    If you’re in a warzone and someone asks your opinion of Donald Trump and the GOP you’re legally allowed to shoot them.

      “Hi there, Tim from the Unimportant Bullshit Times. Can you, unnamed Ukrainian solider who’s actively fighting a war against Russia, tell me what you dislike about the 45th US President, Donald J. Trump?”

      It’s like US Defaultism at its highest - they literally went to a country at war to ask the soldiers fighting what they think about a foreign president. Genuinely surprised some even answered because I would not give a flying fuck if I was a non-US soldier fighting for my land.

    But a Republican president might not be catastrophic for the Ukrainian war effort. Lucas Webber, cofounder of the Militant Wire research network, concurred. “It is unlikely, even if Trump truly means what he says, that he would be able to shift America’s Ukraine policy in any meaningful way,” Webber told The New Republic over email. “The U.S. political elite and security establishment consensus on Ukraine will leave Trump very little room to maneuver, as seen during his first term. Moreover, it is also highly improbable that either Ukraine or Russia would accept anything remotely resembling the territorial status quo on the battlefield.”

    This guy is a fucking idiot.
