Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine’s only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

        Then let’s threaten to nuke moscow tomorrow if he doesn’t immediately withdraw.

        We’ll make it a really intense threat too, take all our missiles to defcon 1, deploy all our forces, have squadrons of f-22s and f-35s surrounding Ukraine and obviously tail all their borei.

        “It’s just a threat, bro!”

          Well, yes, every chess player and every really powerful man knows that the threat is stronger than the act.

          Unfortunately, yours cannot be taken seriously.

            Because?

            This is the whole russian ethos, you must give them everything they want, because they don’t care.

            It’s like the idiot who threatens to eat his own shit, and then does it.

            We get that they have less respect for themselves and peace, but we learned a long time ago that giving in to those people doesn’t win peace, only more war, because you’re rewarding their behavior.

            It is an absolutely credible threat that we could wipe out the entire Russian armed forces with a fraction of our power, and they know that.

            You honestly think they pushed so hard to get Trump in power for no reason? We are the only thing holding them back.
