Z’s attempt to re-inject our bloody little mess into America’s consciousness has gone horribly wrong, as we anticipated on Day 9401. Maybe Uncle Joe can salvage our struggle for survival when the presidents meet today to discuss the Ukrainian president’s Victory Plan. Maybe not.
Donald and Speaker Mike obvi hate us for meddling in the 2024 US Presidential Election on Kamala’s side.
Could this screw-up have been avoided?
Yes.
Should this screw-up have been avoided?
Yes.
According to Trump, we are already dead2. We have been obliterated.
But back to Z.
…There’s no time for reasoned discourse and arguments. I only have the opportunity to think aloud in that way during interviews. I don’t do this with my subordinates and colleagues in the government. If I were to sit down and ruminate on every decision for an hour, I would be able to make only two or three decisions a day. But I have to make twenty or thirty3.
It’s bad enough to think the above, but Ukraine is stuck with the guy who actually said it in a raspy baritone voice.
Z has a wish list, not a Victory Plan. This is why we exist in Plan B.
Before jetsetting to NYC, he explained that Plan A was preventive and began before February 2022. Its goal was to strengthen Ukraine, initiate sanctions against Russia and prevent a full-scale enemy attack.
“To make Russia afraid of even the thought of a full-scale invasion. Therefore, we are already in Plan B, we exist and live in it,” he added4.
In other words, Plan A sucked. It didn’t work.
As for Z’s Victory Plan… reportedly, at least, it sucks, too.
Looking on the bright side, we weren’t blown to bits by Iranian drones this morning.
One landed in my neighborhood. Two dozen cars were burnt to a crisp. Lots of broken glass. I don’t think anyone was killed. As of this writing, Russian MiG 31s are reportedly launching Dagger (Kinzhal) missiles at Khmelnytsky region.

Getting nasty letters from people that hate you anyway is not something to lose any sleep over. If Trump wins, you guys are fucked anyway. If Harris wins, Z will be in a better position with them as he has campaigned for the Democrats in a state where the Ukrainian votes matter. If you can't see that, you're dumber than I thought.
