Trump is in talks with Russia to end the war

[putnam6]

Goodbye to our "Special Relationship".

The US has undone that and the free World, too.

Champagne corks popping in the Kremlin.

But some seem blind to this.

"Special relationship" LOL oh noes what will we do without the special relationship with the UK if you are done after 80 years best to find out now, instead of later. 

The free world will likely be just fine and I know the US will probably be as well

Now all that's gonna happen is the Kremlin is preparing to continue to pound eastern Ukraine further and further into the mud and then they get to rebuild it as they choose. 

not ideal but it is the reality ...

I didn't say 'hundreds of billions'.   I said $100 billion.   That's accurate.

No, you did say: "Us paying hundreds of billions in an unending war in your backyard ..."

And, I didn't shout.

Saying I did when I didn't ... THATs rude.  

Shouting, as in typing in capitals?

I didn't shout at anyone.

I did one post where I emphasized with capitals certain words that were missing.

But no shouting intended.

Nothing was AT anyone.

Sad, so sad.

"Us paying hundreds of billions in an unending war in your backyard that you should be paying for ... us getting the shaft from you all (your word) ... that's not a 'special relationship' for us.  It's just us being used as an open bank account."

Hundreds of billions.

Sad, so sad.

Yes, that attitude is taking it one step beyond Trump's goals.

One has to wonder what Trump's (and his unelected co-ruler, Musk's) goals might be.

Same as Putin's, it would seem.

Putin's goals seem to be getting back to the glory days that was once the USSR.

Trump, it is mused, has a psychosexual thing going on with Putin or men that exude power and strength. Even lately Trump took his entourage to a wrestling match and asked them which body was the best. Men's bodies on his mind? But I digress, Trump's goals change with the wind, so who really knows?

Eeeeuw...let's not go there...

Hundreds of billions.

We've paid one hundred billion ... as I said.

It WILL be hundreds of billions if Europe has it's way ... gives us 'the shaft' (your word) ... wanting us to foot the bill in an unending regional war on the other side of the planet.

We say ... NO.
