It Doesn't Seem That Long Ago That A...

Towards the end of a recent AB thread some have said how arrogant I am to claim that Trump speaks complete nonsense; well here is a video for you to judge for yourself.
The video is of recent Trump nonsense, mostly what he has said on the campaign trail in his (successful) bid for the presidency – likely statements his voters believed to be true.
It does not include Trump’s claim that the noise from windmills causes cancer, or his suggestion to inject people with disinfectant to cure covid.

Possibly. But when one of those idiots is the President of the country which is largely bankrolling one of the combatants, people need to take notice.
Almost all of wars such as this end with some sort of compromise. I don't see any reason why Ukraine should compromise on anything but the alternative is to continue to fight a war which they probably cannot win whilst seeing enormous damage and costs being inflicted whilst they strive not to lose it.
In such circumstances, he who pays the piper, whether he's an idiot or not, may eventually end up calling the tune.
I do find it quite amusing the way the left on this site dismiss Trump as an idiot given (possibly) they haven't achieved much in life in terms of riches and power. It seems to me to become the president of the most powerful nation on the planet is such that Trump absolutely cannot be described as an idiot. Odious possibly (and personally I find him quite odious) but certainly he's no idiot.
We're straying a bit, but re. Ukraine: as I've pointed out elsewhere, at the outset, or a month or two into it, Elon Musk said what could happen is that Russia should hold Crimea (as they had for 300 years) with the fresh water supply guaranteed by Ukraine & the disputed Donbas regions should have a free & fair referendum, maybe conducted by the UN, on whether they wanted to join Russia or Ukraine, the result to be binding.
Musk is now very close to Trump who admires him greatly. So I think that will be more or less the plan.
Putin will save face (& can be dealt with later) & Ukraine will have independence.
I've said this before but I don't think you got it, Hymie. Yes he does say a lot of idiotic things, but maybe he is being really clever and deliberately choosing to say idiotic things because he knows that nonsense and idotic points are what his supporters and potential supporters want to hear. And maybe he's laughing at people who are calling him an idiot.
Try if you will, to imagine any leader: Starmer, Sunak, Macron, Scholz, Putin, having a bullet pass an inch from their skull & ripping off a piece of their ear & killing a man behind them.
Covered in blood with the security guards trying to hold them down, but dragging themselves upwards & raising their fists and shouting in defiance,"Fight-Fight.-Fight!". And - he's 78 years of age !
Trump is an extraordinary man, brave, with chutzpah in spades, that is why the majority of the American public voted for him & he fully deserves to be their leader.
Hymie: Go .... yourself.
