Trump is not offering peace in Ukraine

[Atla]

Trump doesn't want to pay for Canadian oil/gas/electricity/minerals/timber etc., he wants to annex it. That's all there is to it imo.

And since he will never, ever “annex” Canada, and Canada will not be “annexed”, your “opinion” is as thin as a (Canadian?) dime and will get you as much at Sobeys …

There must be another tree in such a large forest to bark up …

Word salad - I think you're losing it even more than before

If this is IC not ranting about a public figure (he said he's above such things), what would it be like if he did rant?

Ironically, it's not a rant. You can check the facts for yourself. I welcome it.

And you can check the facts about Trump

How can you avoid it? He's everywhere, these days.

And you think that "agenda" is....what?

...to be King Donald and destroy the Constitution, disallowing all opposition.

And your evidence for this is...?

Are you really so stupid you have to ask!?

Let me anticipate your response since it's something almost everyone here is already used to...

Ah, like I thought, you got nothing!

After 25000 posts you have become so predictable!

Your thinking apparatus is almost as infirm as that of the lying hypocrite, IC from whom you learned so much...as indeed you have.

Yes! He will never annex Canada, but it remains a goal for his farcical presidency, never mind that will never happen! To gain the resources that Canada has is what he lusts after. Being the pathological character he obviously is, that will be on his agenda for as long as that miserable tapeworm remains president, one functionally illiterate who can't even sign his own name! Who would have thought America could sink so low or that the so-called intelligentsia will prove themselves so bereft of intelligence and vote for someone so corrupted which incipient dementia is only making worse!

Not seeing it. You're saying it's somehow obvious Trump wants a kingship? Nope. You'll have to make that case.

Okay then! Replace kingship with dictator. Does that make it any better?

I gotta say, RED MAN DEFIANT is doin' exactly what I hired him to do: takin' a nice hot piss on the heads of all the garbage people, domestic & foreign (yeah, you, you, and especially you).

And if, in the process of emptyin' his bladder, he lines his pockets, grabs a lil poontang, and struts like Emperor Norton: I'm good with that.

I'd still like proof, because right now, he's the democratic choice of the majority of the country. What makes you think he's aiming to become a dictator?

Trump's admiration of dictators is well-known...and you must know it too, whether you admit it or not. He justifies his very overt and attempted transgressions of the Constitution with Napoleon's own justification of making his word law with the pronouncement...

"He who saves his country does not violate any law."

...putting himself above the law of the land. Of course, America didn't need saving before he came to power as much as it needs saving now!

One of the first steps taken to be a dictator is the silencing of opposition as in...

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” the US president wrote on Truth Social.
“Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on [sic] the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

What's more obvious than the fascistic tendencies which completely combine with Trump's character!

It's also understood based, not least, on your own obsessive theist views which has much in common with that mindset, that the following will all be waved away as false and unjustified propaganda against Trump. Nonetheless, I submit it...

Do you seriously believe that with the crescendo of this is not what I voted for getting louder by the day, if an election would take place now, there is no doubt the Dems would have the majority of votes.

Trump, an illiterate, is destroying the country internally while making it into a pathetic laughing-stock externally. Is anyone one here stupid enough to believe that Putin has any real respect for him except as a lapdog he can manipulate?

The argument suggesting Trump’s approach offers "peace" is fundamentally misguided.

First, framing Ukraine’s insistence on regaining internationally recognized territory (Donbas, Crimea) and seeking justice as “revenge” or “hubris” is an intentional distortion. Ukraine's territorial integrity isn’t an arbitrary request; it’s a fundamental principle of international law. To dismiss it as mere stubbornness is ethically indefensible and strategically short-sighted.

Second, the claim that Trump’s "peace" will secure Ukraine’s existence ignores the historical record. Putin has repeatedly broken security guarantees (the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, for example, in which Ukraine surrendered nuclear weapons in exchange for territorial integrity assurances, which Russia violated in 2014 and 2022). If Ukraine accepts Trump's proposal—no NATO membership, no territory regained, and no security guarantees—it's effectively accepting a ticking clock for the next invasion. This isn’t peace; it's appeasement that rewards aggression, signaling to Russia that territorial conquest through force is acceptable.

Third, the assertion that NATO expansion provoked Russia into war overlooks a crucial moral point: sovereign states have the right to seek alliances for their defense. Russia doesn’t hold a legitimate veto power over Ukraine’s right to determine its own future. To concede this would dangerously legitimize imperial aggression as a valid geopolitical tool.

Finally, accusing Zelensky of arrogance or ingratitude for not capitulating ignores a basic moral imperative: a nation under existential threat isn't morally obliged to politely accept conditions that guarantee its vulnerability. Zelensky is not “foolish” for demanding security—he’s doing precisely what any responsible leader must do.

In short, Trump’s offer isn’t peace; it's surrender packaged as pragmatism. Real peace involves meaningful guarantees, respect for sovereignty, and credible deterrents—not false equivalences and concessions to dictatorships.

The US has a trillion dollar trade deficit and China has a trillion dollar trade surplus. This sums up Trump the NPD businessman's total understanding of geopolitics. It's good becaus it has numbers in it and even he knows how to use a calculator. That this doesn't mean that he can just annex allies in order to improve the trade deficit, is a bit above his head.

If it's "well-known," you should be able to produce the evidence. But I'm still not seeing any.

“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests,” the US president wrote on Truth Social.
“Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on [sic] the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Totally reasonable. The behaviour of these so-called "protesters" (really, self-appointed thugs hiding behind masks) has been ghastly, destructive and racist, and has done nobody any good. It should be stopped. In a decent society, it would have been stopped at the first.

That's what all the statistics say. Americans apparently overwhelmingly approve his early policy measures.

I think you've got TDS.

As mentioned, that was already a forgone conclusion. None other was expected, since after so many posts, you're no-longer a challenge to figure out.

For theists and generally, those like you, any fact or probability of fact, relies exclusively on its source and can never exist independently, in effect, its verity as preconditioned by its provenance. If the latter doesn't fit with one's views, disregard it! A decontextualized fact or truth, freestanding, is beyond your ability to absorb or even comprehend. For such to be acknowledged, it must unconditionally be acceptable to your world view.

One example, among very many, would be your vehement insistence on an original mating pair which makes no sense scientifically but is so written in the bible, a source you wholly accept without the least doubt that ALL of it is true. It's therefore impossible to give any credence to anything you say excepting the very occasional bullseye.

In the meantime, that is, during the last six weeks, the historical alliance between the U.S. and the EU have turned quite frosty while the one between the Kremlin and the White House have merged into a veritable reconciliation party with much praise by the Russians for Trump!

As for TDS, it's the perfect acronym, for those symptoms inherent within Trump himself and his misfit league of cultists...of which you are clearly an outstanding member. It can also stand for Total Dissolved Solids which, in context, can also refer to the brain matter of the referred to True Believers.
