Trump is — very slowly — coming to the conclusion that maybe Putin has not been truthful with him about wanting to stop the war. Ukraine has done an excellent job in this Kingergarden diplomacy exercise, by playing along with Trump’s games, and letting Putin slowly reveal himself as the megalomaniac killer he is. We will get there. 🇺🇦

Trump enters the Vatican: No reaction. Zelenskyy enters the Vatican: Applause.

In the Vatican, a statesman is discussing Ukraine’s future. Trump was there too. Let the day of Pope Francis’ funeral be the funeral of all Putin appeasement too.

This gives me hope: Republican Senator Grassley indirectly calls Trump a fool for having a naive Ukraine strategy. They are not taking Trump’s Putin friendly leadership anymore. Good sign.

Another Republican politician reaches the find out phase: George santos sentenced to more than 7 years in prison.

US standup comedian Jena Friedman did a trip to Vancouver, Canada, and when flying back to Los Angeles, USA, she was asked by a US customs agent if she “made fun of politicians”. Now would be a good time for US journalists to interview the management of US customs in LAX airport, and ask if this US customs agent made a mistake, or if this is the new Trump dictatorship protocol to have customs agents check if comedians exercise their right to free speech before letting them back in to the US.

Trump was going to take the Panama canal, but then that failed, and he was going to annex Canada but then that failed, and he was going to take Greenland but then that failed, and he was going to give 20 percent of Ukraine to Putin, and now that has failed. Because Trump is an absolute failure.

This is how real the war is in Europe: Denmark has called up its young women for mandatory military training and is now in the process of expanding it's navy with — 6 additional armed frigates for The Danish Navy — 5 Arctic patrol ships — 21 patrol ships for The Marine Home Guard — 4 sea surveillance ships with sea mine laying capability — 1 underwater surveillance vessel — underwater drones This is in a country of just 5.9 million.

Putin has abducted 20,000 Ukrainian children. As a reward, Trump wants to give Putin 20 percent of Ukraine. It is time we tell Trump: Hell no! 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺🇳🇴🇮🇸🇦🇺🇳🇿🇯🇵🇺🇦

And there you have it: As predicted, Trump now blames Zelenskyy for his failed peace negotiations. In reality, Zelenskyy is only stating what is international law: Crimea is UN recognized Ukrainian territory. No matter how long Trump fantasizes that he can give Putin Crimea as a morning gift, in the reality everyone else lives in, that is not possible. Putin has stolen a peninsula which is home to 2.4 million Ukrainians. Those homes will be liberated and returned to their rightful owners.
