War in Ukraine

Little Marco says Russia lost 60,000 KIA in the moth of July. At the same time, somehow the Russian arm grows larger by the day and advances remorselessly forward having taken 40 square miles in the last 24 hours alone. When interviewed Jesus exclaimed, “Damn! Best I could do was raise one dude from the dead at a time. Putin must be raising hundreds of thousands!!! How the hell does he do it???”

Trump is starting to sound like a bad record. Seems like an amateur when it comes to foreign policy. Apparently starring on a bad television show (and repeatedly saying the words "You're fired!") does NOT adequately prepare one for the most powerful job in the world. Who knew?

 

You don't maintain a set of nuclear missiles and spend $800B a year to defend yourself against a "strategic rival". Russia has been an adversary since 1945. The U.S. in 1945 believed in freedom for Europe. The USSR in 1945 believed in subjugation for Europe. The U.S. believed in international law. The USSR believed in "might makes right". Gorbachev was probably the only Russian/Soviet leader who saw things like the rest of the world did: that up to that point in time, the USSR had been on a campaign for world domination with total disregard for the other 190+ countries.

 

I thought that Trump’s meeting with Putin wouldn’t accomplish a thing other than Trump stroking Putin a bit by recognizing him as an apparent worthy peer. Kinda thought perhaps it was to rub Putin’s nose in the whole Alaskan purchase back in the day. But… when I saw footage of the B-2 stealth bomber with four escorting stealth fighters flying low over Putin I thought that was awesome. If nothing else comes out of that summit, that image is a great one.
