    Attacking a sovereign nation because you want to own them is what anyone else would do? That’s kind of fucking terrifying from my Canadian p perspective.

      Trump isn’t referring to the invasion itself, but Russia attacking now that US decreased its support.

      He’s not wrong here, was anyone expecting Russia to go “Welp, now that the US isn’t sharing intelligence with Ukraine, we better surrender”.

      Then again, maybe they’ll do better now that the US isn’t telling them to use NATO tactics or lower their draft age again.

        He didn’t say that. He said anybody would act like Russia.

        He’s still got it wrong. He always gets it wrong.

          Is the first sentence of the article incorrect?

          President Donald Trump expressed understanding Friday for Russia’s stepped-up attacks on Ukraine after the White House halted military and intelligence aid

            Is it relevant??? And, no, the summary sounds like bullshit with a coat of gold paint.

            But, seriously - who the fuck cares what specific words are included in an article summary?? It makes no difference.

              Yes, it makes a difference if Trump was saying anybody would “act like Russia”, whatever that means vs anybody would continue attacks after Ukraine’s main supporter pulls back.
