"The vision of Trump’s world takes my mind back to George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” (1944).

For those who may not have read the book..."

Anyone who hasn't read, and more importantly, understood the book and its companion '1984', really doesn't have a claim to understanding the 20th century. But clearly, if Banjo thinks he sees Trump in Napoleon (the pig, not the frog) then he's in the group that didn't understand it.

"Trump denounced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, then...."

Where Banjo sees chaos, others see a coordinated plan to force the parties to the negotiating table. Zelensky had grown used to the US simply throwing money and supplies at him whenever he whined. Trump has now disabused him of that notion.

Banjo also seems to misunderstand DOGE which may be the process that salvages US democracy. The corruption that already been unearthed and the monetary savings already achieved are astounding. The bureaucratic state, the deep state, operated with impunity and squandered America's wealth. That is now all being opened up for the world and, more importantly, the US taxpayers to see....

Examples:
* Minor but indicative. "The VA cancelled a $56,000 contract to water ~8 plants for 5 years. This is ~$1400/plant/year. The contract has been canceled and DOGE will water the plants free of charge."

* Major. The EPA has found $20 billion given out in the dying days of the Biden kleptocracy for unknown purposes to unknown and sometimes fictitious NGOs, all connected to Democrat operatives.

The US is in debt to the tune of $36 Trillion. We now know why. Trump and DOGE and all Trump's lieutenants are working to reverse that.

Of course those who benefited from the old ways are screaming. And some, for partisan reasons, are sympathetic to wailing.

Other interesting developments.....

"Polish Prime Minister Tusk has announced plans for large-scale military training for all adult men and expanding the army from 200,000 to 500,000 troops amid rising security threats in Europe."

For context that means having a standing army of 500,000 AND a trained reserve of 800,000. I wonder what Poland is trying to defend against?

The Polish government is also considering whether to start the process to get nukes. They are also looking at withdrawing from conventions against cluster bombs and landmines and have proposed increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP... a rapidly growing GDP.

Poland suffered severely at the hands of the Rus Empire in the 20th century (anyone remember the Katyn massacre?). They don't intend to suffer in the 21st century.

“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED. To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!”

Putin responded that he's anxious to have ceasefire talks. Go figure!

Of course, Trump talking tough to Putin will be very confusing to those of a certain leaning.

"This is Syria
This is backed by US"

In fact, this is the new Syrian government seeking revenge against the Alawites community who, through the al-Assad regime, ruled Syria for decades.

Here's more of their tender mercy...

The enmity between the Shai, Sunni and Alawites has been going on since the 7th century, but apparently, according to AC, its al the US's fault... and of course the Joos, who are to blame for everything that is wrong in the middle east.

There's not much AC won't fall for.

To the best of my knowledge, mhaze, no evidence of “corruption” has been unearthed so far.

That includes the two cases you mentioned. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing. They are simply government decisions that don’t please some people.

That seems to be the case of the Trump administration, which has the power to cancel them, just as the previous government had the power to authorize them.

Hi mhaze
"This is Syria

If you had've clicked on the link provided, you'd have seen I was quoting the tweet.

"In fact, this is the new Syrian government seeking revenge against the Alawites community who, through the al-Assad regime, ruled Syria for decades."

I supported Assad. I don't support regime changes or sanctions.
How many times do I have to state my position?

The new Syrian government was the one Israel had been conspiring to put in place via US foreign policy since the war in Iraq you geopolitically illiterate fool.
HTS was receiving training and funding via the West.

Here's another link for you.

Its no wonder I roll my eyes so often.

Ukraine.

I could argue back and forth, but ultimately i told you all years ago, Ukraine would lose this war, and Trump has nothing to negotiate with, Russia has non-negotiable aims and they will achieve them.
It doesn't matter whether you like it or not.

Hungary's Orban was the first EU leader yesterday to state that Russia is winning (even with US support). Without US support they're just delaying the inevitable.

Oh and btw there's between 4700 and 6300 Ukrainian forces are surrounded in Kursk: See below:

Good luck with that.
