Biden.
