Again, he blamed 3 people if you keep listening past 20 seconds..🙄
Putin #1..
I guess he thinks Zelenskyy should have offered Putin land in exchange for peace vs fighting a war he cant win.
I cant think of any real leader that would have done that..Didn't the Czechs try that with Hitler and the Sudetenland? 🤷

Yes, I’m aware of what he said, past 20 seconds.
That doesn’t negate what he said in the first 20 seconds.
He tries to excuse Russia. His response to the latest massacre in Sumy:
“I was told they made a mistake,” he said.

I read someone referring to Trump as him thinking of himself as the big mafia boss. With China and Russia being other mob leaders...he thinks of Zelinsky as a nobody. I think that's a pretty good analogy.
The contempt he and Vance have for Zelensky is obvious.

When will someone be brave enough to ask him this:
”You say the war never would have started if you were in office. So why can you not put an end to it, now that you ARE in office?”
A century ago quack doctors travelled the US selling bogus medication they promised would put an end to suffering. Those days are gone, but there's one snake oil salesman still operating, and he's running the country.
God Bless America.

Actually, it generally does.
During conversations, the clarification comes after the initial odd comment.

And again, Zelinsky was involved in the Hunter Biden mess in Ukraine that led to Trumps first impeachment..
Remember, this goes back years before the Russian invasion..

It's personal with Trump. It shouldn't be, but
sorta like a mafia boss, Trump likes revenge..
Well, if Americans are happy with a man who thinks he is starring in the Godfather ruining their country, not to mention relations with countries that have been allies for decades....you have got what you want.

I think a lot of us wish we had better options from the two major parties.
Then there are people like me that think we should be smart enough to not pick one of two bad options when we have others on every presidential ballot..
So yeah, we are getting what we deserve and I expect shit government and a some sort of collapse in a few years..
Trump just may hasten its arrival.

Well, I understand the Chinese stock market as much as I understand Bitcoin, which is to say not at all, so I wouldn't touch either of them.
Looks like investors have chosen gold and Swiss francs as the safe bet, along with spreading their money into a range of other currencies / markets given the US market volatility.

It's the sheer scale of the gaslighting which boggles my mind. It's like fam, we can see what is happening with our own eyes, don't try to convince us that up is down and expect us to accept it.
Imagine being Japan. The US drop atomic bombs on you twice, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths, radiation sickness, burns, malnutrition and extensive psychological trauma. You spend decades after the war atoning for you sins, restructure your society to align with American interests as a result of the Marshall plan as America wants you to act as a buffer against Chinese communism, host US bases, try to maintain strong diplomatic relations, invest heavily in US bonds which assists American expansion.
Then what does the American president says after decades of loyalty? You've been a crap ally, have taken advantage of the US and here, have a 34% tariff for your trouble.
F#ck.That.

I don't disagree with the gaslighting.
But don't act like Toyota, Honda and Nissan haven't benefited from access to our massive consumer market, while having the American taxpayer pay for a great deal of their defense..

I'm not denying that. Both countries improved through their mutually beneficial relationship. That's why strong trading partnerships are generally welcomed.
Don't then turn around after decades of good interactions and say "you know what, you've always been a bit crap and taken advantage of me. Give me more money."

No doubt there are some fairly innocent bystanders in Trumps war on whatever he's waging war on.

I’ve said on here loads of times that he’s always been mobbed-up, Syl.
He was reportedly a notorious money launderer from way back in the 80’s - first for the Italians and latterly the Russians - through his real estate holdings and his casinos.
And as POTUS, he still thinks and acts like a mob boss.
