Day 1264 War in Ukraine

After having spent a half-year trying to end the war between Ukraine and Russia, Trump returns to talking about how easy it will be.

Very interesting. Trump considers Viktor Orbán of Hungary to be a useful source of information on the Ukraine-Russian war.

Trump makes a number of statements indicating that he really doesn’t know much about Ukraine. He even repeats the BS story that what stopped the Russians in the early days of the full-scale invasion was mud

Russia’s economy is doing very poorly. Putin really needs Trump’s assistance.

Blogger explains that Trump is completely taken by Russian propaganda concerning Ukraine. Russia very much needs the US. Europe has some decisions to make.

Georgian accounts have been silent the last few days. “Which could be nothing or it could be everything.”

GEN (ret) Keane is pro-Trump, but actually has a clear-eyed view of Ukraine-Russia.

Russia’s willing to declare the war over, as long as none of its troops are withdrawn. Ukraine would then be the recalcitrant one.

Russians hint they’d like Alaska back.

Zelenskyy speaks to the Canadian Prime Minister.

Germany planning industrial expansion in Ukraine.

Azerbaijan allocates $2 million for humanitarian aid.

Europeans with clear-eyed views.

Lots of Russian stuff blowing up.
