Speaking of next year’s US presidential elections and a possible Trump victory, the Ukrainian president said: ‘In a situation like this, you are afraid of changes.’

“He could have done that, but it didn’t happen. Yes, the question probably wasn’t pressing at the time because there was no full-scale invasion.

“But our territories were occupied.”

of course, we all know what Trump did do: he tried to extort Zalenskyy for dirt on Hunter Biden by withholding relief funding that the US Congress had already authorized to send to Ukraine. He was even impeached over it.

    Putin’s behavior is not marxist or communist. He’s a mob boss. A fascist dictator.

    This. I can’t fathom why a community of self-described Marxists would have any love for the man. Marxism is about empowering the working class. The only person Putin empowers is himself.
