[Extracts from DT’s unhinged declarations on 19 Feb about Ukraine:]
“But today I heard: ‘Oh, well, we weren’t invited.’ Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”
“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. We have a situation where we haven’t had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he’s down at 4% approval rating and where a country has been blown to smithereens. You got most of the cities are laying on their sides.”
“Russia does not intend to destroy Kyiv, if they had wanted to, they would have done it. Russia is capable of wiping out Ukrainian cities 100%, including Kyiv, but right now, they are only attacking at 20%.”
“Russia wants to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism [sic].”
[And more during the joint session with Emmanuel Macron, on 24 Feb.]
“I don’t use those words lightly [when asked whether or not Putin is a dictator], we’ll see how it all works out.”
“The European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it.”
[With the newspeak winner about the January 6 rioters’ pardon]
“I pardoned J6 people who were assaulted by our government. They didn’t assault. They were assaulted, and what I did was a great thing for humanity.”
[All these quotes were recorded before the 28 Feb deliberate ambush of President Zelenskyy set by the boned spurred Agent Orange and his hillbilly Iago, reaching the all-times nadir of US international relations…]
Ukraine was invaded three years ago…

It has been three years since Russia invaded Ukraine with the purpose of recovering USSR territories and resources, and putting in place a puppet government, under the pretexts that the current Ukraine’s government was dominated by neo-Nazis (!) and perpetuating a genocide in Donbas. With further arguments that the “West” (or NATO) was preparing a war on Russia. Ukraine’s resistance was unexpected by the invaders and put a stop to the notion that a few day Blitzkrieg would topple the Ukrainian government. Forward three years and the difference in numbers and resources has made Ukraine’s resistance stretched and desperate. The return of the Orange Menace and his pretence at achieving deals on every matter is making the outcome of the war even bleaker as the Trump administration shows no empathy for Ukranians (among many others!). Especially if Trump pulls the USA out of NATO altogether. In this case, it is alas hard to imagine EU sending (enough) peacekeepers to Ukraine, and even harder to imagine they could oppose further Russian attacks and crimes, as shown by the failures of UNPROFOR in ex-Yougoslavia, in particular Bosnia…
