Eh, I wouldn’t say Taco Don has no control of Alcoholic. It’s just Alcoholic making a guess of what Taco Don wants and actively trying to appease him. Or the good 'ol “Taco Don lied”, just like he told once that he never met that Epstein guy.

My poor boy Makhno siding with Bolsheviks and later going “nah, screw them” to ally with Petlyura says a lot about Bolsheviks.

As someone had put it:

Putin lays a pile of shit in Trump’s hands, and latter looks for nuts in there to be happy about.

Pooty is simply happy to be staging a distraction for West, that is these sham negotiations, where Russians arrived with same set of demands they had 3 years ago (yes, capitulation), and same impudent attitude.

And Taco Don probably got “lol no” when he again brought up topic of direct meeting of him and Pooty.

So he said about 10 Patriot rockets, and 30 were to be shipped prior to halt. That’s “US will send Ukraine less weapons”, not more.

While people like Rubio and Couch Lover have to “tune in” to Taco Don’s stupidity, I think Pete there was already on that wave due to being an idiot, and alcoholism probably doesn’t help, so my assumption is that he was actually quite in sync.

Considering how shipments were stopped last times, with one most idiotic - “we stopped shipment because what if they negotiate ceasefire now” - that’s absolutely what “master of the deal” would say.

He could’ve tried to revive the country, and he got an easy start in the 00s, but he chosed to gamble it instead.

That’s not why people become dictators. Not to mention that in autocratic environments heads of states don’t really feel the consequences of their actions, and don’t really mind throwing millions of their own people under the bus to bring some ephemeral former glory back.

Some folks became billionaires in Russia simply because they were friends of Putin though.

These may truly be protected class. Everyone else though - out the window as soon as they outlive their usefulness.

Interesting how he wasn’t just transferred to some “window looker” job (pun not intended).

Ministers in Russia are appointed basically by czar himself and firing such folks for their failures would mean admitting that czar made wrong decision when appointing them.

There’s, of course, ol’ classic “czar good, boyars bad”, but still kinda surprising for me.

Not including Ukraine in there is a crime.

Okay, valid.

But planes in a country that can barely maintain them. And also famous Russian AA and their love for occasional friendly fire or shooting down civilian airliners.

What strikes me in these videos with lots of people stranded in Russian airports while plan “Carpet” is enacted due to drone activity is that all these people are goddamn stupid.

Like - lots of people but not a single braincell between them to whisper in the ear “take a goddamn train, your country is at war”.

Art of the deal, folks.

Taco Don already functionally stopped all aid and arms supply to Ukraine and trying his hardest to ignore Ukraine, and will probably chicken out from helping Taiwan defend itself too in case latter gets invaded.

So that’s just China being asshole too and wanting Russia to succeed, because that’d mean you can take a dump on international laws and have benefits that outweigh repercussions.

If whatever remains of free democratic world won’t get its shit together soon - we will just get picked apart eventually by those last iteration imperialists.

Engineering PhD.

Will usually claim to be a Luddite when someone not familiar with first fact asks for help with their tech.

Poor Reagan is also spinning in his frying pan all the time due to GOP nowadays French kissing Russians.
