U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that his Russian counterpart “kept his word” by not launching mass missile and drone strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for a week has been met with bewilderment and dismay in Kyiv.
“I believe this is either a mockery of our misfortune, a lack of understanding of the situation, or wishful thinking,” Volodymyr Ariev, a lawmaker from the opposition European Solidarity party, told the Kyiv Independent.
The confusing saga of a supposed truce on striking energy infrastructure began when Trump surprisingly announced on Jan. 29 that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed not to strike Ukrainian cities for a week.
“(The pause) was for Sunday to Sunday,” Trump said the same day. “It opened up and (Putin) hit them hard… He kept his word on that. One week is a lot — we will take anything.”
. . .
In Ukraine, a week without a mass Russian missile and drone strike is not “a lot.” In fact, it has been a regular occurrence since the Kremlin started bombing energy infrastructure way back in October 2022, and simply reflects the amount of time it takes for Russia to prepare such attacks.
No. Trump is just a.moron with a hefty serving of dementia.
Look, I know how it seems. Yes, he’s about as sharp as a wet bowling ball. And sure, he showed obvious signs of sundowning on a steadily increasing basis. But please, please don’t forget that deep down, he also a completely heartless and evil man.
Yep , evil before stupid
The bigly exception to hanlons razor.
Nah, Hanlon’s Razor doesn’t cover this as his actions are not adequately explained by stupidity.
