Summary
Days before the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians find unity threatened not just by Russia but also shifting U.S. support.
Donald Trump’s false labeling of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator” has provoked fierce backlash, even from Zelenskyy’s critics, who now rally around him.
With ongoing Russian attacks and Ukrainian forces stretched thin, Trump’s suggestion of a swift end to hostilities raises fears of concessions favoring Russia.
Officials argue that elections amid war would undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Many vow to continue resisting, regardless of major foreign policy changes.
Donnie really thinks that people look at him in awe and wonder.
I mean I do not understand it but there are a lot of people that absolutely do. A shockingly high number.
I’m in Texas (Dallas) and i don’t really see those people. Most of the Republicans i know love George Bush but when you mention Greg Abbott or Trump they just shake their heads. It’s the rural areas.

Rural Pennsylvania here. If the orange Jim Jones started a Kool-Aid line his folks here would fight to be first in line.
I’m in Massachusetts and can report much the same here. Outside the cities, there’s plenty of MAGA maniacs. You could see “Trump 2020” flags still up all throughout Biden’s term in spots.
And these people consistently vote.
That’s the thing that people on the Left need to understand.
Voting matters.
The MAGoos vote in every election.
Until the Left makes voting a priority the MAGoos will always have the advantage.
Yeah, but that might be because Trump panders to the ideologically radical part of their base and promises a vision of the US that is different than how it looks like. I sincerely think he represents hope for change to those people, however fucked up that is.
You guys need a leftist Trump, not the mentally disabled part, but the “actually fights for an ideology and vision” part. Like pack the courts, make Republicans fight in the courts to strike down unconstitutional orders for socialized healthcare, appoint an AG that puts people like Trump in prison, or just well… do something.
Other world leaders should really start to ignore the guy and respond to his blabbering with “if I wanted your opinion, I’d ask Putin.”
Zelensky is the best person to be in the position he has, all things considered. Seems like a stand-up guy, and not a career politician that you’re gonna worry has other motives in mind.
A true man of the people.
“Slava Ukraini!”
Fuck Trump and MAGA. I am beyond disappointed in my country.
Seems like a stand-up guy
I mean, duh, he used to be a comedian!
I’ll see myself out now…
Go move to Ukraine lol
No. You go to Ukraine—and make sure you wear your MAGA hat.
Nah, imma stay in the country whose leader I voted for lol
Nazis fuck off
Not a nazi. Just a honest hardworking man haha
Since foreign interests wield all the power in Washington anyway, can we get Zelenskyy as president?
Does Trump realise the whole world just thought what an obvious lying Cunt.
Slava Ukraini from America. Fuck Trump.
There is a similar thing happening with Trudeau in Canada (with lower stakes perhaps). His popularity in 2024 was abysmal, but Trump being elected and coming after him as revived his legacy.
Fuck Trump, fuck Putin. We stand with Ukraine.
Ukrainian friends, as an American I’m sorry this has happened, sorry both for my country and for yours. It may be a small consolation as our new regime withdraws aid, but remember that most Americans are still on your side as we have been throughout the war.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !
Zelenskyy is one of the greatest nation leaders I have witnessed in my lifetime.
GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!
With love,
some Lakota dude from Washington State USA
I’m worried that this will soon lead to a US invasion into Ukraine, using Russian talking points. The military is already beheaded to avoid any opposition
How many countries can this guy invade at a time? Greenland, Canada, Panama, South Africa, Ukraine… the list is so long I’m sure I’m missing somebody.
The US military is powerful but even they have their limits. With Cheeto now firing the tip brass and lowering it’s budget immensely, expect the US armed forces to be extremely reduced in strength to the point where it won’t be able to wage any war anywhere let alone multiple countries
Wait, South Africa? Did I miss something? I know about all the other ones, but what is his beef with SA? Did Musk complain about something?
They want to steal the land of black people. They called for an uprise of white people over there.
Wtf. How I hate muzzle velocity politics. Put those guys in camps, they are a threat to public safety.
Invasion? Only uninvited like the ruskies are doing an Invasion.
Besides, peace keepers on Ukrainian non-Russian borders like Belarus would free up Ukrainian units.
Isn’t it pretty standard to postpone elections in wartime?
But the US had elections during WW2 and they where in exact same position as Ukraine is now!
Edit: Was that really THAT hard to detect the sarcasm? I guess humor is really dead.
Were they? Wich part of the US was ocupied exaclty? Apart from some atols in the middle of nowhere?
I’m 99. 9% confident they were being sarcastic.
Thank you, you’re one of the four that found it funny / understood that it was a joke.
USA is completely solidifying itself as the entire world’s enemy.
Yeah, the only people who aren’t united against Trump are Americans.
Yeah, the only people who aren’t united against Trump are Americans.
The 70 million people who voted against him aren’t against him…?
Keyword being “united”.
A 50/50 split on two candidates is literally as divided as it’s possible to be.
I don’t know any country that runs an election in wartime, on top of the thought that Russia could easily manipulate those elections from outside to further destabilize the country.
America had elections in 1944. It has no exception in its Constitution for war.
fuck russia. fuck the american people as they had a vote.
American here. Fuck the people who voted for Trump, didn’t vote at all, and anyone involved in the huge spike of voter suppression. We were sold out through misinformation and inference.
so those running away to avoid conscription are coming back? /s
you might even find fucked up news like russian and ukrainian ganging up together and doing illegal online scamming, while based in Phuket region.
in reality, it’s no so black and white. and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.
and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.
Unironically saying this as online reaction such as this, absent of any evidence or being on the ground themselves.
Fleeing from conscription is common across all wars, no matter how just. Russia has massive problems with people fleeing. Anyways, that’s not really what the article was discussing.
It actually is pretty black-and-white in terms of who is fighting a just war, and who is fighting a war more akin to Hitler’s invasion of Poland.
Out of all the conflicts in the world, Ukraine is the simplest, most black and white one there is. It’s one country invading another, and quite openly stating they want the other country to do as they say, or else.
Ukraine didn’t attack Russia. There are no Ukrainian terrorist cells bombing places within Russian borders. There are none of the things in this conflict that wouid make it complicated.
It’s one country invading another.
So ask yourself; do you condone unprovoked invasions?
