We are also international criminals but we kinda established the courts

He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.

At least trump didn't sell Alaska back to Russia. ..Wait I've been at work all day... Trump didn't sell Alaska back to Russia did he?

If I lived in Alaska, I would worry.
not that i'm aware of. shrug

I think Donald Trump arranged a plan B (place to live) with his buddy Vladimir just in case things don't work out for him in the United States

Zelensky will be the one who needs a place to live if Trump cuts off funding and Donbass becomes 100% Russian. Zelensky can either give it up or fight for it and lose. The soldiers won't be happy, the rest of the population won't be happy. Kyiv will burn... similar scenes to early 2014. I think Ukraine needs a revolution.
- They are fighting for their independence, their freedom, and that's the best cause in the world ... 'wouldn't you?' My question would be, 'Why can't people understand that?'
- Thanks for the hot take Ivan.

My veteran grandfather is ROLLING IN HIS FUCKING GRAVE RIGHT NOW.

Why? Because it always was about Russians, not Communism?
- wdym why? ...
- Run home back to Putin, you fucking paid Russian troll.

A complete disgrace and two fucking felons meeting. If Krasnov meets up with the shitstain Vlad, he should stay in fucking Moscow.

could have ended the war by just arresting Putin, but then Putin would release the Epstein files

The US is not signed to that agreement. As usual they lay the law not follow it.
Arresting him as if he would not have people in place that would only love to show their strength and take his place.
- Well, maybe more than one asshoke needs to be arrested.
- It would have been the funniest thing though. As Putin walks down the stairs and Trump greets him with his blowjob lips ready, he gives him a firm handshake, goes in for a hug, and softly whispers in his ears: "You're under arrest bby".
Arresting, or the next word alphabetically. Both good options.
Andvif the next Russian regime would return the favor....
- Arride him?
- ....the next word alphabetically?
  arret noun ar·ret aˈre, -rā plural -s : a judgment, decision, or decree of a court or sovereign
- You're telling me the next russian regime would then arrest Trump?
  any more good reasons to arrest Putin?
why does trump care, doesn't he have immunity

What else would you expect from a genocidal empire?

Founded on genocide, and for almost a century, has had a fond tradition of invading other countries, whenever said country's political atmosphere was changing against them, or you know, just to blow up a shitload of random brown people.

On their knees for Putin.

American taxpayers pay for the healthcare and education and defense of another internationally wanted war criminal for far far far longer, why is this news?

Because he isnt an american politician and was, up until president pedo, considered an agitator at best, active enemy at worst.

They should be killing him on sight, but instead, they are sucking his dick and thanking him for it!

War criminal visits with child rapist, and everybody is cool with that. What a timeline!

They should be killing him on sight, but instead, they are sucking his dick
I'm a bit tickled at folks on here howling over Putin's visit, when we've had American Presidents kissing the Saudi ring for my entire life without this much fuss. Of course, nobody dares put Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud on an ICC warrant. So I guess there's some difference.
War criminal visits with child rapist, and everybody is cool with that.
The Democrats will say this is the worst thing ever. Then Trump leaves office and we send Pete Buttigieg in. And if anyone dares suggest Mayo Pete kowtowing to Benjamin Netanyahu is uncouth, the NYT and the WaPo will scream about antisemitism for a month.
It's the most normal thing in the world for two countries full of war criminals to collaborate.
Nah, he should be put on trial, and have a judge like one Saddam had - from a village latter once gassed.
What country have you been living in? This happens like every week.

Guys it's okay, it's just his way of thanking him for getting him elected

Ha, you fucking donkeys!

Release the Trump/Epstein files

Why? We all no, and 'facts' dobt convince people who still don't.
Maybe jyst leave both assholes in a room togetger, along with their entourages?

Second pic shows him putting on knee pads.
- Look,donald trump can't suck dick. Maybe in his prime, but it just isn't a thing his body is capable of anymore.
Libs trying not to be homophobic challenge (impossible)
- Homophobia is okay when they're homophobes, it's totally not punching down when libs do it.
  It's like how people will say body shaming is bad and then do it the moment someone fat does something bad.
  They like homophobia when they seem it acceptable.
- The joke is ultimate submission, not 'lol Trump gay'.
- Excuse the ignorance, Im not american, is it not the republicans that generally are unsupportive of lgbtq+ rights?
  Also I dont find it homophobic to say someone sucks dick. In this instance I would see it as a commentary on an eagerness to please or dominance of one over the other.
- And up is down, and down is up. How's the weather in your little fantasy land today, magat?
- Libs would rather downvote than confront their own scuminess.

