The whole world knows that Trump is about to meet Putin for discussions about the war in Ukraine. Previously, Trump has shown breathtaking naivete about this conflict - even cornering and berating President Zelensky in The White House - as if he was somehow culpable.
Trump has surrounded himself with shallow and inexperienced right wing sycophants, throwing out intelligent time-served strategists who understand how diplomacy works. Trump himself may know a thing or two about making deals in relation to real estate and construction but such experience is hardly applicable in the serious business of effectively ending conflicts between nations.
Many think that the meeting in Alaska should not be happening because not only will President Zelensky be excluded but Trump appears to have done very little to gen up on Ukraine's recent history. He's a shoot-from-the-hip kind of guy, relying on his "very stable genius" to push on through. The simple fact that Putin was the aggressor, the invader and the occupier of vast swathes of Ukrainian territory does not appear to have registered in Trump's "high IQ" brain.
Before writing this blogpost, I tried to find out out how many people had been killed in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. How many Russian and Ukrainian citizens, how many Ukrainian fighters and Russian soldiers. Unfortunately, reliable answers were elusive but there is no doubt that thousands have died and thousands more have been wounded. Many thousands of Ukrainians have fled their country - seeking sanctuary elsewhere.
And who is to blame for all this misery? Who is really culpable? The answer is Vladimir Putin of course. There may be no blood on his smart suits and waxy complexion as he struts around vast marbled rooms far from the front line but it is him all right. He is to blame.
And so we come to my main proposition that Putin should be snared and arrested in Alaska. He is a warmonger and mass murderer. How can it be right that he should visit Alaska for diplomatic talks without facing the consequences of his brutality? Arrest him I say!
Would we have entertained Hitler for chummy peace talks in 1944 when World War II was still raging and concentration camps were in full operation? No! So bundle Putin in a police vehicle and stick him in an orange jump suit with manacles on his ankles and wrists and send him to Guantanamo Bay to eat lizards. That's how to end the war in Ukraine.
I agree with you. To keep my comment short and to the point, the convicted felon knows nothing about anything. He likes to strut around and pretend to know what he is doing and spout nonsense as though it were words of wisdom. He is extremely dangerous. That covers it.
ReplyDeleteHis head is so big it is like a balloon that has been inflated to its fullest volume.
DeletePud, I’m curious to know how much if Zelensky’s comedy you have seen. He does a fairly good stand up routine and also one where he dresses in drag. Also the TV Serioes in which he became the President was interesting, not as funny though. Your thoughts Pud?
DeleteHenry - I know that in his former life President Zelensky was an entertainer but he does not do a stand-up act now and he does not perform in drag. In my view, it is amazing how he has transformed himself into the determined, proud and intelligent leader of the Ukrainian people.
DeleteIn 2023, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued a warrant to arrest Putin for war crimes. The USA is not a member state which has agreed to enforce such warrants (unlike Canada, the UK, and 122 other nations). So, alas, Putin can safely set foot in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteForget The Law. Do what is right and entrap Putin today!
DeleteI' sure that many people would like to see you suggested solution take place.
ReplyDeletePutin has earned his own lifelong incarceration or firing squad.
DeleteI don't care how badly you want to end the war, the despot who started it does not get any type of reward.
ReplyDeleteUnless the reward is a trip down a long flight of stairs or out a high window???
Trump's moral compass is obviously very different - that is if he even has one.
DeleteI almost choked on my coffee! If Trump's brain is "high IQ" then surely mine qualifies for Mensa Membership 😂🤣. He must be the only person in the world to NOT know that Putin is the greedy land grabbing aggressor in that awful war. AND he's daring to say that Zelensky must be prepared to have his borders redrawn in favour of Russia.
ReplyDeleteOnly ManBaby thinks he has a high IQ. No evidence has ever been presented to prove it.
DeleteBut DT hasn't yet paid off his debt to VP has he?
ReplyDeleteDT sees business opportunities before human lives.
DeleteTrump is a fool and an idiot. Preening about. Each day is just worse and worse here. It is overwhelming, which of course is their plan. And if that Nobel Prize committee dares to give that fool the Peace Prize, I would choke. How can they not give it to Zelensky?
ReplyDeleteGive me The Nobel Peas Prize! I have always championed peas - especially mushy peas!
DeleteThe world is run by a set of dangerous, cruel comedians. The Trump family are out for themselves - rich pickings to be had in Russia.
ReplyDeleteAmericans call it grifting and Trump is a grifter par excellence.
DeleteThe west is already involved in a proxy war and we should be very careful in talks today ensuring that it doesn't become ww3.
ReplyDeleteWith a nutter like Trump in The White House, that is a realistic possibility.
DeleteYes, do that to the war criminal, but also the other criminal in attendance who should be locked up after committing so many crimes and fraud. That's the Felon, as Bob calls him.
ReplyDeleteLock 'em up in the same cell so that they can play hide the cocktail sausage together.
DeleteI totally agree with you. Putin should be arrested. The felon has a mind of a toddler in my opinion and this so-called meeting is a complete farce.
ReplyDeleteTrump has no gravitas, no sense of the tides of history. He lives in "Me" world.
DeleteWhy the USA's journalists along with the rest of the world's journalists don't just come out and start writing about the obvious lies coming from Trump's mouth and the obvious deterioration of his brain and thought processes is beyond me. This man is in no way up to the task of trying to deal with a world class war criminal in any way. Nothing good will come of this.
ReplyDeleteAmerican journalists were swift to denigrate Joe Biden but slow to reveal and comment on Trump's early onset dementia.
DeleteBrilliant suggestion Mr Pudding. I hope the policing powers that be in Alaska are reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteNo but KGB bots may be reading. Hi there Russians! Have a nice day!
DeleteIt's a nice thought, but of course Medvedev would start dropping nuclear weaponry ASAP. Not to mention Putin is probably covered by diplomatic immunity. (I know -- I'm no fun at all.)
ReplyDeleteHaving had fun times with the Russians upstairs, I guess you have become a Russophile Steve.
DeletePutin & Trump... two men whose obituaries I shall read with the greatest pleasure.
ReplyDeleteFew tears will be shed for either of these megalomaniacs when The Lord takes them.
DeleteOh dear, surely Donny won't go against his best pal, they've been such good mates for such a long time? Given the way they've both hung around for years causing chaos, I guess even the good Lord doesn't want them!
ReplyDeleteTrump seems to have a bizarre inner sense that he is special - above the level of ordinary mortals - and only other leaders of powerful nations are on a par with him.
