The great benefit of the horse to car transition was the removal of the amount of horseshit that was choking city streets. The great disadvantage of the combustion engine car to EV is the massive increase in bullshit.

The wagons of the protect Trump media are circled and tightly packed. Not to repel an external threat but to ensure that nothing detrimental to Trump gets out.

Witkoff was hand picked by Putin to be the US representative. Kushner was hand picked by Trump, probably hoping that he could repeat his multi billion dollar grifted Arab investment in family concerns. No prizes for guessing the agenda of these two.

Perhaps. But I suspect Putin would be confident that the US would not intervene and and would hamper any NATO response

Iran 'peace' agreement forced before the job was complete, the single US strike a failure, now Israel indicating more strikes. Gaza 'peace' agreement failed at te first stage. Trump's Ukraine ' peace' proposal actually Ukraine capitulation. Starmer needs a wake up call. The US can't be trusted.

I suspect that with Trump putting pressure on Ukraine to ignore its Constitution and hold elections, obviously with the hope of replacing Zelensky with a more pliable leader, these comments are the start of his disruptive election campaign.

Ooh, with their heavy warhead that would make them an effective area weapon against Russian cities should Ukraine finally decide that they have had enough of Russia targeting Ukrainian cities and retaliate.

I think he is talking about the salvaged AI-25TL turbofan jet engines used for the initial Flamingo. Certainly such are within the capability of Ukraine to build and his comments on the accuracy of the Flamingo are a head scratcher. Wonder what his agenda is. Hoping to run next election?

The Ukrainians are very adept at channelling a Russian advance by falling back at the axis of attack but holding the flanks and then counter attacking from the flank. Cutting off the advancing group and then eliminating it.

Mark, even we overseas from the US realize that Trump replaced everyone with influence and competence in key government instrumentalities with loyal but incompetent MAGA acolytes. The US has fallen, not with a bang but a whimper.

So about the same as every one of his speeches, or rather maunderings. But probably good for his MAGA followers because he doesn't use big words.
