Has the Ukrainian president ever heard of a dress code? Does he attend funeral services in casual attire? In his younger days did he go on job interviews wearing polo shirts and khakis? Where does he shop? Yes he dissed the WH today by going in dressed like a shlub and started yelling at Trump and Vance about the war and left early in a huff without signing the rare earth minerals deal with the US. Trump accused him of being ungrateful and gambling with WW3 and Vance gave him a lecture as only Vance can give. Gone are the days of quiet diplomacy.
Say what you will I wasn't bored. Gotta get me a bucket of popcorn next time.
Guy and country fighting to save themselves. Kick him in the teeth.
ReplyDeleteDiplomacy?
What do we have like over a trillion dollars in debt and we already gave him billions of dollars. You and I are on a budget. WHERE does this money come from? You want us to go to war with Russia BB? You got a musket?
ReplyDeleteTrump kept using poker metaphors.
ReplyDeleteThe thinking goes if Zelensky had signed that minerals deal we'd have American workers, miners over there for years to come and so Putin would not attack Ukraine. A casual security guarantee is better than no security guarantee? Or are you with the neocons and neolibs endless war is better than a peace deal? I'm not a pro geo-affairs analyst. Just wish he'd get back to the price of eggs.
Russia swarmed over the Ukraine border. Land grab, pure and simple. They could have given up. But didn't fought them to a standstill and Putin used up a whole lot of war material and men, as well as going after civilians. What we bought was helping a proud country save itself, the Soviet war machine deplete and no US servicemen were harmed. At the rate Trump, Musk and the 'team' will have us surrounded by enemies that were allies for decades and 'friends' that were our worst enemies (and IMO still are) Lessee, now
ReplyDelete3.79 more years - boggles the noodle.
You may not be one of them but most people want the war to end.
ReplyDeleteBB - warmonger?
DeleteToday's Dem Party is pro-war so you fit right in.
DeleteZelensky going to an important meeting and he was dressed like he was going to the track. The only thing missing was the Gatorade bottle.
ReplyDeleteOdd, isn't it - Trumpublicans siding with communist Russia.
ReplyDeleteHard to figure that one out.
Did you watch the FULL Zelensky/Trump meeting at the WH? It's a complicated picture that doesn't lend itself well to childlike analysis but then again geopolitics is complicated.
ReplyDeleteGovernment funding of foreign wars. Maybe you can explain where the $$$$$$ comes from. I have a budget. There are things I'd like to do with the house but I don't have the funds. I can't print money in my basement. I'm not the government.
ReplyDeleteHaving watched the full about 50 minutes of the Trump/Zelensky WH meeting the bulk of the meeting went well. It only took a wrong turn at the very end and it seemed to start with Vance. Just trying to round out the picture here.
$$$$- bibles, hats, cologne, watches, shoes. Complicated, like dig up all the minerals and put in a great wonderful hotel? You could print money in the basement, but you would need a good lawyer.
ReplyDeleteApparently Biden was the one who made minerals a key part of our foreign policy. He got the ball rolling on that and Trump is following suit. I think Zelensky is making a big mistake by not signing the raw earth deal. Sleepy Joe also had more people deported than Trump but you don't hear about it.
ReplyDeleteWe need to do some research. Didn't Zelensky have political opponents jailed at one point?
Perhaps you feel we should have stayed longer in Vietnam?
They didn't want us in VN (and we lost a lot of US boys there). All our combat troops are on the border now- otherwise they would be in Greenland.
ReplyDeleteYou would prefer the Russia/Ukraine War to go on for 10 more years then?
ReplyDeleteYou finished your chores already?
ReplyDeleteUp at 3:30 AM - paper guy was surprised.
ReplyDeleteGet bored - play solitaire on my big screen. If I win, it announces
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE! I feel like a T-bone that fell into the pit.
