    The man doesn’t hold a single personal opinion except that he is the greatest person ever. He copies all his opinions from whomever he talked to last.

      whomever he talked to last.

      In this case, Von der Leyen & Zelensky it seems.

      Trump’s Opinon Expiration date ( TOED) : max 30 September or earlier if listening to a different source.

        On the Times Radio Trump report there is an example of this quoted regularly: the EU and the US were on the verge of a trade deal, to be signed during a weekend after getting the legwork done on a Thursday. On Friday the tariff czar Peter Navarro was all over the news (mainly Fox but not only) saying how horrible this deal was. Trump, who notoriously watches an unhealthy amount of TV, picked up on it and by the time the deal was supposed to be signed two days later, had changed his mind already and did a complete about-face raising tariffs instead of signing the deal.

        Toddler politics at work.

    That dementia is a bitch. He’ll forget he ever said that by tomorrow.

    No shit. That’s what the west/NATO/the EU should have done from the start when Russia invaded back in 2014… and when they invaded again in 2022…

        Which is dumb as hell even if you only look at it for selfish reasons. Most of the high technology manufactuing and design for the soviet union was there, they had shipyards, port access, minerals, and the knowledge to use them IN ADDITION to not wanting anything to do with the soviets anymore. It should have been a no-brainer to foster that relationship and protect them with more than a paper agreement.

      Makes perfect sense to me. Fascists from different nationalities will always eye each other with suspicion. If only there was a way to play off that paranoia of each other to the benefit of all. Say, make Musk appear to only support American interests to European fascists so that he may be discredited among them.

        Beyond true, the estato novo in Portugal & the Falange in Spain for instance despite both being Catholic fascist regimes often didnt exactly love eachother.

    I am sceptical this anything more than yet another vague statement.

    Let’s see Trump ramp up sanctions against russia (including secondary sanctions) and provide frontline, anti-air and long range strike support.
