    Altered headline to change what Putin has said. Rule 1 violation. This should be removed.

    Kushner: “Yes, Vladimir, we have so much in common! Both our countries have wars we shouldn’t have started that we have no idea how to get out of!”

    If it’s so difficult in Ukraine, why not get out of Ukraine?

    Jared Kushner meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss international conflict. Yet another entry in a miles long list of unqualified people performing some of our nations most important tasks. But clearly, DEI was the problem with our government’s competency, not nepotism and thinly veiled blatant corruption. Not to say that the latter haven’t always been problems.

      He’s a special envoy for peace. What qualifies him for that still alludes me (being married to the president’s daughter aside).

      Also I found it funny that one of the special envoy positions is named: Special Presidential Envoy for American Tourism, Exceptionalism, and Values

        He’s son of a rich criminal with long ties to the Likud Party who is a personal friend of Netanyahu. He’s probably Trump’s handler for the Israelis, or is at least attempting to be.

    It’s so nuts. There’s absolutely no way the benefits outweigh the losses trying to fight Ukraine at this point.

      For Russia, surely, but admitting defeat would be dangerous personally for Putin. Putin cares about Putin, and possibly for some made-up image of Russia in his head, not for the russian people.

      Russia has Ukraine exactly where it wanted it to be - in constant and perpetual turmoil so it can’t advance to NATO and/or the European Union.

    I’m convinced that the US is going to ally itself with Russia and attack Europe or support Russia to attack Europe. Everything they say about Europe and do seems to paint us as the enemy. Though I think it’s the kind of move that will end the US.

      You are assuming these clowns are in some why strategic. They are grifters and pedos who only seeks instant gratification. They are selling the USA to our enemies. That’s it.

        Because Russia and Israel literally bribe or blackmail people in power in the US to control them. And since they can and do and Russia see Europe and an enemy to be conquered it’s precisely why the US probably will, especially under the orange cunt who some ungodly reason really loves dictators. They grift and the roll over for whoever pays or has dirt on them.

      We are clearly full throttle collapse but I don’t see how a blatant move like that could happen.

      The powerless electorate would definitely oppose any such action.

      Unsure if that would make a difference as we’ve gone full stop authoritarian. Fuck the US and this administration. Goddamnit.

        A sufficient Reichstag fire could do it. I can’t imagine how you’d pin a terror attack in the US on Ukraine, but with enough spin it’s possible.

        The nordstream pipeline explosion has been blamed on Ukraine. Maybe if they did something overseas, like an attack on Ramstein air base. Remember the Maine?

          I love that movie. We don’t know the politics of it, just that a civil war has happened, and it sucks for everyone, and bring out the worst.

          Sadly though, I have a hard time imagining USA actually getting out of their current position without one.
