Day 1078
Golden Age of Brown Noses
About two thirds of the way through their smug, precious, longwinded yet toweringly idiotic press conference, by two of the the smarmiest living humans – during which Donald re-asserts that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and Hamas would not have attacked Israel had he been president, that being the sort counterfactual wu now applauded by the cold eyed strategists of the next American empire — so chipper, so blithely moronic – I concluded that both men should be replaced.
Donald’s “Riviera of the Middle East” development plan announced yesterday sounds even weirder than the proposal under which Ukraine pays America for weapons and ammo in rare earth minerals.
Team Russia dropped a laser-guided bomb on Izium in Kharkiv region yesterday. Five people were killed, scores wounded.
Someone obvi has read the brief about Z’s January 2020 vacation in Oman.
The war will end when/if western leaders decide to punch Vova in the face.
Azov defender Kondrashev talks about 800 days in prison, Black Dolphin.
The US Senate Intelligence Committee has voted Tulsi’s nomination out of committee, which means you should stop sharing secrets with Team USA yesterday. RFK, Jr’s, too. Next week — Kash.
On the Ukraine jacket, Z on Tuesday told Piers Morgan:
"In the first year of the war, Ukrainian citizens took out of Ukraine only officially, only in the first year of the war, $35 billion. $35 billion! And no one could stop them. It's their money, it's their rights, they are free. But they also transferred their accounts abroad - to Europe, to the United States, to other countries. Yes, our economy collapsed. And one of the reasons was precisely this - the withdrawal of large capital from Ukraine.”
The president also criticized Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator” who has banned free elections, saying that the former Fox News star should “stop licking” Vova’s ass and working for the Russian leader.
Many Ukrainians would agree and also think it’s a bad idea for Z to brown nose Donald.
Andriy, head of Z’s office, and Jonathan Powell, National Security Adviser to the British Prime Minister, have agreed to coordinate efforts in cooperation with the U.S. administration.
"We have agreed on positions to continue the dialogue, in particular to support the implementation of the centennial agreement that the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Great Britain signed on January 16 ...We also agreed to coordinate efforts in cooperation with the new administration of the United States of America," the head of the President’s Office messaged on Tuesday evening.
Coordinating efforts in cooperation with… This could mean almost anything.
Keith is expected to arrive in Ukraine soon after February 11. It is anticipated that Trump’s envoy will meet with Z to discuss key issues related to US-Ukraine relations and efforts to:
build national unity,
conscript draft-eligible men,
build defensive fall-back positions,
clean up Ukraine’s defense ministry, and
produce more weapons and ammo domestically.
He’ll prob also ask about combat immunity for Ukrainian military officers recently charged with dereliction of duty and suspended US-Ukraine intelligence-sharing arrangements.
