Ignoring the other Putin lovers among the Good Ole Piranhas and whether DJT is capable of any rational thought, does that “f&^%ing moron” now think differently about Ukraine and its battle against Putin’s invasion of this much smaller country (with a big, brave heart!). One can only hope, but, as that first impeachment trial clearly showed, the ex-president only considered Ukraine to be a pawn he could use to get at his future competitor in the 2020 election – not well thought out by any means, like many of his stupid actions while president. Never mind the dirt that’s been dug up about Il Duce’s nefarious spawn and son-in-law that makes Hunter Biden seem like an angel, that self-proclaimed genius DJT thought he could ruin Papa Biden’s chances to win by going after his son. Like a true mafia family, Trump Corporation will do just about anything it can to maintain power and ensure their greed is satisfied (there was that threat about killing someone on Fifth Avenue, though).
We’ll also have to avoid the following question: If Trump had actually supported Ukraine instead of withholding the meager aid Zelenskyy was asking for at that time, would Putin have had second thoughts about invading?
Right now, the incompetent wannabe czar of Russia is having a terribly tough time winning anything he can claim as showing his forces are turning the tide against the Ukrainians. Putin and his military leaders are learning that outnumbering the enemy but fighting World War II-style only means that the Russia’s dead and casualties far outnumber the Ukraine’s. In Putin’s psychotic and thuggish brain (very much akin to Trump’s, according to mental health pros), he might think that even the Wagner group’s uncountable losses might save some money in the Russian prison system, but that group’s blundering and ineffective actions just piled up more and more bodies recently.
Moreover, Putin is now seen worldwide as being an incompetent little snot who can’t manage anything more complicated than slurping his borscht, let alone a war. He thought he’d take Kiev in two weeks? C’mon! We’re almost a year into this war, and the Ukrainians have rarely faltered, even as Putin aka Ivana the Terrible thinks he can continue to practice genocide and ethnic cleansing, i.e. wiping Ukraine off the face of the Earth. Not likely to happen, vile Volodya!
Unless China steps in to aid Russia like Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other small-time autocratic countries. China could save Putin’s ass. But can China live with the consequences? Biden must make it clear to that SOB what those are, by the way. Does Xi want to destroy China like Putin is destroying Russia?
That Asian evil’s economy is failing, the balloon incident showed that the military isn’t communicating with politicians, and there’s no coherent policy in China besides “Make China Great Again.” China lost more to Covid-19 than Russia’s casualties in the Ukrainian war, mostly because they refused to implement a modern vaccine program (anything from the West is bad in the psychotic Xi’s mind). China would be stupid to help Russia. They’d be stupid to invade Taiwan. They can’t afford World War III, a war they never could win!
Geopolitics is a mess nowadays, as if human beings never learned anything about the consequence of fascist autocracies perpetrated in the twentieth century. Both Putin and Xi and every other two-bit dictator worldwide think they can do it better than Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. They’re delusional, and they’re willing to destroy the world to feed their delusions! By attempting to do so, they will commit suicide on a massive scale.
