Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

The fact that he did in that statement do the very thing he was found guilty of here (inflating the value of his assets, specifically Mar-a-Lago) should tell people that he dictated it.
Wasn't he overvalued for loans and under valuing for tax?....If he's now adamant about the over inflated values TAXman should be happy
 

I don't remember his contributions clearly but I didn't think he was a Trump supporter.

It's not a question of supporting Trump, it's a question of the alternative. Biden is obviously unfit for office. His condition has allowed the likes of Nuland to seize control of US foreign policy, and they've been trying to provoke Russia into war since 2014. They couldn't do it when Trump was in office, and they won't be able to continue doing it if he's re-elected. So Trump's re-election is the only viable way to stop the war, and stopping the war is the most urgent task facing us today.

How is Trump's re-election going to pursuade Putin to withdraw from Ukraine?
 
Trump will negotiate with Putin, as he's often said. The most likely result will be that Russia keeps Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia. That's the best deal Ukraine can get now afaics.

Yeah, that doesn't end the war. Ukraine doesn't agree to that. And I strongly suspect that the distance you can see is severely truncated by a lack of any decent knowledge.

so you are saying Trump is a terrible negotiator?

They'll have no choice if the West cuts off aid, which will happen if Trump cuts a deal.

It's a variation on an idea that's been posited by various people tbf. The one I've seen put forward is that, in return, what remains of Ukraine joins NATO.

What's the realistic alternative to this kind of negotiation? The war isn't ending any time soon. Estimates put the number of dead around the 200,000 mark already. Do they slug it out until they reach seven figures?

Not that I see Trump as the saviour here.

Then who do you see as the saviour? Believe me, if I saw anyone more likely to end the war I'd vote for them.

Putin won't accept NATO membership for Ukraine, or not without some serious reverses on the battlefield. Does the West have the appetite to hand him those reverses? I'd say "yes" if Biden is President, and "no" if Trump is. And I know which I'd prefer.

Eastward expansion of NATO happened 2009. Russia didn't cite it at the time of either invasion.

US has been pushing Europe to spend more on defense for decades. EU is actually sending more money to Ukraine than US. US wants to stop sending kit it would give EUropean defense contractors scope for work in the downturn

NATO membership isn't the red line for Putin; EU membership is.
 
A liar, a rapist, a crook, a racist, an antisemite, a man who's responsible for the deaths of millions by playing down COVID, wants rid of socialism, a conspiracy theorist, would be nuker of hurricanes, leader of insurrectionists, advocate of violence.

And still cultists and trolls think he's the right person for the job.

It depends on how the war is going. If it goes against Russia badly enough, Putin will have to cross a few of his own red lines. The one he won't ever cross is Crimea, he'll go nuclear before he gives that up.

The USA is deeply divided over the war. What's really strange is that the division is the precise reverse of the equivalent during the Vietnam war. The working-class opposes the war in Ukraine, while the bourgeoisie supports it. And the only Congresspeople to oppose it are a clique of allegedly "far-right" Republicans; the liberal Democrats are all gung-ho.

You probably shouldn't post on the topic if that's your takeaway from this.
 
appeasement to Russia is you plan Mr Chamberlain

whilst letting a guy who fully embraced the far right take control of America again

ok
UK was on the shite end of Trump/Pompeo Afghan deal. I don't think anyone on rearguard fired a shot til JRRF got there (and thanks to the Germans for coming back).


Not sure Ukraine would play out the same way
 
I can't understand why everyone compares this situation to WW2. The analogy really doesn't hold up at all. Could it be because that's the only bit of history they know?
Iirc Russias second slice of Ukraine was about stopping Nazis. First slice to me seemed quite a bit like Sudatenland/ Czech
