What's this? Another "deal" from The Deliverer of Kabul?

Shameless abnegation of the security guarantee represented by the US nuclear umbrella, in reliance upon which Ukraine de-nuclearised in the interest (as was thought) of de-proliferation & British & US security.

The Budapest Memorandum. A promise. Giving rise to a promissary estoppel. A contract.

Golfboy Don disregards contracts, because he holds the Rule of Law in contempt.

I've assumed some version of Krasnov or kompromat or something coercive but lately it just seems like this fool Trump is obsessed with his "Nobel Peace Toy" and the KGB agent Putin knows how to play him. Trump wants another easy fake win and Putin says "Easy! Give me what I want and I'll stop the assaults". The fool can't even look in the rear view mirror and see that all his phoney deals are just various evil political actors playing him. Like "the Gaza cease fire". #SlavaUkraini

Congressman Representative Eric Swalwell spoke at our #NoKings protest rally today. He gave a great talk. I was fully into the moment didn't record much. I did meet him, shook hands. I did say please fight for Ukraine too. He said to me #SlavaUkraini #GloryToUkraine

Russian invasion of Ukraine: why I believe it will be over soon, with Ukraine winning clearly
https://wargamers.social/@oldladyplays/115365508400226222

This thread by @oldladyplays is, in my opinion, a solid analysis. It's backed by a frank assessment of contemporary events and historical events. The projected timeline is more optimistic than I had anticipated, though I think this is a well-reasoned hypothesis. Furthermore, history tells us that when a fragile empire starts to crumble, events can move at a startling pace.

I've always been hopeful that Ukraine would repel the invasion by Russia (even with the shamefully limited support from allies). From the moment Russia invaded Crimea, it's been clear that it's only a matter of time before the Russian economy will fail under Putin's mismanagement, cronyism, and hubris.

Ich bin ein großer Liebhaber von Musik. Ich kann alles hören und fast allem etwas abgewinnen. Das heißt ich liebe Rock, Pop, Rap, Disco, Schlager, Russische, Türkische, Arabische, Japanische usw. Musik. Natürlich bin ich auch selber Musiker gewesen. Aber nicht mehr aktiv. Daher liebe ich alle Kulturen und Staaten, die Welt an sich, außer Kriegstreiber-Staaten wie z.B. aktuell Russland oder Israel. Daher #SlavaUkraini #freepalestina Die Menschheit braucht keine Fascho-Diktatoren/Tech-Milliardäre

I'm not saying that Vlad brainwashed Donald using techniques he learned as a KGB interrogator, I'm just saying that if Donald had a dog he might accidentally name it Scopolamine.
