Donald Trump āwill not give a pennyā to Ukraine if he is re-elected US president, the far-right Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbĆ”n, said after a controversial meeting with Trump in Florida.
āHe will not give a penny in the Ukraine-Russia war,ā OrbĆ”n told state media in Hungary on Sunday. āTherefore, the war will end, because it is obvious that Ukraine can not stand on its own feet.ā
and
Calling Trump āa man of peaceā, OrbĆ”n said: āIf the Americans donāt give money and weapons, along with the Europeans, the war is over. And if the Americans donāt give money, the Europeans alone canāt finance this war. And then the war is over.ā (This would likely mean Ukraine losing the war to Russia.)

Calling Trump āa man of peaceā, OrbĆ”n saidā¦
Funny, Nikki Haley and others of notable rank and station, who know Trump much better than Orban will ever hope, refer to him as a āman of chaosā.
Soon Orban, the court jester he is, will be referring to the Duke of Mar-a-Lago, my Liege.

Nah, Mr. President will do.

Putin is feeling cocky:
"The fact is that the militaries of Western countries have been present in Ukraine for a long time," the Russian leader claimed, referring to what the Kremlin says are mercenaries.
"But if we talk about official military contingents of foreign countries, I am sure it will not change the situation on the battlefield," he added.
So now he doesnāt care if NATO members deploy troops to Ukraine, so long as no US troops are among that number?

Election comedy in occupied Ukraine:
"Pro-Russian locals visit households with ballot boxes, accompanied by armed military men. If they knock and no one opens, they move on to the next house. They don't break into houses, but they do visit," the local resident said.
They added: "This is ridiculous. What kind of election is it when there are two locals - one holding a list of voters and the other a ballot box - and a military man with a machine gun? This isn't democracy. It's a comedy show."

Ukraine targets refineries, Russia continues to terrorize and target civilians:
The tactic of firing a second missile at the same location, aiming to hit rescuers, is known in military terms as a "double tap." Such strikes often hit civilians.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
