Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

In 2022, it was reported that Vladimir Putin and his top leadership were developing a backup plan to flee to Venezuela if Russia were defeated in Ukraine.

Like a dog. Right to his masters lap, I see.

I don't disagree with the analogy, but Trump compares people negatively to dogs so often (and famously hates dogs) that I'm not a big fan of it.

Plus, we don't deserve dogs. They love unconditionally and are extremely loyal if treated right.

I'd say, "Like pond scum. He is going right to the lowest and grossest point of a lake."

I agree. I would be honored to be compared to a dog. I'd wear that comparison with pride.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Uh, I like this one.

[–] card797@champserver.net 8 points 3 months ago

Wow. Hates dogs?!

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I love dogs. See it as the one and only positive thing I can say about him. He seems loyal to at least Putin. Who in turn is a dog person himself. Shit, you made me say something good about Putin too. Thanks a lot.

Won't go to China and be a puppet they can parade around.

Iran, North Korea, Syria, and Cuba would suck for lifestyle and stability.

Brazil has a chance of maybe later changing their minds and wanting them gone.

What an amazing list of allies to turn to. And after all of them thinking Venezuela is the best bet for not ending up like Gaddafi.
