Russia literally started it when they invaded the first time. Trump would lose his mind if we lost even the tip of Florida to mexico... Seems inane to me, don't make shit up that's obviously a lie. Tell it like it is he thinks "Ukraine would be better under a united Russian federation." That's it. That's what Putin wants. For a tiny man Putin sure has swung a big metal dick around. Genuinely wonder what would happen now that he's old, if one of the younger, stronger, physically better, nation leaders wooped his ass in a meeting, like, tazed him, took any poison you know the bastard is carrying. Let him recover. Then woop the ever loving piss out of the ol vinegar bucket. Make him cry uncle and don't stop until he does. Sure he's a little man with a little sensitive ego, who would start a war for such an encroachment, but what would happen if you just kept woopin until he pleaded, and swore no wars would take place? I bet he would keep to his word if you brought him to tears, he's never been wooped like that really, no scars to show like John McCain had from actually being hurt, and Putin's had spy training so at least some level of training against torture, so crying would likely be about the point you shatter his rotator cuff in an arm bar while belittling him for being so weak... But if not you just start grabbing parts of his body and bending it the wrong direction until the job is done, he claims "he's old and fell down the stairs" like Mitch McConnel keeps doing, and the public moves on. I'm just sayins all, he's an old constipated bitch, your belly shouldnt distend like that if you aren't fat, and you definitely don't have abs if your belly distends like that... So poop. Half his weight in pure, backed up, shit. I bet most teenagers could probably take him in a fair fight. Maybe if the poverty rate in Russia wasn't so high he could have gotten Ukraine to rejoin on their own for the merits it included, but looks to me like Russia wanted the mineral rights that trump tried to trade for.
