So, how do you think elections will go in the Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine?


There are a lot of Russians in those areas left over from Stalin's Russification campaign after 5 or 6 million Ukrainians were murdered or starved to death.

Russia doesn't have to accept any of them. They have all of the leverage


Except they can’t quit fighting and dying without a total victory or Ukraine and all of its allies agreeing to peace.

Ukrsine does have leverage if Trump doesn’t pull the plug and Europe doesn’t follow suit.

I think Trump's movement towards appeasement of Putin and restarting diplomatic relations with Russia is going to be too much for some Republicans... at least those in the Senate who don't feel as vulnerable to MAGA at the voting polls.

Like Sen.Roger Wicker, Armed Forces Chairman...

I'd be embarrassed if I posted 60+ a day everyday since you have joined (almost 10K posts) and was not getting paid. So either you are getting paid or the majority of your awake time is posting political shite on message boards which is frankly sad and pathetic.

It's their country and the non-Russians there have seriously deep seated animosity for Moscow and Putin. Like most countries, they greatly prefer their independence.

Can't help it. I'm amused by the delusion. Just wish I could personally witness the downcast visages of some of you simps when the inevitable occurs.

'Massive demolition site' — Trump claims Ukraine in ruins while pressing Zelensky to hold elections

by Abbey Fenbert February 19, 2025 12:44 AM

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 18 that he believes Ukraine should hold new elections, as the country has become a "massive demolition site" under President Volodymyr Zelensky's wartime leadership.

Trump's comments come after U.S. and Russian officials earlier in the day met in Saudi Arabia — without Ukraine — to discuss strategies for ending the full-scale war.

Ukraine should hold elections because Zelensky holds a "4% approval rating," Trump alleged without evidence while speaking to reporters on Feb. 18.

Recent polling from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology shows that as of December 2024, 52% of Ukrainians trust Zelensky.

The Kremlin has pushed the narrative that Zelensky is an illegitimate leader in its propaganda to discredit the Ukrainian government. The false claim is based on the premise that Zelensky's first term in office was originally meant to end on May 20, 2024.

Under the Ukrainian consitution, elections cannot be held during martial law, which went into effect after Russia launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Trump distanced himself from the Russian narrative, claiming that it was his personal opinion that Ukraine should hold elections.

"That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming from me," he said.

Trump went on to describe the destruction of Ukraine in exaggerated terms, falsely claiming that the majority of its cities had been "blown to smithereens."

"I don't know how anybody even lives there," he said.

Instead of condemning Russia for launching daily attacks against Ukraine for nearly three years, Trump appeared to lay the blame in part on Zelensky's government.

"You have leadership now that's allowed the war to go on," he said.

Trump can't help himself... he's just confirmed what European leaders suspected. So, now they all have to think about if they were in Ukraine's shoes?

Incorrect. Trump blamed Zelenky and Ukraine for starting the War. This is just Russia defending itself.
