Trump is willing to sacrifice Alaska and Ukraine just so people aren’t focused on Trump being a fucking pedophile.

    They keep saying these things are a distraction. From what? Not like the american public is doing anything notably effective otherwise.

      Lol, he’s offering Russia part of Ukraine AND America now, while buying right into Russia’s propaganda that Alaska should belong to Russia too?

      Even though we could literally kick Russia out whenever we wanted with adequate military aid.

      What a weak little bitch.

      There is genuinely a world where “Why do you keep going to war? Fear of a lack of resources? Let’s make a deal to prioritize some paid contracts to you so that we can create an economic dependence and have a bigger lever the next time you are a dumb shit” is the outcome and… that would be a genuinely beautiful outcome and a long term solution to putin. Yes, it is rewarding “bad behavior”. But anything short of a full military occupation AND continued occupation (rather than leaving a puppet regime to get taken out by insurrection five minutes after we leave) is just kicking the can down the road.

      But this is trump and he has never found a business he couldn’t bankrupt. So just give strong daddy putin the state that sort of limits his actions and all the resources in exchange for… turning Ukraine into Gaza.

    Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he’s giving up America’s?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?

      Shipping/ocean-going routes, yes. He was.

      He just wants to make sure all the world’s resources are being exploited by someone—he doesn’t care who.

    Okay. I’ve seen links to this a few times now…

    Didn’t we buy Alaska from Russia? (Yes we did)

    This is either the weirdest case of buyer’s remorse, or yet another ginned up controversy.

    So, that means Putin has copies of the Epstein Papers and recordings to blackmail Trump with? It’s ALL about the Epstein Papers.

    Maybe he wants Russia’s help taking over Canada. You know, get them to play bad cop so Trump can play good cop offering protection, for a price.

    It’s a nice country you’ve got there; it’d be a shame if it were invaded by those Russians at the border…

    OK so… Not that its stopped him before, but can he legally do this? Is this within the powers of the presidency?

    What is with this article? I’ve read previous pravda UA articles that were good, but this one just seems like something an LLM spat out after being asked to summarize the cited Telegraph article. There is no additional context offered, everything is in this list-like/chopped up format, and the last subheading (“conclusion” I presume) seems to have been left in Ukrainian or Russian (I can’t read either). At least one quote wasn’t even properly attributed to anyone. My guess then is that it’s just a direct copy-paste of an LLM response. I hope this is just a single “journalist” not doing their job rather than a trend at the outlet.
