Cold pickled camel’s stomach in Kazakhstan, oh and warm vodka! Easily the most difficult thing to get down ever. As horrific as it sounds

These were guys having quite different conversations in so many aspects. Talking past each other and all under tremendous pressure.

Again, general mystification in the room to all but Russian speakers who understood it was another Russian loan word and he was referring to the Oval Office.

Elsewhere in the argument with Vance he started talking about being thankful when he came to the ‘cabinet’.

One also gets a glimpse into how difficult it also is for Zelensky to deal with tricky questions not in his first language. He replies he’s going to get a ‘costume’ when the war is over, a word lifted from his first language which is Russian.

No doubt the Trumpland hordes and the algorithms went absolutely berserk. This is what we are living in now. It’s amazing.

Sadly, made to walk into a room and negotiate in front of the cameras, Zelensky fell for it.

Trump, Vance, and just out of sight Musk all getting angrier and angrier for the sake of the algorithms’ engagement.

Actually Zelensky was correct to say Trump is living in a disinformation space. What happened yesterday in the White House was the horrible real life outcome of all these Alpha male idiots who have radicalised themselves online and Maga-land.

From Trump’s point of view, him and Putin are in it together. And he probably thinks he’s come to this conclusion all by himself. Which is the saddest part.

Trump sees himself and Putin as joint victims of the Democrat/legacy media stitch up over his first impeachment and aid to Ukraine.
