Trump angry with Zelenskyy for defending himself against Russia last year: "You area gambling with world war 3!"

@randahl
It's ok... he's getting the Israeli's to start it off on his behalf.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@schmaker how so?

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@randahl Correct me if I'm wrong, but Iran is suplying Russia, so if Iran gets busy, no more weapons for Russia - they actually may ask for weapons from Russia.

@randahl

Is there nothing he won't do to distract from the Epstein Files?

@randahl @schmaker

Russia has recently been sending weapons to Iran, which is certainly better than attacking Ukraine with them.

Also, it's driving a wedge between Trump and Putin.

Not that that's justifying a war on Iran, but the side effects on Ukraine do seem slightly positive to me.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@schmaker I agree that may have some impact. But while his conflict with Iran may help Ukraine indirectly, his removal of all US weapons support to Ukraine is helping Russia a thousand fold.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@riggbeck no.

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@randahl That's different topic. Someone might correct me, but if we pay, US supply still applies.

And as much as this is more #EU problem than US (which I do not consider an ally anymore) it makes sense to me.

[randahl@mastodon.social]

@mcv one could get the feeling, that the US military brass is deliberately bringing him suggestions they know will make Trump feel all powerful, but at the same time helps destroy his Putin relationship.

@schmaker I respect your point of view.

However in my view, protecting the free world is a shared responsibility. And as soon as the US ends up in a direct conflict with China, Trump will absolutely demand we see that as a shared responsibility too. Just like Bush did with Iraq and Afghanistan.

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@randahl Yeah, no offense in my comments, just saying it might help in matters of Ukraine .. the consequences are yet to be seen..

@riggbeck
He puts his name on everything, so therefore it is renamed the Trump Epstein files.

@randahl

Trump will do anything to avoid the Epstein Files.

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@randahl Trump’s cabinet:
”Let’s put our assets to Israel into harm’s way, and Israel strikes first. That way when Iran retaliates and our guys are hurt, we can justify this.”

Israel: ”Can do!”, and blows up the FUCKING PARLIAMENT in Tehran.

@randahl Print this toot. It will come in handy in the near future to do the "I told you so".
@schmaker

[cejjacobs@mastodon.social]

@randahl that’s not war, but a “special military operation” directed at Iran. It will be over in a matter of days…

Yeah right

[mad@freiburg.social]

@Npars01 @randahl

You mean like attacking Iran.

No, never ever.

Oh, wait.

[vbabka@mastodon.social]

@randahl @schmaker I've read of a direct connection that if USA attacks, they will spend air defense rockets and then nothing will be available to sell (USA doesn't give) to Ukraine.

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@vbabka @randahl Didn't noticed any article like this

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@cejjacobs @randahl Three-day military operation, quick & victorious war, for sure. Trust me bro..
