Updated: Hinderaker tonight apparently thinks that Tangerine is in the right to give a carved up Ukraine away for free to Putin. I think that smells a lot like Trump paying a prior debt — one owed to Putin. But Hinderaker cannot bring himself to chastise the third grade bully Trump so tediously is, even entering his eighth decade on the planet. That’s… disgusting. End, update.
So — apparently the new US posture toward anything Putin wants… is “let’s help Putin get it.” Lithium reserves?
Land?
Human capital?
Here (in the person of Donald Trump!) — “let’s give it to him.”
But why, exactly? Why?!
Trump just posted this:
…It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE.
He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace….”
It is telling that Trump put an initial cap on “Peace” — to him it means only those terms he and Putin (without Ukraine’s input) decide what makes… a ‘peace’. Damn him.
This, coupled to the childish outbursts of Trump (and Vance) on camera at the White House… make it clear that it is Trump who has misjudged the situation: Ukraine is a nation — and Mr. Zelenskyy is a President — with very little left to lose, ever since Trump turned tail and ran, into Putin’s arms.
And the most dangerous person at any negotiating table is the guy with nothing left to lose.
Trump can’t understand that. The EU, NATO and maybe even China will become Ukraine allies in its defense, and leave America on the sidelines — an impotent old buffoon, in the corner at Thanksgiving dinner. And Ukraine will sell its lithium to the EU at very high prices, to rebuild.
Trump committed a completely third-grade bully’s error, on this playground.
What an A$$.
John, Scott and Paul are avoiding writing about this completely embarrassing display of vituperative childishness by the Donald.
F-ing cowards.
But he’s their boy. Take ownership — and responsibility — you dolts.
Out.
