And why it won’t

Although politicians are in general not very intelligent, even the most dull-witted has probably noticed that things have changed significantly since the creature Trump won the US Presidential election back in November 2024. Wishful thinking and pure delusional fantasy have both turned out to have no power against reality, and it’s starkly evident that Trump has set out to destroy whatever was left of the Western world order. Flattery and appeasement of the orange mental cripple only encourages Trump to behave even more destructively. It’s time for a change. Even journalists have begun to notice that the sensationalism they peddle for profit has taken a somewhat worrying turn.

The USA now votes with Russia and China and North Korea in the United Nations. The USA is now overtly doing its very best to hand Ukraine to Putin as quickly as possible while telling the millions of MAGA morons that this is a “smart & stable genius peace plan.” If peace means turning Ukraine into one vast gulag in which millions of people can be raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered, then Mirriam Webster would do well to update its dictionary. In addition to defining brutal torture as “enhanced interrogation” during the Baby Bush years of illegal invasions, it’s now apparent that “peace” means “horrific murders on a nationwide scale.”
