The move would align his administration with Vladimir Putin’s position.

    God, I wish this guy would have a massive coronary heart attack already. His health is awful, and as we all know, the worse you are, the longer you live. It’s like some kind of physical law.

      And get Vance instead? If that’s not an insurance then I don’t know what is haha.

        Vance doesn’t have the cult of personality, no one has it. If Vance takes over, it suddenly becomes OK to criticize his actions, and everything/everyone attached to him.

        MAGA should be frothing at the mouth over Musk, but he’s Trump’s golden boy. Take Trump away, out come the pitchforks.

        We just need Trump, Vance, and Musk to all get in a fatal airplane crash together. Nothing of value would be lost.

          Don’t need a plane, just have them carpool in cybertruck long enough and the law of averages will handle the rest.

          Mike Johnson is next in line don’t forget. They got the royal flush of fuckwads and as he told Zalinsky we ain’t holding any cards. At least in that sense.

          I would say an airplane can have quite some value. Maybe they can just fall out the door of it during flight? Without a parachute of course.

        How can he be worse? Trumps health is so bad he’s just doing whatever people tell him. He is not functionally in charge right now anyway.

          Trump has whims but Vance has plans which is way worse. Trump being incredibly incompetent is a saving grace in all of this mess. Imagine that US elected a professional autocrat like Orban - they’d be stuck in this for decades.

      I’m fairly sure they are speaking of recognising territory belonging to a certain country. For example, US doesn’t recognise Palestine while plenty of the world does. Trump as a president can definitely shape US foreign policy like that.

      [edit] I just realised the next step is Google Maps displaying that Crimea belongs to Russia for everyone regardless of location because that’s how US rolls these days lol.

    He recognises that big body of water as The Gulf of America. That doesn’t make it so. Same applies here.

    No pero No.

    “A push by the US to formally recognize Crimea — which Russia invaded and illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014 — as Russian land would likely draw tremendous pushback from Europe as well as from Kyiv, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly resisted territorial concessions. The US, Ukraine, and much of the international community have recognized Crimea as Ukrainian, despite Russia’s occupation of the peninsula.”
