Perpetuating Lies

DONALD TRUMP, at a recent MAGA rally, made it perfectly clear: if he had been president, Putin never in a mmillion years would have invaded Ukraine. He was screaming at the time, and really didn't say much more about exactly how he as persdient could have and would have deterred or stopped Putin. Trump is smart enough to never give proof, evidence, or details. His lies are big, vague, and wholly unsopported, after the fashion of Joseph Goebbels and the NAZI propaganda machine, very similar, in fact, to Putin and the Russinas in general with their big, obviously false lies. Some experts, indeed, believe that Russia's recent statement of intent to abandon its participation in the International Space Station are nothing but rubbish, more Russian lies, intended mostly for effect, not substance. Trump's asssertion that Putin would never have attacked Ukraine if Trump were president is laughable, ludicrous, and, as usual, the opposite of the truth. What we the American saw for four years under Trump was Trump incessantly kissing Putin's ass, acting like Putin's little puppy dog. Putin played Trup like a puppet, and it was embarrassing, humiliating for the United States, at least for the real Americans who see Trump for what he is. Hell, had Trump been president, Putin would have attacked Ukraine with no complaint from Trump whatsoever. Trump would probably been opposed to send any help, military, medical, economic, to Ukraine, and Congresww would had had to force him to do so, unless a Republican Congress agreed with Trump. IN point of fact, within a few days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Trump, the former president, praised Putin for being "very savvy, very smart". Wow, that's really standing up up against Putin. Trump, the fighter for justice. What a joke, for that morally and mentally depraved moron (Trump) to talk big at this point. Recent polls indicate that fifty nine percent of Republicans still believe the "big lie", and anybody who does so at this point is really locked in, not likely to change their false belief. The Trump disease, like the pandemic, is still very much with us. It hard to say which one we (human society) are more desperate to eliminate.
