Ukraine leaders are still spewing bullshit
NATO leaders are venting hot air.
American president is name-calling- for all he's worth.
It's amazing how everything stayed the same!

Donald Trump can't stop praising Vladimir Putin.
At a campaign rally in Georgia over the weekend, the former President, again, praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The smartest one gets to the top," Trump told the crowd. "That didn't work so well recently in our country. But they ask me, 'Is Putin smart?' Yes, Putin was smart. And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. I said, 'That's a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.'"
Trump added that Putin made a "big mistake," but that "it looked like a great negotiation."
That all sounds a lot like what Trump has been saying about Putin almost since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius,'" Trump said during an interview with conservative radio hosts last month. "Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine -- of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful."
The very next day, Trump said almost the same thing.
"They say, 'Trump said Putin's smart.' I mean, he's taking over a country for two dollars' worth of sanctions," Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, according to a recording of the event. "I'd say that's pretty smart. He's taking over a country -- really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in."
Then, in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference several days later, Trump tripled down. "Yesterday reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart," he said. "I said, 'Of course, he's smart,' to which I was greeted with 'Oh, that's such a terrible thing to say.' I like to tell them, 'Yes, he's smart.'"
Don't overthink it: Trump keeps saying it because he believes it.
We saw time and again during his presidency that Trump is attracted to the strength and unapologetic nature of authoritarian rulers like Putin. It now seems pretty clear that Trump meant what he initially said about Putin.
Trump's praise of Putin then is a feature, not a glitch. He says it -- and keeps saying it -- because he is genuinely admiring of the supposed might the Russian president is showing in invading Ukraine. It's that simple.
Never forget that during a photo-op with Putin on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Japan in 2019, Trump said this of the media: "Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn't it? You don't have this problem in Russia but we do." To which Putin said: "We also have. It's the same."

Trump says Putin is smart.
OH THE HORROR!
CNN knows that telling people who aren't smart and watch CNN will rile up their pea brains.
Trump will be your President again in less than 3 years.
Tick Tock

Quote:Tick-Tock of the clock before a Glock fires three shots into Trump's fat head. Splat! But on the brighter side, there will be either an eternal flame burning at Trump's grave, same as JFK's grave, or there will be a Trump Memorial Golf Course clubhouse built out of marble, same as the Lincoln Memorial.

No one will win in the Russia-Ukraine conflict

'Most people have a preconceived notion that there will be a clear winner and loser from any war. In their view, the world economy will go on, much as before, after the war is “won” by one side or the other. In my view, we are basically dealing with a no-win situation. No matter what the outcome, the world economy will be worse off after the fighting stops.'

The West seems content to respond with economic/political sanctions, and a lot of bluster. The thinking is prolly to let Russia have the Crimea as a form of border security. The government in Kiev, OTOH, seems to want to ramp things up. They have been consistently calling out the Russians, claiming one thing after another- only some of it true. Now they're taking things one step further:
Ukraine's Military Mobilizes, Prepares For Combat: Trucks, APCs, SAMs, Tanks Rolling Out

We have all been lucky so far that troops have not actually fired at each other. However, if the Kiev government shoots first and the Russians shoot back, we may ALL become involved in a war thru a series of interlocking alliances.
Oh, and in case you didn't know, about a week ago the Russians test-fired an ICBM....
Funny...
