[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[SouthSaxon]

Meloni's been onside .
I'm pleased the Baltic leaders have been involved,- if anyone in Europe requires reminders of what's at stake, they can provide it.

Yeah, I was worried when she first came to power. So far, concerns have not been realised, from what I’ve seen.

It's interesting to see the Turkish foreign minister in the meeting. I hope that Putin would have preferred he wasn't there, rather than pleased he was.

Turkey would be a very useful addition to a joint European defence force. And if it came to it, could use access between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, as a lever on Russia.

For sure, strategically very important - could help blockade the Bosporus and threaten the Caucasus region.

And they have a big military

As I found out when I cycled down the wrong road; one road led to the boatyards and the other to a Turkish Navy station where a big bloke with an AK47 told me to "Siktir git"

This embedded tweet from @realDonaldTrump reads as if it was written by someone else, writing about Donald Trump in the third person.

Is he having an out-of-body experience?

Weird . Is realdonaldTrump actually him?. He probably has a team of ghost writers.

It's an hour long but fascinating insights.

Theyre the words of someone who's desperately trying to convince themselves that they didn't lose the last hand. No matter who wrote that tweet it makes Trump sound pathetic and desperate and its obvious that he's come to the realisation that he came out the loser from his meeting with Zelensky. He gambled and lost with the strategy he used.

And they really don’t like Russia.

I reckon it's actually him, and he used the wrong account.

He pretends to be away on his golfing vacation, but he doesn't play much these days as he's knackered. He's really back at his desk.

He meant to use @socialmediapaofrealDonaldTrump or something similar.

I think you are absolutely spot on.

Who the f*** writes on their own social media profile in the third person?

Looking at that tweet a little more closely', the words are obviously those of Trump.

'But here's the genius part...'
'This prevents Russia from launching an invasion...'
'Trump played both sides like a master chess player...'
'Don't underestimate Donald Trump. in this game of chess, he is 10 moves ahead of everyone'.

The first, third and fourth extracts are his oversize ego at work. The second one is more troubling. It's as if he doesn't appreciate - or forgets - that Ukraine has already been invaded by Russia - and that was three years ago.

Hes a democrat, but hes not wrong is he.

Can't be him. Surely the real Donald Trump would have mentioned Hunter Biden's laptop?
