Mr. Zelenskyy, please show a different set of plans to Trump. He is a traitor to the US democracy, to its government, to its people, and countries in NATO.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Why should he talk with Trump? He is an ordinary civilian.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

for disinformation. if he shows a different plan to trump, it will end up in russia and cause confusion

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

But the only reason anyone would show plans to Trump would be to get them in front of putin, so they would be assumed to be misinformation.

Maybe he should show trump the real plans..a bit of reverse psychology maybe ?

Actually he's a convicted felon

"It may sound too ambitious for some, but it is an important plan for us," he added, saying that he would also show the plan to both US presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

This doesn't answer my question.

In the current situation, Trump has no influence on decision-making in regard to Ukraine. Until he is possibly elected president, he is just an unnecessary security risk.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Trump would spill the plan to Putin. He's already handed over documents regarding the US agents working in and around Russia, several of who "mysteriously" got caught not long after. He's definitely a security risk.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Neither does your response answer my question.

I asked why Zelenskyy SHOULD talk to Trump, not for reasons against it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Okay, I'll answer. He shouldn't talk to Trump.

Not sure why you're so fixated on getting an answer to that question, but I hope that helps.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

This just shows how Trump completely destroyed normal politics. It does make sense for a country in Ukraines situation to talk to both parties and to get both parties on board. Then the plan could move along regardless of who wins the election in Nov. This would have been possible in the past, with George W. Bush, Obama, Clinton & all other presidents and was actually done for other conflicts and topics in the past. Trump... is special.

To hedge his bets. He can't let the future of Ukraine be entirely decided by a US election that's out of his control.

Yanks secretly want a monarchy thats why the still refer to people no longer in office by their title. Trump could get security briefings but it is apparently not happening at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

33% do. The rest of us just want the government to do it's job and protect us from foreign adversaries, corporations who want to poison us, and billionaires who want to go back to the feudal age.

Unfortunately that 33% has way more pull thanks to the outdated electoral college and are unfathomably stupid thanks to lead pipes and Republicans actively sabotaging the educational system.

They could just save themselves the trouble and mail them straight to Moscow.

Trump is gonna run off and tell his buddy Putin

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Don't worry, they'll dumb it down so Trump can fit it in his tiny little mind, I'm sure, so the end leak of intelligence to Putin will be: "Ukraine says they're going to BIGLY WIN! WOW! Very few people know that!"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"You give me big go booms. I go boom the bad guys you hate. Major winning happens. You take all credit. 'Very smart and brave of Trump to give Ukraine all those go booms.' Everyone says so"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I go boom the bad guys you hate.

But that precludes using the booms on Russians, whose jackboots Trump adores.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's why Zelensky must, under no circumstances, go into any kind of specifics with Trump. Just make it about how great and cool it will make Trump look

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Trump: "Which bad guys??"

Ukrainian ambassador, having recently learning the Dumbass dialect of American English: "The BIGGEST bad guys! The ones you hate more than anything! And you won't even have to worry about them, because we'll do it real quiet and secret!"

Trump: "WOW"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder if Ukraine expects that, and feeds Trump misinformation to trick Putin?
