In order to follow developments in the Ukraine war (seemingly yesterday's news already), I track Intel_Slava on Telegram. Within a day after the assassination attempt on Trump, the Russians are now dropping bombs marked as "For Trump." (Za Trampa.) It makes me wonder what their SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) knows about all this.
The Russian news reports on this channel are disdainful of Biden and respectful and even concerned about Trump.
The scene in Ukraine seems to be that Russia is conducting a vigorous but measured and thorough mopping up, clearing Ukrainian forces from novoRussian territory. Immense bounties are being offered for any Russian pilot who downs an American F-15 or F-16 in theater.
I'm assuming "For Trump" meaning "in support of Trump" in this context?
Without the context, I think about Looney Toons or WWII where a bomb has its target's name written on the surface of the bomb before they load it onto the bomber.
If it was meant "to target Trump", that would be "для Трампа" - dlya Trampa. This is clearly a mark with a message of retaliation.
Yes. за - for and против - against.
In many of the Russian Telegram channels you will see "за победу" (for the victory).
Russian language is very precise. I remember when my Russian teacher corrected me because I wrote something about "a treatment for heart disease", which, as I wrote it means a treatment that causes heart disease. I should have written "a treatment against heart disease".
Honoring Trump is the meaning
"Za" is a tricky preposition, but in this context it means "on behalf of." The practice of writing names or slogans on bombs continues today for those who want to do it. The Russians are a sort of people who have vengeance in their cultural outlook. They appreciate and honor a fighter, and Trump's raised fist after being shot in the head must have captured their respect.
