Trade deal with a crime syndicate, no thanks. Concentrate on trusted partners

This just enrages me;

Speaking alongside El Salvador president Nayib Bukele, Trump once again took aim at Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyyinstead, saying:

“The mistake was letting the war happen. If Biden were competent. And if Zelenskyy were competent -- and I don’t know that he is, we had a rough session with this guy over here.”
“You don’t start a war against somebody that’s 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.”

On Putin, his tone was distinctively different as he argued:

“And you take a look at Putin -- I’m not saying anybody’s an angel, but I will tell you, I went four years, and it wasn’t even a question. He would never -- and I told him don’t do it. You’re not going to do it.”

Ultimately, he concluded that Biden, Zelenskyy and Putin are all at blame for the war:

“And Biden could have stopped it, and Zelenskyy could have stopped it, and Putin should have never started it. Everybody’s to blame.”

"Very fine people on both sides."

So he did actually slip and admit that Putin did start the war then?

What war? I thought it was a Special Military Operation and they reached Kyiv within days?

Not sure how existing fleet will be kept going without spares?

What a total mess this is turning into

My decision not to travel to the U.S. this year (or foreseeable future until sanity has returned to the other side of the pond) is looking vindicated.

Was considering a trip next year to see relatives but really couldn't stomach it. Think they're coming over here instead and we'll meet them in France

My brother and I have long been planning a West Coast to East Coast road trip. Next year was our initial date but now it'll be whenever Mango Unchained has left office.

If he leaves.

Boeing share price down 1.5%; Airbus share price up 1.5%.

What lovely symmetry.

I take a lot of Americans to the O'Hare, Midway & South Bend Airports. If they are traveling to Europe I tell them to say they are Canadian and learn the Canadian National Anthem. About 99% of Americans don't know the lyrics to the Canadian anthem.

We're looking at Canada instead. Or, failing that, Canvey Island.

They’ve recently changed:

…
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
So f*** off Trump, and die.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
