Going with the moron excuse is a choice.
Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

US President Donald Trump said that the United States had 'just about' ended a suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and that he expects good results out of upcoming talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia reut.rs/3DvLQUa
Trump says US has "just about" ended pause on Ukraine intel sharing
The suspension, which could cost lives by hurting Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian missile strikes, followed a halt to U.S. military aid to Kyiv.

"Art of the Deal"...appear tough then fold. Same happened against Canada and Mexico. US delegation is going to get eaten for lunch by the Russians. HOW EMBARRASSING.
The US tried to blackmail Ukraine in Munich: sign the mineral deal or no meeting with VP Vance, per European Pravda. When Kyiv sought a compromise, the US rejected all key changes. Zelensky refused to sign under pressure—suddenly, the hardline stance disappeared, and talks with Vance went ahead.

Most unqualified SECDEF nominee EVER.
The VA delivers care Vets love—and Republicans HATE that. Pete Hegseth, their latest tool in the war on Veterans, wants to privatize the VA and claims Veterans get “unnecessary” benefits. This isn’t about better care; it’s about dismantling what works. Veterans deserve better.

So much for #Trump solving this war "within 24 hours" of his inauguration.

Only thing he can do is abandon an ally fighting for its existence... which he'll definitely do.
NEW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated Russia's demand that Ukraine renounce its right to sovereignty and territorial integrity as a precondition to start peace talks, indicating that Russia is not interested in good faith negotiations.

See what Lavrov and Putin said today. There's a non-zero chance Trump can negotiate this war to conclusion. He'll cut off ALL aid and blame continued fighting on the defenders vs. the aggressors.
He promised everyone for 18 months that he would end the war in Ukraine less than 24 hours after taking office, so I guess there is only 3 more weeks left until it’s all over.
