Yes, heavy irony, but I think it’s lost on them.
Nothing Trump threatened to do yesterday has any impact on the war.
And, longer the war goes on, the more territory and lives Ukraine will lose.
Donetsk in 3 days! Zaporizhzhia in 3 days! Kherson in 3 days! Dnipropetrovsk in 3 days! Sumy in 3 days! Kharkiv in 3 days!
49 days left and the clock is ticking. Tell Putin to get with the program.
Trump’s daily flip flops are common fare in foreign news. The stories always say Trump has one opinion one day and after he talks to someone else his opinion changes again.
The markets are the real loser in Trump’s indecisiveness and inability to forment long term policies.
Fifty days is kicking the can down the road to a lot of tomorrows that never come.
All the rethoric out of NATO and Trump say that Putin was given a chance to capitulate; however, NATO has never addressed Putin’s concerns or the reasons for the SMO.
NATO might eventually have to address those concerns when the SMO is over and the real war begins. Many estimates are that Russia could unleash a 90% increase in leathal operations if they went over to a war footing.
Ukraine is also being given 50 days to capitulate.
NATO has signaled to Russia that Ukraine Membership is still on the table. Thus, this will continue.
The Tomahawks were mentioned... Using American person and US controled COMSEC firing devices means that the US is going to continue to directly attack Russia. Any deployment of Nuclear Capable Missiles is an escalation not yet ordered by Trump or a US president. Russia has stated that any use of such Nuclear Capable systems against Russia or Moscow might be considered a nuclear attack and an appropriate response before they arrive might be triggered against NATO.
The ghost of Blinken is rising in the NEO-Con base about using offensive missiles against Russia again. His threats to Lavrov in Jan 22 are in part responsible for the SMO. Should Trump escalate with Nuclear Capable missiles, he will have crossed a red line that Biden himself set in direct talks with Putin. This would be an extreme provocation.
Moscow’s restraint will not hold if Trump starts firing Tomahawk’s at Moscow. This act will end the SMO outright and result in a war, no longer by US proxy.
Nothing anyone can do about it other than sit back and watch the show.
In the end, it was all up to Melania and her lip reading. LOL
Putin’s stated goal is the genocidal “destruction” of the Ukrainian national identity and culture outside of the filth of the Russkiy Mir. It doesn’t get any more “Nazi” than that.

Would you kindly post a link that shows Putin saying that?
“Would you kindly post a link that shows Putin saying that?”
Putin is a corrupt dictator. He never discloses what he thinks.
So do you have mind-reading powers, or just make it up?
So, you agree that Putin is a corrupt dictator.
Yes. Putin and Zelenskyy are both corrupt dictators.
Apparently you forgot to pass that by delta7.

A hyperactive Martin Armstrong shill re-published over 150 of his blog pages as member Delta7.
Member aMorePerfectUnion, a close Armstrong associate, re-published 10 of his blog pages and supports and defends his master with comments. Look there in that Armstrong center of gravity to find out more about the cult and its leader!

There was a whack job here who was obsessed with Armstrong.
He posted ridiculous arguments without understanding the legalities.
I know of Armstrong through my career as a hedge fund manager and RIA.
I patiently tried to explain why he was totally wrong.
I think he got zotted eventually and ran to create the website you link.
I note he doesn’t use his own name.
I’ve never met Armstrong, nor attended any of his events.
Since I am a monthly supporter of FreeRepublic, my identity is well known.
If anyone finds value in some of what Armstrong publishes or not, it’s their call.
I have no idea of most FReeper real life identities - despite interacting with many over decades. I think I’m in touch with only one in real life. Another 2, book authors, I know their names, but have never interacted in the real world.
Russia is going broke. The wealth fund has been depleted paying for zputin’s two week war.
The economy is crumbling.
The money stream to the oligarchs has been diminished. The natives are restless.
Putin has become very rich on the backs of the working class.
