    That’s why I’m so confused about the lukewarm support. From a purely capitalist lens, Ukraine could have been exploited to hell and back once Russia was BTFOd. But now they’re looking at a decades long demining operation which is gonna hurt the exploitation effort bottom line billionaires pockets uhhhhh something.

      We were pretty much onboard with helping Ukraine, and were providing intelligence and selling them arms.

      But Trump is totally a Russian asset, or was at the time. (Russia spent a lot of resources and manpower on Trump’s 2016 campaign.) Nowadays, Trump might be catching on that Putin has absolutely no respect for him.
