The current Secretary of Defense, Pete Hesgseth, may be one of the most unqualifed
in US history, but this alcohol-soaked loser sure knows how to make a bold statement.
In reality though, Hegseth’s blunt and definitive declaration at the Ukraine Defense Contact group in Brussels, Belgium, that Ukraine’s intention to return to their pre-2014 borders is “unrealistic.”
Hegseth further stated that Trump intended to end the war by diplomatic means.
Right on cue, Trump himself later revealed on social media that he had a long telephone call with his pal Vladimir Putin, and that they intended to “start negotiations immediately” to end the war.
A shockwave of alarm subsequently reverberated all across Europe, because of the blunt talk from Dear President and his man at the Pentagon.
This is how Trump does business. Volodymyr Zelensky and America’s NATO allies are all on the outside, looking in, as the bull in a china shop, No. 47 does whatever the hell he wants to do.
The strong voices for a just solution to the Ukrainian conflict in Europe have been stood up and left completely empty-handed. They didn’t even get a shiny gold diamond ring – to not give back.
None of this is a real surprise though. It is well-known that Trump is an isolationist at heart, and he loves to turn down the heat, whenever it rises up against his thug authoritarian soulmates.
NATO and Zelensky must realize the true reality of the situation, and the situation is extremely bleak.
There are dark storm clouds overhead ready to break.
The USA is not the reliable ally that it was under previous administrations, and that sad fact, isn’t going to change in the coming months and years.
Well, at least, until 2028.
The world needs a solid, realible and pragmatic American president calling the shots for the Western alliance in consultation with this nation’s global partners.
Such a man – or woman – isn’t walking through the front doors of the White House while the putrid orange jellybean serves his term.
In the meantime…
Time is tight, and twisting into an unfathomable vortex.
Reality seems warped because reality is warped.
Zelensky and Western Europe haven’t a second to lose. They have to up their game and learn to rely upon themselves. It is time to forget about the American partnership on the world stage, that used to be, solid and true
Our once-upon-a-time allies have to retool right now, find their strength or slink away in defeat.
