Next US Congress elections are scheduled for November 3, 2026. Fat chance he's going to risk losing the GOP majority... if there even is a Congress by that time.
I don’t think a Trump stooge should be listened to about Ukrainian law.
Ukrainian law does not allow presidential elections to be held when martial law is in effect.
Just trying to set the stage for ousting Zelenskyy and getting a Russian puppet installed.
Correct. That was the subtext of me posting this, but I guess it would have been good to state it overtly.
Lmao, he realizes he can’t just end the war because it’s not his to end, so he wants there to be some way for him to manipulate who’s in charge.
Ukraine can just say “no, we’re not violating our own laws because you want us to, you can stop supporting us if you don’t approve, but see how that goes over for you domestically.”
What gives Trump the right to say this?
Nothing, but he realizes he’s in a bind where one of his big backers wants the war over and he can’t force that outcome, he can end US support but that won’t end the war, just make it bloodier, and loose him domestic support.