Should have nuked the plane, you literally knew where he was.

Don't need a nuke. Just a few bullets or a missile. Over an ocean as well. Would have just disappeared off the map

Have people forgotten another wanted criminal getting 50+ standing ovations in Congress not long ago? On a scale of how America honours war criminals, a red carpet in Alaska seems relatively minor in comparison.

You mean yaroslav hunka?

Imagine Hitler getting this treatment from FDR in 1940. I mean this is insane.

This is more like Hitler getting this treatment from Mussolini, though.
Or Saddam in the 90s...
- Or any victim of USA imperialism/genocide.
We got the timeline where Charles Lindberg won.
You mean this guy?

Kneelers be kneeling

Internationally wanted war criminal - mate of Trump. That's the difference.

nazi capitalists gonna do nazi capitalist things.

No no no. We're calling Putin and Trump communists now. Because its the government doing things, so its communism when that happens.
- I'm happy just to call Pootang a cunt, as are the sloppy turds like you who support him and his evil. I know you are a peasant just obeying orders, but that is no excuse.

home of the brave... lol

What did you expect? Usa is pretty much warcriminal heaven

When people talk about the “service” soldiers provide, remember this.

100% they were ordered to do this.
Now, is it on them for joining an organization that can take control of your own actions away? Yes.
But these guys didn't roll out the red carpet because they felt like it. Ain't nobody wanna do that crap.
- Yeah that's why "just following orders" is not just dumb but actually evil.
- Didn’t work in the Nuremberg trials, so why should it matter here. Some people just like licking boots.
  Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. . . . We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody, and somebody else would have done just as well if I hadn’t. . . . I really never gave much thought to whether it was wrong. It just seemed a necessity.
  Rudolf Höss, the commandant at Auschwitz, Nuremberg trials October 1946

The Dems better be using this photo everywhere.

They won't. Too insulting to "the troops". Gotta maintain fashy liberalism.

I want to hear personally what he has to say.

One pathological liar about another pathological liar.

America licks Russian taint. LOL.

Shoot the enemy combatant and hang the traitors.

The carpets only red so the blood doesn't show if someone shoots Putin. Why ruin a perfectly good non red carpet?

Black is usually the better choice for that. It'd dry dark.

Someone should take those 2 cunts out

I'm sure you've heard it before... but, don't insult cunts like that. Cunts have warmth and depth, and bring forth life.
These two are more like black holes, sucking up all they can and distorting the fabric of reality.
Interesting

If Adolf Hitler flew in today They'd send a limouine anyway

— the Clash, (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

Slava Ukraini!

They should have rolled out a blue and yellow rug with sunflower seeds handed to him

Pathetic.

They also put out the red carpet for their own war criminal that let Isreal get away with genocide. They have so much in common! <3

On the plus side: anyone who made a deal with the orange got screwed - ask Elon.

Trump isn't there to make a deal. He's there to receive orders.
- Like he can't communicate with Putin by phone? He's there to show the world that he's Putin's boy toy.

I hope Donny and Pootin won't hurt their ears :)

They'd do the same for Netanyahu for sure.

Did

Pathetic

How else are you gonna feel like a legend in your own mind, having a red carpet would do it?

Absolute shame

Oh boo hoo.
That's probably the most productive thing American soldiers do anyways.

I got a buddy in military who mostly plays video games.

See that sounds more useful.

No one cares! It has nothing to do with boycott.

It does, shit like this is exactly why I'm boycotting US products.

It is a military base. They are not going to let event planners come with their own staff, only the soldiers can do this work.

The calls for murder of Putin and/or Trump are so stupid and emotional reactions. Killing a foreign diplomat is neither easy nor profitable. People really think killing Putin would stop the war, it won’t. It might actually legitimise the war for Russian public. And why kill him while he is on a peace discussion summit? Don’t you want the war to end?

