Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.

      I just hope that he will follow through with quickly finishing the war in Ukraine.

      Yeah, that’s a monkey paw wish. His “ending the war in Ukraine” almost certainly means giving Putin whatever he wants.

        Even if you are right (I don’t think so), so what?

        How is this worse then what is hapenning now (to Ukrainians)?

        Inb4 probably some delusiomal fantasies about how Putin is gonna invade the whole world, etc. :/

          I recall they said the same about Hilter. It was called appeasement. Don’t accept bullies demands. Period.

            Then go sign up for foreign legion and go make sure Putin loses. Don’t make Ukrainians die instead of you for your wild fantasies.

              Make them die? They can surrender themselves right? As long as they want to fight I see no reason not to supply them with the means to usurp the oppressers.
