President Zelenskyy is holding the Ace cards and has the winning hand in the ruthless war game that Putin started. Putin keeps playing his "Trump Card" - Donald Trump - to stall the outcome and prolong his war. Putin simply cannot afford to lose! Trump's use of US proxy power is self-serving as his real estate broker deal-makers, masquerading as diplomats, are working for a "PIECE DEAL" and have no interest in peace in Ukraine. Putin will prevail as long as he plays Trump and feeds his need for greed. The love of money truly is the root of all evil for the "Unholy Trinity" Trump, Putin and Netanyahu 😈😈😈

I want to party like it is 1999…When, if I predicted to you, Jay, in those innocent times that that Manhattan playboy, Hugh Hefner meets Morton Downey Jr. in the flesh, Donnie from Queens was going to make like the biggest G.O.P. Crasher from hell and our beloved party was going to nominate Donald J Trump for President of the United States not once, but twice, and then after all his winning, the crony capitalist pig would lose an actual presidential election then rerelease The Art of the Steal (ghost written by this super rich Friends guy Steve Bannon)…and incite a pure white trash and attack upon our sacred Capital, where and when The Dons sicko fans would actually chant, within ear and eye shot of President Duterte, I mean Trump…HANG MIKE PENCE!…and then all of the rioters would become dubbed “PATRIOTS” by a man in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office …and all live to be pardoned for it…You would have said, yeah right, and the Greatest American Hero Bruce Jenner is going to declare himself a woman and he will be celebrated again “Caitlin” will be celebrated, again, like a hero at the height of the Cold War.

Alls I would like to have asked Robert Conquest then is what I always wished Churchill would have done BEFORE his Great Wall speech…could we, would we have averted so many murders f Churchill had made like Michael Corleone and just shot Stalin when he met him…and not break bread with a monster, like our mobster Don King Trump is willing with every evil powers that be…because Don King Trump loves to play “lets U.S. make a deal”, and if you don’t play along, The Don will have you whacked…because like Putin, he’s got the biggest, baddest toys to play with…God HELP U.S.! Gotta run on. We the Living in Kakistocracy. Thanks for taking my rant to the next level.

Excellent column. Thanks for keeping, against formidable headwinds, Ukraine’s fight front and center. And sending me down a Robert Conquest rabbit hole.

Cheeto Kompromat: The Ghost Of Epstein

In a Comment section GingerLee brings up a great insight into Cheeto the Traitor If Cheeto would go to great lengths to have his DOJ cover up his past lascivious dark story so as to stop it from coming out domestically why wouldn't he do it at an international level as well?

In 2006 Cheeto told Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter "Thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this" After his 2008 sex charges and serving time Epstein knew he had the goods on Cheeto This is why he had wielded so much control over those who associated with him They were on tape forever He had records on everyone

Of course being betrayed by his BFF, Epstein began his first encounters with Russian officials in 2011 and he could have spilled the beans on Cheeto Epstein was as much a malignant narcissist as Cheeto That’s why they bonded so well with each other

Epstein being the revenge type was incensed not only about Cheeto’s incriminating statement in 2006 but also about Cheeto's underhanded land grab of a property he was purchasing In 2004 he had innocently shown Cheeto who then funded a purchase outbidding Epstein with Russian oligarchic money Since that time Cheeto has been traitorously deferential to the Russians and would be yet another attempt at coverup The scumbag pedo Cheeto trying to constantly cover up his past lustful deviant and perverse sexual escapades are coming back to haunt him The ghost of Epstein lives on

Stopped reading at the first “Cheeto” as I suspect most do. Grow up.

Just calling a scumbag that he is a derogatory name as he chooses to use name calling his "cute" joke, eg Newscum Little Marco Pochahantas This guy doesn't deserve to be called Mr President I reserve that title for those who are honorable and not pedophilic fraudulent grifters Perhaps you need better discriminatory executive skills

How about "Trump"? Perhaps you need fewer derogatory skills. Be like him to defeat him?

In many respects, Ukraine is the Spain of the late 1930s where the new techniques of warfare are being tested.
