After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.” When the people living in Moscow, and all of the Great Cities, Towns, and Districts all throughout Russia, find out what is really going on with this War, the fact that it’s almost impossible for them to get Gasoline through the long lines that are being formed, and all of the other things that are taking place in their War Economy, where most of their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that! Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!

DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation

This has the same vives as somebody who just saw a Netflix documentary about string theory and then goes to reddit to claim is an expert.

The main difference, this is an easy topic that everybody knows, but have been dragging their feet for years.

This presidential decree was brought to you by the letter Chat GPT.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago

I can only facepalm at this.

Not because I think what's written is entirely wrong, quite the contrary. I think Ukraine has a very good chance of winning in their current conflict.

What makes me facepalm is that this is posted now.

Whenever I see Trump taking, his mind wanders just like my late father's did when he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago

Trump is the dumbest American America (and the world) has ever seen.

After getting to know and fully understand?! This is this guy's SECOND term.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Jfc, he’s finally got around to ‘getting to know the situation’

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who could have guessed geopolitics is harder than first grade math?

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you implying that Trump passed first grade?

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

With 120%. Best student that teacher ever met! Everyone is saying so.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Man, Woman, Camera, TV, Giraffe.

Aw yeah baby. All aces!

[–] kevin@programming.dev 21 points 1 day ago

Don't worry, he still doesn't know what's going on. Somebody just told him that Ukraine is doing well and he wants to be on the winning side.

He barely fully understands a cheeseburger... He still doesn't know jack shit about this.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

Not that it matters, he changes opinions every week. With people like him, only the actions matter, it’s exhausting and unproductive to try to make sense of their ramblings

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Just give him enough time for putin to give him a blowy and he'll forget again

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Somebody else obviously wrote this. There is proper punctuation, well except for the run on sentences.

"someone" *ai.

The whitehouse stenographer sweatin as they try to understand wtf this guy is saying.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Definitely not him, so I don’t know what to expect from the dementia addled rapist sociopath, but hey - he’s on the right side somehow (presuming this is real) so yay?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

“I wish both countries well” yeah ok that sounds like him

“We’re giving weapons to NATO and they can decide what to do with them. Good luck!”

Such an incompetent unqualified administration. Like we got bought by a holding company.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The European side of NATO is more than capable of organising itself. The financial support is what we need.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 11 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Europeans can't even organize an embargo

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Even if goods are sold through a proxy, that still exerts economic pressure, because you are adding a middleman and extra paperwork. Maybe europeans could have done a beter job with the embargo, but you also have to consider that if Russia really wants to acquire some commodity, there is not really a way to stop them from getting it if they have the money, proxies and means to get it. An embargo can only make that more difficult.

Nice figure btw

$80 million dollars worth? It's a tiny amount

What's wrong with Kyrgyzstan

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Exports to Kyrgyzstan shot up after Russia invaded Ukraine. Not because there's an economic miracle in Kyrgyzstan, but because they're smuggling the goods to Russia (is the implication at least).

[–] Tuuktuuk@mastodontti.fi 2 points 19 hours ago

@ChairmanMeow @Flax_vert

I cannot understand why nothing is done about this. The problem is, when they say at the Finnish border "this product is going to Kyrgyzstan", but it actually stays in the Russia, it has earlier not been Finland's problem but one of the Russia – it means that the customs fees for the Russia have not been paid and the product lands there anyway.

Now it's different but we still behave like we did in 1996 and 2003 and 2021.

Why?

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Next week he'll demand the Nobel price for liberating Ukraine and defeating Russia.

Edit: He'll demand it again

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 4 points 1 hour ago

Honestly if that is what it takes to make the US enable Ukraine to kick Russia out of Ukraine then I am willing to make that sacrifice. Everyone will know, that it's not really a worthy noble price.

[–] ruuster13@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

Nobel price is the Freudian slip of the moment.

[–] Apollo98@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I seriously thought he already did this. I hate this timeline.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh, indeed. The resident AI made a list so we can all weep.

September 2019, at UN with Pakistan PM Imran Khan — “I think I’ll get a Nobel prize for a lot of things if they gave it out fairly, which they don’t.” (time.com)

Late 2019 — Before meeting Imran Khan, said: “I’d get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things …” (news.sky.com)

January 2020 — “I’m going to tell you about the Nobel Peace Prize … I made a deal … and I just heard that … the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize …” (news.sky.com)

Rally in Detroit (2024) — “If I were named Obama I would have had the Nobel Prize given to me in 10 seconds.” (news.sky.com)

February 2025, meeting with Netanyahu — “They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.” (news.sky.com)

June 2025, on Truth Social — He listed multiple peace claims and said “I deserve it … but they would never give it to me.” (m.economictimes.com)

September 2025, at UN General Assembly — “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each of these achievements.” (newsweek.com)

August 2025, phone call to Norwegian minister — He “told him he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize” and implied he deserved it. (reuters.com)

The resident AI made a list so we can all weep.

Why would you do this?

Did you go back and make sure these are real events and not hallucinations?

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I did. I set the thing up to always give me sources so it's easy to verify.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works -1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Could your provide the links then?

It’s strange you’d go to each source and verify the veracity of the claims but then not provide them for us.

Anyways, since you vetted them and have them could you provide them for the rest of the class who prefers to not trust LLM regurgitation.

^ this was what you should have used.

I don’t mind your downvotes but you’re gonna have to live with the notion that you ended up doing extra work just to prove you didn’t spout misinformation.

Maybe a lesson in that.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Bro just gave you a fully sourced list of evidence exactly relevant to the question at hand.

A ‘thank you’ would not be amiss.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works -3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

The person provided AI slop and I got them to follow through with the real information.

I don’t know why I’d thank someone for cleaning up the steaming pile of shit they left in the hallway.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That’s not AI slop.

Those are quotes and their source links. A standard search would result in the same.

Maybe you could appreciate the difference?

Yes AI is terrible, but this isn’t the terrible thing.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works -4 points 22 hours ago

I can ask an LLM to hallucinate news events and create attribution as well.

That’s what we got.

Quote, site

Not an actual quote and link to it.

It’s low effort slop and it necessarily was questioned because of the frequency for AI to hallucinate information.

I’m not going to argue you about this honestly, for now AI is like Wikipedia from the early 2000s …. Best not trusted. Maybe one day it will be there and my current take becomes dated, but we aren’t there yet.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'd happily make that exchange.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 3 points 21 hours ago

russia is the poop bear

I mean he will probably change his mind again the next time he speaks to Putin or someone from The Russian administration.
