In the latest U.S. presidential elections, as expected, Trump won by a landslide. His victory was acknowledged even by the Democratic candidate, Kamala, the very next day. Trump openly declared his goals: to restore the greatness and authority of the U.S., which had hit its lowest levels during the Obama and Biden presidencies. Under Biden, the world was on the brink of WWIII.
In the Trump-Kamala duel, I never even considered rooting for Kamala; however, I must say that no politician, no matter who, makes me go crazy for them. Not even Trump. Simply put, between the two candidates, Trump was the better choice for me. I hoped his election would have a positive impact on the world and my country.
Many anti-Trumpists haven’t stopped spewing venom against him; according to them, everything he says and does is wrong. They disagree with Trump’s stance on Zelensky, Ukraine, and Russia. In reality, the Russia-Ukraine conflict began much earlier, not in February 2022: the Azov Battalion’s crimes against the Russian-speaking population in Donetsk, the referendum where those regions voted to join Russia, etc. That conflict was further provoked by the Biden administration and Europe, and it escalated when they pushed for Ukraine to join NATO—an act that was practically a declaration of war against Russia and the beginning of WWIII. The result: one and a half million dead Ukrainians and Russians, Ukraine in ruins, war industry tycoons got richer, and American and European taxpayers paid, as they say, over 350 billion euros—out of which roughly 100 billion are unaccounted for. Where did they go? Into the pockets of U.S. officials or Zelensky? Sooner or later, this issue will be unraveled.
Oh, did you hear the latest news? Apparently, Trump is a secret Russian agent, recruited by the KGB in 1987 under the codename Krasnov.
I have nothing more to say. Fairy tales… See you around.
If the russian aggresion rationale is "Ukraine wants to join NATO" that kinda proves the point that joining NATO would be the good idea for them right all along, right?

On the Russian/Ukraine conflict, you have those who believe that the conflict started in 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and those who believe it started in 2014 with the coup against the then democratic elected president of Ukraine (or even before, when NATO made it clear to Russia of it plans to expand eastwards, contrary to what had been agreed after the fall of the Berlin Wall)
These two point of views are irreconcilable. Most people I know who belong to the first group see Putin as the aggressor, Trump as a Russian asset, etc, whereas those in the second group, like you, see it with more nuance.
