EA-War and Politics 24 VideoCast: Can Ukraine Hold Off Kremlin Manipulation of Trump’s Envoys?
EA on International Media: Will Trump Go to War with Iran?
I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Monday for a 38-minute takedown of the global damage and ineptitude of Donald Trump and his envoy, “jumped-up halfwit” real estate developer Steve Witkoff.
We begin with the Trump camp’s threat of airstrikes on Iran. I set out the “Sword of Damocles” approach, mobilizing warships, missiles, and fighter jets in an attempt at the Iranian regime’s surrender of its nuclear program.
That takes me to an initial dissection of Witkoff’s failure to understand why there is no regime “capitulation”.
We move to the fourth anniversity of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with no sign that the Kremlin is giving up its demands for Kyiv’s surrender — and its attempted manipulation of Witkoff and his fellow envoy, Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
It’s back to the real estate developer for his proclamation that he finds Vladimir Putin “honest” and his upset that the “silly war” continues, apparently unaware why Ukrainians would persists with the silliness as ==- in contrast to eight meetings with Putin — he has never visited the country during the invasion.
You want to sit there and complain that you’re the victim because people don’t reach agreements for you and your boss?
You do that, but don’t you dare call people who are fighting for their lives and resisting invasion “silly”.
If you are going to call them “silly”, have the decency to say it to their faces, you jumped-up halfwit.
I shift my focus to Trump for the ridiculous — his empty bluster that he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland — to the more ridiculous of his tariffs shambles.
