The tangerine toad has struck again.
According to the Guardian, he's of the opinion that the battlelines should be frozen in place, and each side just keep what they've got.
Among other chestnuts from his latest tantrum was the golden line: “You stop at the battle line, and both sides should go home, go to their families.”
Imagine telling Ukrainians to "Go home." Where does he think they live?
It gets better.
"You have to be a little bit lighthearted sometimes.”
Indeed. While coddling a megalomaniacle dictator bent on genocide, one has to look on the light side of things doesn't one?
Needless to say, there will be no tomahawks for Ukraine.
This is all in advance of his meeting in Budapest with two of the world's other Most Loathsome Leaders, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orban. Doubtless they will jack each other off while dividing Other People's Territory between them, and call it peace. (The "Piece" cliche is, sadly, all too appropriate here).
The plan to stop the killing by giving the killers everything they want already has some support amongst pieceniks like Simon Jenkins of the Guardian. (Potential spoiler: "Fuck Ukraine, Suck Putin's" has been the entirety of his analysis since 2023).
It won't work. Putin will only play ball if he can keep everything he's stolen, and Ukraine will only agree if someone can guarantee he won't take any more, which no one will. So it's a dead end all around.
Putin will not stop. The murders will not stop. And Trump will not get his Peace Prize. Sorry bub.