Of course not - Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. Have you not seen that move with the IDF Woman? The only way to end war is to kill everyone you don't like! Peace just means you have to go to war again later to finish the job!
- I literally understood zero of what you said. I am not aware of any of the things you mentioned. I don’t even know if you are being sarcastic

As I'm reading these comments on 'Let's Boycott America because of the ties to Russia," I have to wonder, how many Canadians are still buying from U.S. Amazon?

What does that even have to do with it? Are you saying you can't be halfassed about boycotting? Like either you boycott 100% or not at all? Or is this just some nonsense whataboutism?
- I mean there is no good reason not to boycott Amazon in every way possible.
Amazon is one of the many American things that increasing numbers of Canadians are boycotting.

Lol the big turd that is the USA has no moral to say anything about anyone. You guys killed WAY more people than hitler, dont throw a tantrum over this

that ain't putin. body double

Whoa, the calls for assassination… this isn’t Reddit for sure.

I guess this is an extreme view on Lemmy, but I’d want my country to host pretty much any war criminal for talks on US soil. Kim Jong Un, Netenyahu, terrorist leaders, cartels, Russias even more violent oligarchs, anyone, just like I’d want a president to risk negotiating on their soil, given the opportunity.

Peaceful negotiation without being ambushed is a human right. It’s building a dialogue for very little cost other than pride. If people want to talk, talk.

Of course don’t validate them with repeated nothingburgers, but still.

Now, how the president behaves and what they negotiate is critical here. This is not an excuse to leave licking a killer's boots.

I certainly wouldn't mind having the US host talks between two conflict parties. But just compare the whole thing to the meetings with Zelenskyy. The US has very obviously picked a side and it's honestly disgusting what is happening here.
- Right. Of course.
  But calling for assassination of Putin during an ostensibly diplomatic meeting is, uh, a lot. I guess it’s within the rules of this instance, but still.
There is no negotiating going on, because that would involve Ukraine. This is just two criminals having a secret meeting about what crimes they will do next, and they should both be arrested on the spot.
Killing diplomats or those on diplomatic missions has been beyond the pale for almost every civilization since forever.
A peaceful negotiation would involve Ukraine and Zelensky. This is two evil ghouls strategizing how to inflict more evil on the world.
Imagine all the heads of state who could have killed Hitler if they'd just known he was a bad hombre.

I’m sure they’re partitioning Ukraine, Canada, Greenland, and the arctic as we speak.

100% serious comment, and fuck America. Not just Trump, not just conservatives, America. Even the ones who will reply about their parents fault or nOT AlL oF us, or even those who could name the opposition parties of other countries let alone Russia or Israel.

Ignorant comment. Fuck America, but not from your perspective. It is deplorable, but the people have been cultivated to be ignorant and malleable. It's deeply flawed, but it's system is rigged to beat everyone down and break their collective will.
Those of us who stand up are divided constantly. We're undermined at every turn. We are marginalized for speaking the truth. Our spirits are broken by the weight of ineffectiveness sold to us as Democracy.
American Exceptionalism is taught from birth and is fully unfounded. There was a time decades ago when the national anthem would give me goosebumps, but now I know that was not excitement. It was subconscious fear of something yet to emerge.
You obviously don't live here. This is my personal resounding "fuck you" while completely mirroring your words. You have no inkling of which you speak. What you would have us do is nigh impossible.
Our only hope is that a unifying event will de-polarize our population and unify our resolve.
While we stand divided we shall fall united.
Fuck you.
- It's always saddening to see people regurgitatating the kind of jingoistic rhetoric alt-right parties the world over rely on, as some kind of edgily scathing indictment of just american culture. If an american were to discount everyone from a culture like this, it'd be quite rightly called out as unacceptable. Why is the same behavior somehow acceptable just because it's perceived as turnabout? Doesn't that paint them as identical in rhetoric, but somehow even more bitter in motivation? Just disappointing...
Fuck all of us, if we could be better we would be
I am serious then. That’s what I am sure they are doing. It’s in the ~~dna~~(bad rhetorical form; These people give up their humanity by choice.) of these people to do that; look at what zionists and britain did to Palestine.
- Biological determinism is Nazi shit
"I don't like genocide so I want to advocate for genociding an entire country made up of a significant amount of refugees"
Bro what
- There is no advocting for genocide in that comment. "Fuck you" isn't genocide.
Then I guess we ought to just block you if none of us are good in your eyes.
