    First create a scarce, then resume deliveries and have others pay for them.

      The tariff threat is bizarre. We buy more from Nicaragua. Since 22 our trade with them has plummeted.

        The Moscow stock exchange went up almost 3% following Trump’s announcement.

              Hadn’t considered this but it makes sense. A woman born in Yugoslavia is going to know who the Russians really are

                  Methinks Melania did NOT forget how she was portrayed in Russian media.
                  She probably knows better than anyone else how to 'redirect' Donald.

                        Kremlin responds to Trump’s statements of the past 48 hours:

                          I think that he's trying to highlight that NATO still has the capacity to give Russia a bloody nose and Kaliningrad would be a particularly bloody nose."

                            The Kremlin on Monday neither confirmed nor denied that a visit by the U.S. envoy would take place this week, saying only that it was “always glad to see Mr. Witkoff in Moscow.”

                            I’m sure they just rejoice when Trump’s trusted hand picked amateur diplomat, Mr. Dimwit, shows up at the door. Not only good for laugh or two afterward but makes for great fodder for domestic lampooning of the USA and the Western democracies in general.

                              This is already embarrassing you just know he’ll get rolled again. A megadose of flattery and Putin’s off to the races while Trump tells his buddies “no really guys, I’m serious, the stripper really liked me’.

                                Here in the USA, we see and read more about Ukraine's victories and Russia's losses, yet here is where things currently stand:

                                https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/09/ukraine-zelensky-trump-russia-meeting/

                                Ukraine controls only a small toehold in Russia’s western Kursk region. Russia, meanwhile, controls around a fifth of Ukraine’s sovereign territory.

                                    Further proof that Trump really no clue as to what’s been going on:

                                    During the press conference, Trump added that he was "a little bothered" by Zelensky's words regarding "constitutional approval" for land swaps as part of a potential peace agreement.

                                    "He's got approval to go into war and kill everybody, but he needs approval to do a land swap? There'll be some land swapping going on," Trump said.

                                    Does not get it….not at all.

                                      Putin expected to play the torturous history lecture card tomorrow in an effort to zombify Trump and US officials:

                                      Russian leader Vladimir Putin is likely to lecture US President Donald Trump on the Russian version of Ukrainian history in a bid to justify his invasion, according to Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation on Thursday….

                                      In its Thursday update, the center stated that Putin is preparing so-called “historical materials” for the US president to justify the Kremlin’s position that Ukraine is a so-called “artificial state” that should not exist.

                                      “These are geographical maps that, according to Putin’s plan, are supposed to prove to Trump that Ukraine is an ‘artificial state’ formed at the expense of the territories of other countries,” the update says.
