Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the United States has provided a textbook example of how to deal with dictators in Venezuela and "knows what to do next".

What Trump just did in Venezuela not very different from what Putin wanted to do in Ukraine in 2021 when his special forces tried to take Kiev's airport.

With the possible difference that the specnaz would have been a lot less careful with Zelensky's life.

He's really busy sucking Trump's dick

Oh my sweet summer child. If there is anyone that doesn’t know what to do after toppling a leader it’s the US

Zelenskyy refrained from directly mentioning Russia or its illegitimate leader Vladimir Putin, but the context of his remark made it clear that he was referring to him.

I know we usually see Zelenskyy being pretty grim due to the circumstances he's under, but you've got to remember he was a comedian before this

Reminds me I should watch Servant of the People again

I think he’s suggesting more who to do next

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep. Kill a hundred thousand people, take a big shit in the middle of the country, run away, and then spend the next twenty years fighting the "terrorists" that have a problem with it. Only costs about ten thousand of America's biggest losers and the rich get richer.

That's a different operation, though. At least for now USA's behaviour is more akin to what they did in Iran than Iraq or Afghanistan.

The difference to the mayhem they caused in Iran is that here USA wouldn't need to worry about implanting a successor.

HUR will be handle that a thousand times better.

Oh my sweet summer child

Whom are you adressing, Zelensky?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago

lol, yeah, Zelensky is a wise man, aged by horrific experiences. Like the exact opposite of a sweet summer child.

This is the very moment where the clear parts of the plan end and the chaos begins

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.europe.pub 2 points 1 week ago

True, but the chaos is coming anyway. The earlier it begins, the less destructive it will be.

[–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.europe.pub 6 points 1 week ago

In Putin's case they don't need to. There are competent people around who will be able to handle that. Moscow isn't that far from the border of civilization.

Bro you're the next person he'd like to see gone

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Start a pointless war that grinds up an entire generation's worth of men just to appease a corrupt class of facist oligarchs?
