While that didn’t happen and Ukraine wasn’t sold out, Putin still appears to have got the most out of the encounter.
He secured the meeting, notwithstanding being a wanted man for war crimes, and was greeted on American soil as a friend, not the leader of a pariah state that invaded a sovereign neighbor.
And he got all this without agreeing any major concessions, including a ceasefire, beforehand — and left Anchorage without having committed to a truce either, despite Trump saying during their joint press conference that his Russian counterpart is keen to save thousands of lives. Apparently not that keen.
Trump is weak, inexperienced, and does not know how to deal with Putin or a strong enemy.
ReplyDeleteTrump isn't weak. He's a businessman dealing with politicians.
ReplyDeleteYou might be strong in business, learning, and sciences. Assuming you have no boxing or wrestling experience, as soon as you enter the ring, you are weak. If you appoint advisers you have picked to lie to you and to say what you want to hear, then you will not be effective in dealing with warfare or conflict.
DeleteWow so if he decided to do brain surgery you would excuse his failure because he is only a business man. He has no ability to deal with dictators he admires or to deal with the economy or other issues. Even as a business man he has not shown any great ability. His ability is entirely being a con man.
DeleteObama was a politician. He tried to give Iran the bomb. I'd rather have a businessman who might pull off a deal than a politician who gives everything away.
DeleteWow More MAGA lies Just like he created the Epstein files and ran a ring of pedophiles in the basement of a pizzaria and George Washington had a force of F35 jets
Delete“Ukraine wasn’t sold out” Beautiful a victory in my opinion. Allow me

וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן, מַאי טַעְמָא? דְּתַנְיָא: ״לֹא תֹאכְלוּ כׇּל נְבֵלָה לַגֵּר אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ״, כָּל הָרְאוּיָה לַגֵּר — קְרוּיָה
שֶׁאֵין רְאוּיָה לְגֵר — אֵינָהּ קְרוּיָה נְבֵלָה.
And (as for) R’Shimon, what (is his) reason (for ruling that a detrimental flavor is permitted? It is) as was taught in a Braraisa: (The Torah States Deuteronomy 14:21) You shall not eat any Neveilah (An animal that died without a proper ritual slaughtering) To the (non-Jewish) stranger who is within your gates you shall give it that he may eat it or you may sell it to a foreigner. (This implies that) whatever (is) fit for (consumption by a) stranger is called a Neveilah (and is prohibited – but) whatever is unfit for (consumption by) stranger is not called a Neveilah (and is permitted)
Wow R’Shimon permits just detrimental flavors imparted from non-Jewish (or Jewish cooking whatever) cooking of actual bacon whatever. R’Shimon is being lenient here.
If someone brings home to the kitchen and opens a steaming Papa Jahn’s pizza while the wife is cooking Shabbas cholent; to R’Shimon the Chulent is still kosher. The evil Putin who started the war is stalemated. Who will win: stay tuned.
