Surprising.
TLDR: The leopards are eating the Nebraska Cattleman’s faces and they are concerned! But our stuff is important, they wailed!
Now he’s calling Zelensky a dictator and lying about his approval rating.
No wonder Putin wanted him elected.
Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe’s money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn’t Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is “MISSING.” He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden “like a fiddle.” A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only “TRUMP,” and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the “gravy train” going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died – And so it continues……
Like I said…
Well beyond it. We need a better term than ‘Orwellian’.
This latest litany of bare-faced lies and distortions is clearly preparing the ground for Zelensky to be dumped, Putin to take over Ukraine having signed mining and export deals (rare earths - many of which are beneath the ground Putin currently occupies) with Trump, and NATO to be completely sidelined and rendered an interesting historical artefact (especially when Putin rolls across its borders, which he will, knowing the US will do precisely nothing about that).
… unless the EU grows some balls and a bigger spine STAT and stands up to Trump much more forcibly, NOW! E.g. makes it clear there will be sanctions on the whole of the US administration if it proceeds with any such ‘peace’ deal that Ukraine has not negotiated and signed up to.
ETA here is today’s Private Eye cover:
the president is widely credited for pushing the parties to a ceasefire agreement
Some suspect this is merely a negotiation ploy that he hopes will pressure Arab states to take responsibility over Gaza, and to force Hamas into relinquishing control and influence.
While episodes of forced mass displacement have taken place in the second half of the 20th century, such as those in Yugoslavia or in Syria, these were never endorsed or championed by the White House.
And it just fucking did, but hey, it’s just Trump’s nth dimensional chess skills, right? Not like he’s ever expressed that he views some people as less than human, right?
What is even worse about this is that our media isn’t calling bullshit on the peace talks not involving the country that was attacked. To their reading, this is just normal.
“an elite few”?!? What in the ever-loving-shit is Duffy TALKING about… I mean, I’ve never been to NYC and I know that’s wrong.
If AI were asked to write a piece of Russian propaganda in the style of Doughboy Tramp, this is what you’d get. I wish media outlets would at least ask why we’ve elected a Russian asset as our president.
We usually accuse people of not being aware of history, in this case it’s like the issue is being bound by history. Like, going by the this-happened-then-that-happened encyclopedia version of history for the last X00 years, you would think it totally normal that “great powers” would get together occasionally to decide everyone else’s fate.
I don’t pretend to know if this works but it was was approved until today. States rights aren’t really a thing.
But this is really telling.
Long live the what now? If America is really over its whole Republic thing, I think Charles III still has the best claim for that title.
I’m reminded of a tv show where a high school principle tried to sacrifice the students to enable his ascension.
C’mon, NBC, shouldn’t it read, Trump administration and not USDA?
