So let me see if I got this straight. He was not seen as mentally fit enough to run for a second term but is mentally fit enough to make these kind of decisions? What the actual fu**? Make it make sense.

[nunyabidniz]

They had to escalate things since the political machine lost.

[AnitaBlowie]

Dude can't even walk up stairs or complete a whole sentence but he can make decisions like this. 😢

The idiot who was deemed incompetent in court will start WW3.

WTH?

[BinSimmons]

Zelensky needing permission to fire weapons should show you who's really fighting this war.

[milescoburn]

I'm confused. Since when has the U.S. been calling the shots in a war that has nothing to do with us? And why would we, anyway?

[kathyfranks]

This is horrible! God bless this Country and the entire world!

[munseym]

They told me if I voted for Trump we would end up in WW3. They didn't tell me it would be before Trump is inaugurated.

This war criminal to be removed from Office asap

[otiemanning]

Trying desperately to start a war before Trump gets in

[thomasbrovont]

Remember when the media said it was going to be Pres. Trump that would start WW3.

[jamesd]

Theyre gonna either claim martial law or theyre trying to leave trump with an absolute mess. Insane.

[MrFox]

It's unbelievable watching people cheer for WW3

[lindzw]

What is he thinking? Did he have this planned? Wth??

[ASaltyGurl]

I thought that Congress had the ability to declare war? When did the President declare war? I must have missed the memo on this?

[jeffgriffin]

I can't believe the " board of directors " is still letting this fool make decisions like this .

[deplorablelibertarian]

I thought democrats said trump would start WWIII?

[WilliamHallbrook]

What happened to congress voting for war? When did the U.S. install a king???

[ejkboxing]

Zelenski better not do it. If he thinks Trump is gonna cut his ass off, he really will be cut off from everything now when Trump gets into office.

[kevindrake]

Jus when u thought he couldn't mess up any more before he exits
