At least Kruciff left.
The filth with at least average intelligence usually do because they are embarrased. The obliviious retards never do

No. I'm okay with this. I don't want any more of her bullcrap sullying my thread. lol
Also, a NYT opinion column written by someone who writes for the New Republic? Really? lol Go away.
Those broken-minded libs actually think New Republic is mainstream thought since thats what their little echo chambers say.
I figured that out years ago. I'm too "in the know" (because of my journalism background) to know better anyway.

Mentally, they're stupid two year old children. That's how they've always been.

Yep. They'll include Trump and Musk in every conversation, even if the conversation doesn't include those two men.
Misery loves company. Their entire life is on the socials. They are like the weirdo gym guys. Once they walk out of the gym they go back to parking cars or bussing tables and are nobodies again. In the gym they feel like super heroes. That's why you see them every time you go in there. They never leave.

Are you saying OST, or "Baby Hair Guy" as I call him, is of average intelligence?
I mean OST does occasionally surprise me with a semi-nuanced argument, but then he goes and ruins it with, as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith once sang, the "same ol' story; same ol' song and dance." Which is why I say he's just brainwashed, maybe even to the point of no return. But stupid? No. He's not stupid.

Among its key points: “no aggrandizement, territorial or other”; “sovereign rights and self-government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them”; “freedom from fear and want”; freedom of the seas; “access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for their economic prosperity.”
The charter, and the alliance that came of it, is a high point of American statesmanship. On Friday in the Oval Office, the world witnessed the opposite. Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s embattled democratic leader, came to Washington prepared to sign away anything he could offer President Trump except his nation’s freedom, security and common sense. For that, he was rewarded with a lecture on manners from the most mendacious vulgarian and ungracious host ever to inhabit the White House."
I thought about the meeting producing the Atlantic Charter after watching the botched news conference.
Churchill was savvy and solicitous about gaining American cooperation - the opposite of Zelensky. Trump was abrasive and aggressive - the antipode of FDR.
Churchill walked away securing the goodwill of the USA (the most powerful nation on earth) while Zelensky left empty handed. Zelensky should have tried harder since his nation had the most to lose.
That's a fair take. You kind of reminded me of the Zimmerman/Martin incident. Two people doing stupid things and one ends up dead and one has his life ruined.
RE: Opinion article. Trump and Zielinsky and leadership
Z thought that he was back in Ukraine where he has absolute power. He found out differently. That sucker has changed his mind twice already about signing the REM deal and he still thinks he has credibility?
Trump and Vance had to treat him like "some" parents treat their daughters when the daughters get all teenager-like and scream "I hate you, I hate you" and in some cases cuss at them, like Z did to Vance. Afterwards, the parents send them to their room and in Z's case, back to his hotel room. We'll have none of this petulance, said the president. Come out when you're ready and especially when WE'RE ready for you.

The only petulant little children I saw were Vance and Trump.

No - one has nothing to do with the other. What yesterday was was an attempt by Trump to have his fragile ego stroked once again. In Trump's ego centric world he would invite the media to record him reducing Zielinsky to pleading tears. Then force him to eat McDonald's hamburgers like he did in members of his staff. When that didn't happen, like when you stand up to a bully, Trump became enraged. That's when the petulant opportunist, JD, steps in to squirrel points with his on version of nastiness he knows a gangster appreciates, before Trump concludes the fiasco with "this will make great TV." Trump has no better plan than himself. He's not a complicated person. He's a person who has literally no self reflection and he's never grown beyond an unaware child. That's the level Trump exists at and trying to assign anything more complicated or, God forbid, better motivated, has proven over and over to the wrong.
This.
