US President-elect Donald Trump has campaigned on a promise to end America's involvement in wars.

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Ukraine would lose the war if the U.S., its primary military supporter, cuts funding.

Speaking to Fox News, he stressed the importance of unity between the U.S. and Ukraine as Russia accelerates its territorial gains.

Zelensky acknowledged Ukraine’s challenges on the battlefield, despite new U.S. weapon supplies, including long-range missiles and anti-personnel land mines.

He criticized German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for engaging with Putin, calling it a risky move.

Trump has pledged to end the war quickly but offered no specifics.

    so hear me out.

    • Biden baits Russia into attacking US personnel
    • Declares a national emergency which stalls the incoming administration
    • Ramps up war with Russia and declares war on Putin
    • Hands the reigns over to Kamala due to failing health
    • Trump is never allowed office because he’ll die choking on a hamburder

    I think that could happen in 30 days.

    Now if only Joe wasn’t spineless…

      I mean all offense when I say this that is a stupid idea and you should be ashamed to have even thought of it. Essentially saying Biden should get some American soldiers killed so he can prevent trump from taking office.

      You can’t claim trump is a fascist and also suggest using fascism as a weapon to prevent fascism.

      Dunno how a state of emergency would stall the transition of power. That’s happening no matter what. On time. Period.

        by declaring a state of emergency it gives the executive branch unfettered powers to maintain the stability of the country. this includes skipping elections and changes to the administration and other branches of government.

        this is especially true in times of war where maintaining the status-quo maintains progression of winning a war abroad.

        It’s within his powers, but would tear the country apart.

          No. It very much is not in his powers.

          Biden’s term ends at noon in 2 months. He can’t just declare that it doesn’t. If he could, Trump would have done that in 2021 instead of trying to overturn the election.

          That’s because there wasn’t any law against it at that time. Now we’ve got the 22nd amendment.
