Putin according to Trump: Why do you force me to keep slaughtering your civilians?

In exactly the same way it's not Trump's fault when he sexually assault women. And grab them by the pussy because he thinks he's allowed to do that because he is famous.

Not only is it absolutely Putin's fault, it's also Putin's fault all alone. Nobody pressured him into it, on the contrary everybody tried to work with Putin to find a solution. Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and illegal, and he and Russia are committing war crimes routinely, and Putin is an internationally wanted man because of it.

Americans that vote Republican make me sick.

The sad thing is the average Russian probably doesn't care if Russia has a warm water port and almost certainly doesn't want to get conscripted to go star in a Ukranian drone snuff film. Nevertheless, that's where they are, and I don't foresee anything changing meaningfully.

No, I’m pretty sure he thinks it’s their fault for being beautiful. And there. And what was she wearing?

I mean Miss Teen USA are there to be looked at, so how is it my fault for looking at them?

The game with Cluster B is that nothing is ever their fault. Nothing. Reality will almost always be twisted back on the recipient such that they made him do the thing, not that he’s guilty of the thing.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

And what was she wearing?

That's the main trigger

Some get so triggered, that they force women to cover their complete body in public.

Trump along with countless politicians, rich people, and influential people COMPLETELY DRANK THE KOOL-AID and Americans are out there swaying to November Rain.

It’s fucking embarrassing but that doesn’t really express the fear that y’all are going to throw it all away because other countries are using your stupidity against you.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

As much as I get the KOOL-AID reference, I call it orange juice..

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Obgligatory it was actually flavor aid.

Sorry, the compulsion was just too strong... 🙂

Edit: I see that extra g. I'm leaving it.

This is so frustrating. This is “normal” logic for a Cluster B personality disorder. He’s being exactly what he is, Cluster B personality disorder, of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder variety.

Cluster B are deeply, and I mean deeply, sick individuals. It’s not uncommon to engage teen Borderlines in a residency program (where you essentially live in a place to receive daily therapy to help quell the dives into alternative realities, and, in their case, the self harm that often results from it), as one example. Intense therapy, which can really help, but you have to get the help.

Cluster B takes years of therapeutic work, as well as decades of therapeutic maintenance.

Trump? I don’t think he’s ever gotten help. Cluster B is the guy who says things like this. I don’t want to hurt you, but you’re making me hurt you, this is you, it’s all you, not me, you, you’re very sick. It’s not unusual, it’s expected. Expected. And yet he has a following instead of being ghosted when I’m pretty sure ghosting was originally invented, well before the inception of social media, in response to Cluster B.

No, of course. Ukraine just invaded itself. And Russia just happens to defend themselves on Ukrainian territory.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Remember though folks. There are folks here that will have you believe there’s only one genocide happening right now- and the only reason they take issue with that one is because it can be used to influence an election.

If America were supplying arms per an agreement to Palestine, they wouldn’t care- by the example of Ukraine , and they’d have created some other reason to vote third party. (See 2016 and 2020)

Make no mistake.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 6 hours ago

Two, two genocide. They will tell you one is perpetrated by Israel, and another one is perpetrated by Ukraine
