First, let us recall John’s posture in February 2022: because Trump was actively promoting Putin’s agenda, by saying Putin was playing Biden like a drum, and that America is full of idiots… John joined the chorus in a pro Russian/Putin diatribe against Ukraine and Zelenskyy (see at right).

It was clear then in 2022 that this was going to be Trump‘s approach, should he ever be put back in office: with Trump, everything is personal.

He was still furious and thinking about revenge, since Zelenskyy had not delivered “dirt” on Joe Biden for the 2020 election cycle as requested, before sending aid to Ukraine.

Now fast forward, three more years, and Trump is extracting his revenge and paying off whatever debt he owes to Putin in doing so. The only thing surprising about all this is that Hinderaker professes to be surprised.

Where was he when Tangerine was saying he would do all this? Oh. Right. Licking the Tangerine boots in mid to late 2024.

But now he clutches his pearls?! Damn:

…Ukraine has suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties in resisting the Russian invasion, and its economy is a shambles. Most observers (including me) would say that Ukraine represented the West in its defensive war against an aggressor. So, why such a punitive attitude on the part of the Trump administration?

Meanwhile, President Trump has been negotiating with Russia without consulting Ukraine. Why? Many observers are asking, whose side is he on? President Zelensky has canceled his trip to Saudi Arabia as a protest against Trump’s purporting to settle the future of Ukraine without consulting Ukrainians…

That’s Hinderaker, tonight.

I am sick of his endless BS. He directly created this — with the rest of the docile GOP.

To call what Trump is doing here “an unforced error” (leaving Zelenskyy and Ukraine, to be slaughtered) is about as tone deaf as asking Mary Todd Lincoln “Well, then… other than that, Mrs. Lincoln — how did you enjoy the play?”

And John concludes tonight, by saying he “hopes it all turns out okay…” — how very Neville Chamberlain of him!

He was, and is, a feckless moronic putz.
