Like him or hate him, one thing is for sure, Donald J. Trump is a man of his words. He doesn’t mince them either. He doesn’t say something and does the exact opposite. He means what he says and he says what he means. When he is falsely accused of hating women by the liberal media, he doesn’t go into unnecessary details blabbering how much he loved his mother and that her portrait holds center stage behind his desk at the Oval Office or the kind of doting father he is to his adorable girls. Not Trump. He simply makes a slight correction-‘Only Rosie O’Donnell!’
In his first term after being thoroughly briefed and advised on the sad state of governance in Africa, he downgraded the continent from his lists of priorities and dismissed any kind of heads on engagement with the leadership. When reports leaked that he had characterized African Nations as shitholes, unlike Nixon, he didn’t try to put a kind face to it doing all sorts of word gymnastics. ‘That is what all of them think of Africa,’ Musevin had observed afterwards, ‘only this one is honest about it and I like him a lot.’ In his second term he was even more blunt and specifically addressed the leadership-are you really human, living off the sweat of the brows of your own dying nationals?
1-Scolding and shushing Zelensky like a school boy
When the chief jester of European courts, Vladimir Zelensky, was being noisy about the Riyadh meeting between American and Russian delegations he was told to shush-literally. He was told after mindlessly squandering multiple opportunities to amuse his EU sponsors and Biden, he is no longer a voice to be heard around the peace venue.
Listening to Zelensky, sometimes I wonder if he isn’t indeed a school boy in a grownup man’s form. His idea of being a ‘cunning leader’ is trying to play Trump and Putin against each other on a personal level. Only middle school kids do stuff like that. He tells Christian Amanpour how much Putin is afraid of Trump. If there is any fear in the bones of the former he would have been afraid of Biden and Co. who had slapped Russia with 20,000 sanctions. He didn’t. He worked out means to manage and play down the effects. Zelensky took American support for granted. He assumed he could hold Trump hostage to the hollow Imperial threat from Russia for world dominance and get him to shell out another 200 billion dollars. Trump’s answer was classic MAGA. You owe America 500 billion dollars- so pay the f… up!
I wouldn’t be surprised next, if Trump orders his chief of staff not to let in ‘that Zelensky fella’ unless he is dressed like a man. Dear old Zel goes around wearing T-shirts and ankle high camp boots and tries to pass for a rough and tough guy but his own country man- Poroshenko -says the man is a repetitive coward draft dodger.
2-You had started the war and you are going to suffer the consequences
These past two days, I was kept busy by the liberal media. They aren’t yet done nursing the pain of losing the presidency to the Republicans and in no ambiguous terms Trump tells Zelensky that he was the one who had started the war. Further Zelensky was reminded that having started the war he was reckless about the tragic human loss and walked out of the Istanbul peace initiative pandering to the inflated egos of the war mongers in Brussels.
It was a blow d from which the likes of CNN and MSNBC will not be able to recover so easily. For the first time the standard intro-Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine- is withdrawn by non-other than the leader of the Free World.
Even we, here in the wilderness of Africa, were denied to surf alternative news outlets like RT. ‘Only we are licensed to tell the truth and you have no right to doubt our reports’ we were told and just like that the channels were taken off air. Now let the bloodhounds try to take Fox off the air.
All the USAID funded 6,200 journalists, 707 media outlets, 279 media focused NGOs and their innumerable partners worldwide aren’t allowed to report anything slightly divergent to the established and unilaterally sanctioned narrative that ‘Russia had invaded Ukraine without being provoked’. They aren’t allowed to write about the Minsk Agreement which was revoked by Ukraine at the behest of the EU. Any attempt to reference the inglorious and primitive ‘cancel Russia’ campaign or the Orange revolution and the subsequent coup is out of the question taboo subject- so much so that the World is on the brink of forgetting the original bloody war between the Ukraine and the Donbas separatists preceding Russia’s involvement.
Now another narrative is being constructed. They are saying Ukraine had given up its nuclear arsenals counting on the security guarantee from NATO. Nah, implicitly the West wanted only the successor state to the USSR to become a sole nuclear power. Rightly so, since back then Ukraine was an undisputed ally of Russia and a member of the CIS up until the color revolution soured the relation of the two east Slavic brotherly Nations.
The fact of the matter is even since Ukraine is taken over by the liberal west and it has long ceased being a Sovereign Nation capable of deciding on its fate through its duly elected representatives. If you ask me it is a clientele NGO country in the service of the deeply entrenched dark and powerful global interest groups.
3- No, we have nothing to fear either from Russia or China but we are indeed afraid of you
In the event you have missed the MSC speeches- that was Vice President J.D Vance. Remember the memorable scene from ‘The Terminal’ where Tom Hank’s character refuses to abide by the treachery of the AirPort Chief’s manipulation to get him walk out of the terminal and land in to the waiting hands of the ICS? The Chief tells him ‘even if you don’t have a valid visa, you can explain to the judge there is revolution back home and that you are afraid to go back to your country’ and Hank’s character says under no circumstances is he afraid of his own country, revolution or no revolution and adds’…but I am a little afraid of this room.’
I swear to God the Vice President sounded almost like Victor. He was addressing the MSC. He is no Orban or Slovak’s Fico. The participants were ready, open mouth and all, to listen to unqualified tirades against Russia and Putin. About Putin’s imperial ambition as evidenced in his express regretful declaration that the dismantling of the Soviet Union was a geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century (incidentally how many times have we heard this alleged statement of Putin’s?) and Poland and the Baltic Republics are the second courses on his menu after Ukraine blah, blah….Vance takes the podium and eloquently addresses the Security mejelis. Instead of berating Russia and Putin, he lists the crimes of European leaders. He reminds them of the botched elections in Romania, Moldova and Germany at the instigation of the EU. The black listing of Conservative parties across Europe and the trend to blame every election lost by the liberals on some hundred thousand falsely registered Russian social media accounts.
‘The United States has nothing to fear from Russia or China. But we are afraid of you!’ he says and all those supercilious despicable Euro leaders egging on Zelensky to fight until the last Ukrainian sink lower and lower into their respective seats.
God Bless.
