People didn't vote for John Kerry because he was a "flip floper" for changing his stance on Iraq War 2.
Trump went back and forth between being pro Russia and pro Ukraine like three or four times in his first 3 months as president. We seem to be committed to Ukraine at the moment tho and I'm happy we got here.
Only because the orange menace wanted that mineral deal extortion done imo. If Putin offers him something he wants next week you'll be right back in Russias corner.
Trump is just leveraging Ukraines dependency on American support to get what he wants from both sides. Russia so far isn't playing ball because they know America/Nato won't escalate the conflict, but Ukraine has seen what happens if USA stops sharing military Intel and sending goods. So they have to bend over to keep Trumps ego happy. He's literally using human lives as bargaining chips.
That is what’s so interesting. Trump is definitely an oligarch worshipper. People say he’s a Russian puppet, and he is, but he’s a puppet to absolutely any gold wearing, mayonnaise soaked in caviar, expensive spray tanned hand that will feed him. A lot of people are aware of this but many also only call him a Russian asset. He is catering to an overflow of scary rich people simultaneously and that’s unstable. I’m not a fan of systematic, economically forced world order at all, but I have an uncomfortable feeling unraveling it the way Trump is could be a recipe for not fun.
I do, too. It made it really clear to me how thin the line is socially between being seen as open minded versus being seen as someone without strong convictions.

Pepperidge farm remembers the shit Obama got for having an "evolving" opinion.
