I've almost completely given up on TV news. Certainly for Ukraine.

Trump and his republican lapdogs just lie about everything, and Biden before him sprayed out well meaning fluff that was never acted on properly.

Please stop.

This drunken idiot should not be taken seriously.
He's a sick joke.

If he got on horseback it would just look like late-stage Henry VIII.

My own guess, just a guess…

Unless things get a lot better, (they won’t), republicans scared of losing their seats will be looking for any excuse to distance themselves from him.

Including getting shot of him entirely.

Trumps poor health would let them pretend it was done out of kindness.

I don't know - I'm still surprised that the secondary sanctions on energy sales got through, and if they stay, I'm happy.

Trump doesn't seem aware they happened.

I get the feeling Rubio is smarming to Trump's face, and getting things done despite him.

I could be very wrong though.

Not sure exactly, but I THINK that Trump is effectively not controlling the Ukraine scenario.

Sanctions continue despite him, Republicans are repeatedly working around him in congress, side-lining the speaker.

If sanctions are weakened, I'll worry.

Does this look like a man in control?

I really doubt they have working nukes.

The USA budget to keep theirs operational is more than the entire Russian military budget.

Their new tanks can't make it around red square without breaking down. Missile test was laughable.

Better question: Who has their fissile material now?

Also I see absolutely NOTHING about Russia's seizure of western companies, and their assets.

Not sure about disappears...

Though I could see it shrinking spectacularly to something a quarter the size maybe, centred on Moscow and St Petersburg.

Also look at the way Ukraine strolled into Kursk, pretty much unopposed, and largely welcomed.
