He claims Trump would act immediately upon winning the election, before taking office. Which sounds legally dubious, but not that that’s ever stopped Trump…

    Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.

      I’m not seeing any reference to Trump being honest in the article.

      It’s fairly trivial for the US president to end the conflict. Stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and send them to Russia instead, and it’d be over in a week. This is something I fully believe Trump could do.

        That would not bring peace though. Russia would just start with the next country/countries.

          Most likely, as a condition of the “peace”. Russia would promise not to invade anywhere for a few years to make Trump look good…

            So when did russia not break any promise they gave? They already promised to not invade Ukraine!

            It’s just bs.

          This is exactly what these people mean when they say “peace”

    Ok, but the world isn’t looking for the kind of peace Trump would broker.

    What the world wants is for Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

    My downstairs neighbour is super right wing, told me he is as far right as you can go, full on conservative voter in the UK.

    The other day he told me Trump is the only one that is going to be able to save the world and under his rule, the Russia Ukraine war would have never happened.

    Told him Trump is in bed with Russia and would have just allowed them to take over, he said no and Trump siding with Russia would benefit the entire world’s economy.

    Straight face said this to me, man has brain-rot.

      I would have asked how does a country start a war invading itself, not really expecting anything intelligent response, but let’s him know real fast I think he’s insane, hopefully. Then actually treat him like a snot-noise kid, brushing him off.

          Before Orban and his cronies took over, Hungary was on an upwards trajectory in terms of rule of law, personal liberties. In fact Orban himself started politics with a pretty progressive programm. Guess he got bought out along the way though and like the cash a little bit too much.
