Yeah...I assume we all saw Trump and Vance knocking around Zelensky and going on about how he needs to be more "grateful" for support? Yeah. If I were zelensky, I'd be tempted to tell Trump to F off to his face. Of course, you cant really do that because trump is in the position to make zelensky's life miserable, but that's also why trump is being a little crap in the first place. He's trying to knock zelensky around and bully him. it's disgusting. As Vaush said in his recent segment on it, for most of us liberals in the real world, we see helping Zelensky as a moral obligation. It isn't about power. it's about standing up for a democracy being threatened by a petty hitleresque dictator. For Trump, these reaction are transactional. "What's in it for me?" "I want rare earth minerals." Like, he's treating this like it's a game of civ. You know how the real ###hole civs will be like "I want all of these raw materials and half your cities or no peace?" Yeah.
Look, again, soft power. We rule by soft power. This is something trump doesnt understand. Because he's too fricking stupid. We had it all. We basically control the world. We get anything we want. We dont rule through outright force. We leverage relationships and soft power. Trump is throwing that away. Oh my god this guy is so fricking stupid, I can't stand it. Trump is throwing America's privileged place in the world away because he's too stupid to understand how real power works. He's making us weaker, more isolated. He's making us the bad guy. It's better for people to go along with you because you got each others' backs and have similar values than to do this show of force bullcrap.
Theodore Roosevelt said back in his day, "speak softly and carry a big stick." Trump speaks loudly and just swings the big stick at everything. He's a moron. That's his understanding of things. He's dumb. He's literally dumb. He's literally an embarrassment to the US and western values. Then again the dude doesnt really believe in western values, so...yeah.
Helping Ukraine makes a stronger world for America and western democracy to survive and thrive. It's simple. We help Ukraine, we help ourselves. We don't, we weaken ourselves in the world. We embolden russia, and we threaten the global world order led by us, because we clearly can't, or won't, protect other countries who are aligned with us. Like really, do people not understand this? We cant be isolationist in the 21st century. yes, im not saying we have to be in every conflict ever. Heck, i dont even support putting OUR troops into this conflict. All we need to do is give them guns, and let them do it themselves, that's ALL we have to do. Why is this so hard?
I hate this administration. It's a joke. Im rewatching this in the other window and I'm watching the part where JD vance starts doing his BS routine. Ugh. I despite these people. F this administration. Senile guy was better than this. LITERALLY. Give me senile guy back.
