The (rhetorical) question now is does this come from ignorance or something more sinister?

Yup remember James David Hamel or James Donald or whatever he decides to call himself next went to Yale for law school and has a B.A. from Ohio State in Poli Sci.

He isn't dumb he is manipulative and he knows his audience is dumb.

Something more sinister. They still think they can bully Ukraine into just giving the Donbas and Russia will be friendly during the rest of Trump's term (3 years of time to rearm) and we'll live happily ever after.

This is the US administration, the fucking United States is saying this shit. I should've known after the Iraq invasion that the US is just another form of Russia.

And at this point I'm even considering whether the US and Russia are fuelling this war to keep their economies going just like the cold war era, to the detriment of everyone around them

Proxy-licious.

Muddling things this time 'round are the ambitions of the far Right extemists from Israel. USA is being torn from different directions, iver-stret hing itself as usual, as it crumbles from within.

As Bernie reminds us- them ultra-wealthy though... cushy on both sides.

Neither, just indifference. These are not serious people but we expect them to be serious people. Now in a different vernacular we have elected the biggest assholes we could find an expect them to govern. We’re painfully finding out how that choice is working?
