Allies Converge To Confront TACO Trump



Leaders of Europe's major democracies and the head of the European Union will accompany Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to attempt to get the Kremlin asset Malignant Fascist back on board after his groveling performance in front of war criminal Vladimir Putin in Alaska.  The unstable Malignant Fascist, who earned the nickname "TACO" for Trump Always Chickens Out through his off-and -on tariff misadventures, went to the meeting with Putin saying that he would demand a ceasefire, only to give Putin a red carpet welcome full of smiles, handclasps and flattery, with no ceasefire in sight and parroting the Russian thug's talking points.  It was Helsinki 2018 all over again, except with bigger stakes this time. 

Leaders of Europe's "big three" democracies -- France's Macron, UK's Starmer, and Germany's Metz -- are expected to support Ukraine's insistence on a ceasefire before any peace talks begin.  Late yesterday, the MF repeated Putin's script about "land swaps" which would give the Russians more land, about barring Ukraine from NATO, and about conducting lengthy and contentious peace negotiations before a ceasefire, something that would give Putin additional time to advance in Ukraine.  The allies also will have to deal with the MF's visceral hatred of Zelenskyy stemming from his failure to cooperate in the MF's 2019 shakedown of Ukraine that resulted in his first impeachment, and somehow make Putin that bad guy in the MF's eyes.  A tall order considering the MF's long, worshipful relationship with the murderous Putin, and the kompromat that Putin is believed to have over him.
