Donald Trump continues to suck up to the Russian president.

If Ukraine were to suddenly surrender to Russia, everything would be “much better,” at least according to Donald Trump.

During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee urged the Eastern European nation to submit to the foreign power, claiming that any deal, no matter how dismal for Ukraine’s freedom, would have been better than the current state of affairs.

“Ukraine is gone. It’s not Ukraine anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns, and you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people,” Trump said. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.

    Well, he might be on to something.

    I’m studying world history for the first time and I’ve so far gotten to 1938 and while I know absolutely nothing that happened after that, so far it looks like this suggestion has worked with this Hitler fellow.

      The person Europe appeased eventually went on to go and shoot Hitler, afterall.

      I found and old encyclopedia at a car boot sale from around that time. Looked up Germany and it mentioned that ‘Herr Hitler had done wonders for Germany’s economy but wasn’t very popular in some circles as they considered his views and policies were extreme.’

      Another fun fact - Nazis were very popular with a lot of the British Royal family and the ‘upper classes’. They were also supported by The Daily Mail newspaper, some things never change do they?
