    So it took that dumb fuck 9 months to realize that Putin’s the bad guy, Ukraine isn’t to blame for being invaded and that Western support could win this war?

    Imagine how many lives would have been saved if he’d just listened to every goddamn adult in the previous administration.

      You’re operating under the assumption that Trump’s changed his mind.

      When it is far more likely that he’s recently just read that on a slip of paper (and probably misunderstood it), so it’s just the crap on the top of the stack of crap in his mind and it pops off first.

        Some poor bastard had to setup a presentation designed to keep 4 yr olds paying attention and adapt it to trump’s narcissist. "Sir, Ukraine is getting stronger, getting more money, and WILL win. Russia is low rent, weak and broke. LOSERS! Back Ukraine and you will not only WIN bigly, but will be known forever as the man who singlehandedly ended this war and saved Europe.

      Putin’s made it clear that Trump doesn’t call the shots in their relationship. Trump’s ego can’t handle that, so now Putin is his enemy. We’ve been seeing Trump slowly figure this out over the course of the year, starting from him saying he could end the war in, what did he say, a week? He clearly wasn’t let in on the invasion plan, either because he can’t keep his mouth shut or because Putin thought the war would be over before the election.

      Of course, with how senile he’s becoming and his probable recent stroke, it’s unclear if this will stick or he’ll forget about it in a day or two.
