It's alleged that Trump is telling Zelensky what to wear at their next meeting

Sorry, but I can't see where Zelensky's clothing makes any difference. During WW2, for example, Stalin didn't wear a suit. Did he get beat up for it?


Don't confuse your hatred of Zelensky who is fighting for the survival of his county with the trappings of office as you perceive them.

Selling Ukraine out.... again.... will not work now any more than it worked when Chamberlain sold out Czechoslovakia to Germany with Hitler.

We signed an agreement guaranteeing Ukraine's sovereignty, as did Russia, back in '94 in return for Ukraine getting rid of its 700 or so nukes... which, had they ignored us and kept them, would have stopped any invasion to begin with.

Russia has repeatedly ignored that agreement as they will repeatedly ignore any agreement Trump gets now. After all, what would Trump do about it? Increase sanctions Putin never cared about in the first place?

Any ceasefire now will allow Putin to rearm, retrain and reorganize. He will then attack at his leisure.

Trump is getting played like a fiddle. Appeasing dictators such as Putin only emboldens them and reinforces the historical fact that militarily and economically, whenever the US gets involved, at some point we'll walk away. Vietnam, Afghanistan and in other places, to name a couple.

The world is watching and shaking their head at our continued ignorance.

And most here don't care what happens as long as we're not involved... a copy of the pre-World War Two stance of many. And how'd that work out for us?

But we'll care when Russia engages in Putin's avowed aim to restore the Warsaw Pact countries under his control, including current NATO countries, triggering World War 3.

Much of the blood you'll see on the ground then will be American.

And, like in WW2, we'll start playing the "if only we had" game.

At Nuremberg, we hung Nazi leaders for most of the same things Putin has done with this invasion. At least 100,000 war crimes. Billions in damages.

And he won't be held accountable for any of it. Who'll pay for it? It should be Putin. But you already know we'll be on the hook for rebuilding something Putin will then destroy again when he feels like it.

Now, we'll reward him and send an entirely different message to dictators and dictator-wannabes.

And Zelensky’s wardrobe won't make any damned difference.

"Never Again" ended in February of 2022. And what we've done about it to date is the equivalence of a fender-bender compared to an "eight-killed-in-the-intersection" car wreck when Trump gets his way.

It's just a matter of time. And time will be on Putin's side.
