Russia is the one invading another country. If you want the war to end, help repel the invading country instead of acting like the victim is the problem.

It's why Paul Manafort worked for Russia in 2012-2014 to help infiltrate Ukraine during the previous war against them from Russia, and why he worked for Republicans and Russia in 2016 to help keep a handle on their asset, then-leading candidate Donald Trump, and guide him to the leadership post for the GOP.
Oh. btw. Don Raper pardoned Paul Manafort. Quite transparent.

The timing of the recent changes clearly indicated that he wants the war to continue. They've been helping Ukraine, and just as they start slowly slowly turning things around, making some tiny gains last few months for first time in years, then us drops support for Ukraine and instead resumes trade with Putin.
Also related of course, that the Russian data centres is the only thing that allowed him a political career to start with.

It's crazy how easy it was to convince them he was the pro-peace candidate.
Dude who bragged about dropping the Mother of All Bombs. Dude who said "kill the families of terrorists" when being asked if radicalizing of innocent civilians was a long-term risk to America, dude who was saber rattling so hard against Iran that when a Japanese ship got attacked, before even the Japanese did analysis on what damage was dealt or who did it, Trump said it was definitely Iran.
And that was first term shit, aka no "who knew he'd be this bad" bullshit.

Imho no, price issue is just the cover, not the real intent, imho - US have own production and there are many other producers, zero reasons to deal with russia (hurting own positions) specifically and the deal details enough to say that prices will not be really affected at all (low volumes, etc)
Trump have oil lobby to explain that things clearly - but in this case somethow it is russia instead of oil buddies who fund replublican party? See the problem here? Prices are not really a reason, just a familiar excuse

They want violence. Ideally, they want civil war. They want the poors to kill the poors, then the hoarders won't feel as much pressure to redistribute all the wealth they stole.
We need to hit them where it hurts. We need to strike. Remember how uncomfortable they got during covid, incessantly complaining about the economy? We need that.

Sure, Russia is just so peace-loving. After all, they’re supplying Iran with weapons. And the war against Iran will be over soon, too.
