Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on the U.S. to provide more funding to help his forces counter Russia, and invited former U.S. President Donald Trump to fly in to see the scale of the conflict for himself.

      From the article:

      “If he can come here, I will need … 24 minutes to explain to President Trump that he can’t manage this war,” Zelenskiy said. “He can’t bring peace because of Putin.”

      Sounds like he’s saying it’s out of Trump’s depth

        That might be the case, but I think Trump supporters will see the invitation as international recognition.

          Article was definitely written to appear that way. I remembered a different article that had this Zelensky comment as the headline, but they do technically call it out in their article. A lot of people only read the headline after all. ಠ_ಠ

    It might be crazy but considering it’s the maggots that are trying to block aid, it might work.

    Uh the fuck?

    Ignoring every reason that Trump is an idiot d****** and impotent, inviting the former president is an illogical way to persuade the current president to offer more aid, and will probably disincline Biden to help him.

    When the US is already offering aid almost weekly.

    Seems like a bad move

        Unlikely, that would be ineffective.

        “Hey, look, I invited the loser to make you…jealous”?

        Of what, Biden already has so much greater acclaim and has achieved so much more than baby hands, how is that a troll?
