Vladimir Putin 'spits in Trump's face'

A Maxmars 'inferential' answer 

 Once upon a time....

<A Siren of fate and friendship>  "You may 'Moderate' with us..."
 

Max reaches into his heart... and thinks...

Of course, it actually comes out as...

Then Max steels himself... centers his focus...

Max feels "confident" and "ready to try"...

Confident and ready:

<fate conspires....>

 

Members post... all is well...

Until......

But... but...?

Max thinks, and thinks...
he thinks, thinks, thinks...

How to address a question which packs multiple layers of baggage into one giant thought...
Like a Gordian knot, unless you can slice the knot... loosening it takes infinite time.

I'm not allowed to cut... it would be rude and presumptuous as I don't know everything... and people still often think of moderators as 'not' an interested member.

So 'answering a question with questions' is kind of annoying way of avoiding the awkwardness of people feeling like any of my responses are "staff" responses....  I tire of reminding people that moderation is not power... it's responsibility.

Oh... Inner peace....

Or perhaps you meant this Master Po...

Is that Kung Fu Panda?

I loved those movies, used to sit and watch with my daughter when she was little, that and "The Land Before Time," which she also loves. 

As to answering questions with questions, well, a good question is often more powerful than a perfect answer.

Especially if it opens space for discovery....

So now Trump wants to dump Europe as long term allies because he prefers Russia.

"Also in the Politico interview, Trump claimed ideological divisions now threatened to fracture Washington's alliances with Europe. Asked whether leaders who he viewed as weak could still be allies, he replied: "It depends", adding: "I think they're weak, but I also think that they want to be so politically correct. I think they don't know what to do." The president's remarks came after his administration released its new 33-page National Security Strategy, which warned of Europe's potential "civilisational erasure" and questioned whether some nations could remain reliable allies. Russia welcomed that strategy - which did not cast Russia as a threat to the US - as "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision."

Cheers, mate.

Russian puppet confirmed.

Hard to fathom how a nation that has around 1,700 strategic nuclear warheads.

Many of which will be targeted at specific U.S. sites and cities.

Could be considered to be anything but a serious threat.

You would be surprised how many past presidents held talks with and cooperated with the Soviets behind the scenes.  This president seems to be looking for a peaceful solution to the conflict.

I'm sure quiet diplomacy was far more common than public rhetoric suggests.

But im also sure past presidents still recognised who the real enemy was, and treated them accordingly.

Kennedy was so pro-peace and cooperation that many think it was part of many reasons why he was assassinated.  Smarter heads, not MAD VLAD screamers.

No, I wouldn't.

As I'm well aware of the history and how Kennedy operated.

And the alleged claims linked to his assassination.
 
Mad Vlad is a perfect name for Putin.

Fits him like a glove imho.

FYI, same "smarter head" responsible for negotiating the Cuban Missile Crisis, so...

None of which changes the fact that Russia targets most U.S. cities with nuclear warheads and is indeed a clear and present danger.

Here is the real roadblock to peace, shocker, it's not Trump or even Zelensky, it's the Brits

Zelensky was on board with Trump's plan until he met with Starmer this week.




Just more proof of gravy-train grabbing - worrying about losing their graft game.  On the corpses of women and children.
