Trump snubs Zelensky’s offer to help US with drone tech and lashes out at him again - Lemmy.World

Donald Trump made clear that his personal grudge with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky hasn’t abated during a phone interview with NBC News. Speaking with Meet the Press anchor Kristen Welker on Saturday, the president knocked Zelensky for offering assistance to the U.S. and Middle Eastern countries, the latter of which the Ukrainian president said on Friday were seeking his aid in sharing drone detection technology. The “last person we need help from is Zelensky,” Trump told Welker.

Ukraine is winning because they found cheaper drone defenses than drones…

Were burning thru our sophisticated interceptors because we’re wasting them on drones 1/100th the prices.

Iran just has to keep pumping out the same drones they’ve been sending to Russia.

Like, Ukraine is literally the one government that knows how to win this kind of war.

Haaaaaaang on.

Are you saykng that Iran has been supplying Russia with drones, and now they’ll be keeping them to use against the USA, for the explicit purpose of being destroyed?

So, wouldn’t this mean Russia loses their supply? So wouldn’t that mean it’s actually in Zelenskyys best interest to NOT help the USA?

If USA ends their war quickly, Iran starts supplying Russia again with drones. But until that happens, wouldn’t Ukraine have an easier time in their own war?

If USA ends their war quickly

The only way the US ends this war quickly is by retreating. Drones or not it’s a quagmire.

War agsinst a non-nuclear state onlu needs 2 things to be quick.

  • A shitload of nukes

  • Someone in charge of those nukes who has no morals or empathy.

    • At this point, the only thing making the war take more than a day, is the fact that somehow trump thought better of dropping 4,000 nukes spread out over the entirety of Iran. They’d probably call it something like “Operation Scorched Earth”.
