Is he a loser or a traitor?

The way to get Ukraine over the finish line was to organize as much of the world against Putin. And keep at it.

I know everyone here knows war is expensive, probably hates it as the worst of possible solutions.

Trump uses defeatist language and even worse acts like a traitor would.

I think he's actually both prolonged the war with his actions and still makes it more costly because he doesn't really work with the WORLD.

i capitalized WORLD because I think that is really the most important part that is missing.

I HATE THIS.
