pootie is happy.

there for a hot minute seemed (always seems to be, but never reality) that there was a possibility of a concept to a maybe solution to a potential idea for a seize fire-ish in ukraine.

but you know, the coked up orange squirrel got his panties in a wad over Greenland (via one of his staff psychopaths) and away everything and everybody in the world went.

the stinky ass orange giant bumbling around the earth in a dementia haze over the newest shiny object via his half track mind forgets all about Ukraine.

pootie is just so damn happy to join his "peace board" as long as the short attention span goldfish is promised a billion bucks...which pootie has no intention of ever ponying up.

meanwhile the poor people of Ukraine still suffer daily from that fuck in russia.

are causing the world such problems.

But if they were to promptly fall dead, other villains would probably step in to take their place.

I’m of the mindset that the conditions would facilitate the rise of another despot in the absence of the actual historical figure. For example, if Hitler had stayed an artist, some other authoritarian would have stepped into the breach - perhaps one with better military skills and less superstitious & batshit insane.
