Funny-not-funny
It’s hilarious (in the funny-not-funny sense) to hear how Trump and his Administration’s crew of malignant idiots are “angry” at Putin for not buying into the “ceasefire” deal that the great bloated dealmaker has been trumpeting this past while.
They’re shocked – shocked, I tell you! – that Putin hasn’t bought into their fairy tale of “peace” yet. Trump thinks that if he has a “buddy” relationship with the leader of another country, then that means that those countries’ interests align as well. Moronic doesn’t even begin to describe that.
The “stable genius” receives a gift
Trump figured that, since Putin sent him a portrait of the “stable genius” to hang up in the Colorado General Assembly building and “prayed” for him after Trump was shot at during last year’s election campaign, Putin would somehow give up wanting to destroy and subjugate Ukraine. Now THERE’S some high-level foreign policy thinking for you.
Regardless of what the Russians or some misguided media might state, there is no ceasefire agreement in place. Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians ceaselessly while claiming that Ukraine is violating the “agreement” when it takes out Russian missile storage facilities or oil depots (which it does regularly, by the way).
Russia has given up nothing in these “ceasefire” talks. NOTHING. And it won’t. If the clown car crew in the White House had ever deigned to pick up a history book, they would f****** know that. But reading – that’s just crazy talk. Let’s just try to be “buddies” with the other guys instead. Maybe send them a portrait to reciprocate.
American “anger” at Putin is a sham
This American “anger” at Putin is a sham. To this point, Trump has done absolutely NOTHING to try to force Putin’s hand in these “peace” negotiations, while it has done plenty to try to force Ukraine’s. Russia wasn’t even included on Trump’s tariff list, FFS.
Well, they did say that they might delay a phone call with Putin. That’ll show ‘em. “Angry” indeed.

So much for the orange man ending the war in one day!
Oh, you’ve got that right, Fino. Too stupid for words, both he and the sycophants around him.
As our world sinks into despotism and run by tyrants, it will make less and less sense to us. Normal people cannot understand their reasons or techniques of operating as it contains no decency. It seems stupid to us because we judge actions with a moral filter on our lives and decisions. The tyrants do not. There is only power, greed and corruption.
Thanks for commenting, Brian. Besides power, greed, and corruption, there’s also abject stupidity, particularly by some.
