A Tune for the Times 0

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

When Putin announced his plans to ‘liberate’ part of Ukraine, and unilaterally declared sections of Ukraine to be independent nations, Trump praised Putin for being “smart”, “savvy” and “genius”. If given a second term, Trump would have withdrawn from NATO and would have allowed Putin free rein to march unimpeded into Ukraine. That’s what happens when the Russians have ‘kompromat’ on a sleazy US official like our former president.

Mangy Fetlocks wanted to call out some of the ramifications of the ‘genius’ move that Putin has made, as Trump was busy labelling American diplomats and officials “dumb”. Only a sociopath like Trump could make such a call.

A bayonet is not a scalpel.
