According to U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia “has been fine on Ukraine” and “hasn’t been doing much” to the country it has been attempting to violently conquer for over a decade.
“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven’t been doing much,” Trump told reporters on Oct. 19.
The president’s remarks came the same day that a Russian daytime drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children. The night before, Russia attacked Kyiv with over a dozen ballistic missiles and targeted nearly 30 critical energy facilities across the country.



At this point? I think one of the first political discussions I had with my father was that the US legal and democratic system are broken beyond repair and have been for decades now. It took Trump’s ideocracy to make it painfully obvious.
Arguably I think many countries have arrived or will be arriving at the threshhold of functionality. So far the only two remedies that history provides are revolution or utter capitulation after losing a war. Let’s hope we find another less violent yet systematically equally disruptive solution. I for one cling to the believe that there’s still hope.
I would absolutely welcome being wrong and that there’s a chance to fix things, but in my heart of hearts, I subscribe to the John Gustafson Sr view about hope.
I say the solution is relentless prosecution of the traitor party
On the remedies, I agree that it’s necessary but I have my doubts about the rest.
