Seeing as he is not in a cult and/or have tDS like our MAGA crowd, from what I've seen, he is fully capable of independent thought.
Trump/Zelensky deal turns into Jerry Springer episode

Funny hypothetical, because at this point it seems that the US is the most likely one to attack us. Is that what you meant when you said they'd intervene?
Hell, let's turn this war up a notch. If Putin can't stand the heat, get out of the Ukraine.So it's not really about ending a war.
It's just the price tag.
Let the missiles fly!
They wouldn't vote for Harris and the world is stuck with trump.And Muslim-American voters in Michigan.
The chief one being a lot of their soldiers died fighting and they were having manpower issues.
That's been repeatedly debunked as a Kremlin talking point. Fact is that Z spend zero $ on himself and most of the US money was spent in the US on sending American equipment to Ukraine.
Do you also remember that trump was impeached the first time for trying to blackmail Zelensky?
I presume you won't do two shows a night.Trump calls them "raw earth" minerals.
This clown thinks the Periodic Table" is where women have to sit when they are on the rag, and thereby enduring he doesn't grab those ones by the pussy.
What makes you think that Russias only way to get at Canada is directly from the west? It looks to be the easiest directionally but less easy militarily by coming from a more northeastward route.
Do you think things out before you post? You've had some very curious ones today.
Recruitment and Manpower are different equations.
It's a roll of the dice to think Putin won't conscript more troops.
Dice you don't have my friend?
What evidence do you have that supports your claims?
And please don't revert to your usual endless barrage of video clips and links to obscure news sources.
I think that's what I said.
Via Greenland on the Risk Board was sarcastic humor, but there was some truth to it.
They're not running out of manpower per se. But the equation is far more complicated.
1. They cannot institute conscription without destabilizing the regime and imperiling the only guy who really counts in Russia. He doesn't want to end up in a shallow grave at the side of a road in Siberia and so he avoids doing stuff that would annoy too many of his subjects.
2. To make troops effective, they must be trained and motivated. Conscripts are neither. At this point, Russia is doing human wave attacks with massive artillery prep and security forces with machine guns "encouraging" the conscripts to charge "valiantly". This nets Russia marginal gains every few weeks, but nothing major. Whether this remains viable, remains to be seen. When those artillery pieces wear out, then it's human wave attacks without artillery prep.....
3. There is less and less equipment to give to the shitty untrained troops.
So the Russian army is increasingly ineffective and there is probably no solution for this.
Phil, its pretty much guaranteed at this point. The only reason it won't is if a real war breaks out.
You actually believe no money has been siphoned off during this war by corrupt politicians?
He can.
Look at the list of GDP's you just wrote. And try and think about it for a second or two. I know that's difficult for you.
It was because his manpower decreased suddenly and swiftly that he had to recruit prisoners, North Koreans, Africans.
The GDP of EU is 20T. 10 times that of Russia.
I think EU can very well support Ukraine and hold its own against Russia.
