Tea and Vitriol

First of all, The Donald never solved any wars that he has taken credit for, which doesn't stop him from repeating that lie. Perhaps he hopes that if he repeats it enough it will become fact. We know that he is a narcissistic megalomaniac and a blowhard, ready to speak his mind in season and out, refusing to be influenced by the facts. Which means that he is delusional as well. Secondly, while he can bully weaker countries (most larger states do, whether or not you care to admit that), he has run into brick walls with China , India , Brazil and now Venezuela , who are not cowed by The Donald's tariff antics and saber-rattling. India, in particular, has faced The Donald's wrath for NOT bowing down to his demand that they cease purchasing Russian oil . They have been offended by The Donald's statement that India is responsible for the war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil and therefore keeping Russia's economy able to continue its military campaign. Never mind the fa...

 During President Trump's re-election campaign, he stated that he could end the war in Ukraine in one day. He didn't. But he could have. After his inauguration, President Trump could have told Russia's President Putin to stand down and submit to a peace deal of America's devising or risk the US providing Ukraine with unlimited money, war materiel and means of mass destruction, giving Ukraine permission to use such weapons against Russian territory and civilian targets. Just like Russia is doing to Ukraine. Only he didn't. Instead, Trump demanded that Ukraine come crawling to him to beg his intervention and accept whatever peace plan Trump and Putin would devise, regardless of the long-term consequences. Even worse, President Trump agreed with Putin's demands regarding the end of the war and the future of Ukraine, which would ultimately result in that nation's absorption into Russia and the extermination of Ukrainian culture. Which is NOT within the interests...

Ragnarok, or the Twilight of the Gods, was a central theme in Norse mythology. It was preordained and all of the actions of the Norse gods centered around preparing for the final battle between good and evil. The universe would be destroyed, including Midgard, the home of we mere mortals. From the ashes would then arise a superior race of beings, greater than the gods and above the concepts of good and evil. Let's fast forward to the present time. The Trump regime in the United States has been promoting an agenda of isolationism while at the same time reserving for itself the right to interfere in global affairs where it suits them. Most Americans support most of these actions. And most Americans know that, despite his rabid patriotism (which we need after four years of Bidenism), The Donald is an abrasive, megalomaniacal loudmouth who demands his own way. Woe betide anyone who refuses to capitulate before his bullying, because he IS the most powerful man in the world, and he knows...
