      Also, whoever most recently had his ear. Like last time at the Vatican, when he spoke with Zelenskyy.

    HCR has this one nailed down in one. Trump is at the point where it’s highly questionable whether or not he has the mental competence, as an 80 year old, to continue holding the presidency.

    The White House is not documenting everything he says they’re offering up edits. Where you can go to see how he truly sounds right now, unedited by his personal posse, is the UN speech he gave. He’s off the rails, mentally, beyond the usual.

    He’s not tracking, mentally. We are, or very nearly are, in Diane Feinstein territory.

    Ukraine flip is a piece of that. He forgot his stance, probably, and is now riding the inertia of his usual “fake it til you make it” personal algorithm.

      It’s at the point now where it really doesn’t matter what Trump says, and it baffles me the the media hang on his words… because it’s all a regurgitated word salad and he’s entirely in the moment with no filter. He’s a liability in so many ways.

      What he and his administration does, matters much more than what he says.

    Trump is all over the place on this war—one day Zelensky is his best friend and the next he can go to Hell.

      Just look at whoever he was most recently talking to. He’ll magically mirror their opinions.

        Is the Russian economy really in the toilet or is that what some actors want you to believe? They don’t seem to be slowing down one bit, if anything they are pushing even more, which doesn’t sound like a country struggling economically at all.

          Gas stations don’t have gas at all or it’s expensive.

          Any idea what happens to modern society after logistics starts to stall, even if it’s just civilian?

          They will keep pushing till they don’t.

            There was a gas shortage last year in the UK for a couple of weeks. Does it mean its economy collapsed for a couple of weeks?

            I really wish that what you are saying was true. But the reality looks different to me.

              Couple of weeks is nothing.

              Especially if it’s something that logistics and warehouses can prepare for. Like a labour strike.
