      I’d be an obvious act of war. Republicans and most average Americans would feel justified in joining with Russia to rip Ukraine in half in retaliation. Even Europe would be hesitant to defend Ukraine because we had all just seen the Ukrainian president (fatally?) assault the king of america on live television.

      However, within the country I think if any national level democratic politician was serious about the threat posed by trump they should use their political position to get access to him and then tackle him and start punching. Obviously they’d go jail. Obviously there’d be a national scandal. But the dude is old a hard fall would kill him. In the long run, it’d do way more good than holding up a “this isn’t normal” index card.

      I still wish he got hit with that bullet. I haven’t given up on forcing history to comply with my wishes.

    This is beautiful. Also terrifying that this is the world we live in with AI, and it’s only getting better. We already live in a post-truth world, but refined AI will lead to absolute chaos. Everything will be shoved off as AI whether it’s real or not.

      Why does this not continue the sentence with “to death, on sight, anytime, anywhere”. They’re really just walking violence targets, nothing more.

    Some polls say that Americans think Z overstepped in the negotiations. Seems like he was just using his right to free speech.

    Hypothetically speaking… say this happened, what are the legal ramifications. Zelensky is should have diplomatic immunity, right? Does he have body guards there to hold of the SS? How does this play out?

    That would have been sweet, but diaper boy would have handed Ukraine to russia or whatever his endgame is.

      He’s already doing that. US stopped all aid to Ukraine (even though it’s probably not legal for him to decide that), and is planning on lifting sanctions against Russia.

        There are two possible outcomes: either Europe takes over Ukraine’s defense successfully, or they can’t.

        If they can’t, then what the US really did is the exact opposite of giving Ukraine to Russia: it made Russia pay a million lives for it.

      I think the more pressing problem would be that SS would arrest Zelensky on the spot, if not put a 9mm hole in his head.
