Well, there you go. The stage has been set. The man who promised for months to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office as president is now walking away, less than 90 days later, without any success at all. Zero. Nada. Giving up, throwing in the towel, exit stage left, and with nothing to show to the world as anything positive. The great deal and peacemaker. Always Winning!

Surely the greatest talker of horse manure in American presidential history.

Some might say this is a standard Trump ploy, outlined in his upcoming sequel to the Art of the Deal, to How I Really Got the Deal, avaialble from all good book shops, but not Amazon, $24.99. Patriots can get their own signed copy for a mere $500 extra, while stocks last.

 

 

Sarcasm aside, its hardly been hard fought shuttle diplomacy, has it?

Darn. That Nobel Peace Prize was so close.

Biden deserves it. His amazing (if mysterious to team left) work with Burisma that so impressed Putin and had such a calming effect on the whole region😅. Or Boris Johnson for his wonderful work to scuttle negotiations which allowed the maiming and death to start. Or Ukraine for peacefully blowing up Nordstream2 and releasing years worth of greenhouse gasses. Or credible western msm for their years long pre invasion narrative that Ukraine has a Nazi problem. Bravo lads.

The democrats mis-preparing Zelenskky for the meeting with Trump/Vance looks like intentional sabotage at this point. Did they issue a grovelling apology yet? All the death and destruction just because they are triggered by their own false narratives on Trump. Would be funny if it werent for all the gore.

Who?
 

Trumpets, always cemented in the past. Always looking backwards instead of forwards. Maybe because there is nothing to look forward to in the next 4 years. Got it.

Typical excuses of a lame duck president.

Nothing like whataboutism for the cult followers. Never on topic. Always trying to derail. It's a tired and boring old playbook already. The truth is, it never works on anyone who has half a brain. Not sure why they even bother anymore.

What has any of that got to do with what is happening today.

Give that past a rest and focus on the damage being done today!

Simple questions: Trump didn't end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours as promised? Nor within 90 days? The prosecution rests its case.

I understand that the art of the deal in his case WRT grabbing his genital area is NO big deal.

Looks like the George Soros brigade is not celebrating Songkran this evening.

Who by?

So i take it Zelensky will not sign the rare earth deal?

 

Well, that's because Putler has no intention of wanting peace... just wants more war.

I agree with Rubio, if Russia doesn't want to negotiate in good faith, why bother.

Not the point. Trump promised it would be done in 24 hours.

The Art of Irrelevance. 

Ukraine wouldn't be the first country that the USA has abandoned. Try Laos and Vietnam for starters.

So, he said right at the end, Ukraine stands to lose a lot more than Russia, so its time for the now billionare actor to admit defeat, end the war now before his countrIRS population is wiped out, is in even more debt, hold elections and stap away...

Russia won.

V. Putin, aka strong world leader.

And thereby betraying the whole world.

Look for these headlines in the near future:

 

 

US will abandon reciprocal trade treaty efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Iran nukular agreement efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Red Sea navigation security efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Greenland annexation efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Nvidia export control efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Mexican cartel suppression efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon Kracken release efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

 

US will abandon latest squirrel diversion efforts ‘within days’ if no progress made.

Ah, finally the laptop gets a rest.

Something else: Where did all these Putin clows learn English so quick? Just asking because I've been in Thailand for 20 years and still can't pronounce things the way I should.
