This Is Not “Read My Lips.”

Forward: First, if you never read “Art of the Deal,” you should doubt your ability to critique Donald Trump’s strategy on anything. This is especially true of the Parakeet Press, but really anyone. Did Zelensky read it? If not, I submit this as ample evidence of stupidity.

President Trump keeps saying “This war never would have happened had I been president.” It is absolutely true. But I think he’s making a bigger (if simple) point that most miss. President Trump sees the world transactionally, and he is right to do so.

President Trump’s point is simple, so simple that we instinctively overcomplicate it. A war happened. The world is irrevocably changed. There is no going back. Had he been president, it would never have happened. Period. That sounds like he’s bragging, and he may be, but there’s more to it. The philosophy behind his tactics/strategy is implicit. He would have communicated via whatever appropriate channel for any given issue, signals to Russia and/or Ukraine that would have prevented war. His mere presence in White House would likely have been enough. Great, so what’s the point of saying this?

Joe Biden lied all day all night. American leftists never cared, and those on the right became desensitized to it, helpless to cause honesty to break out. From graduating top of the class at a law school he never attended in a historically black college that doesn’t have a law school, to having nothing to do with his son’s business, to having sushi lunch with Jesus Christ himself just last week while little black boys massaged his finely red-haired legs by the swimming pool, defending the vulnerable and helpless from the scourge of Corn Pop, Old Joe had stories to tell!




If everyone is honest, the war can end quickly, and with enduring peace. That’s the point. Of course, all this can apparently happen only with Donald Trump, and that is a bad thing for this world. We need more peacemongers! And who, among the US pantheon of politicians, I ask, is honest? Maybe there is more than one. Maybe. But I know one. And he is Donald Trump. Now that he is there, and the message is peace, it can happen, but everyone has to be honest. I’m looking at you, Zelinsky.

How in the hell can any leader take this guy seriously or trust what he says? Well, they don’t. It is not possible to give a stumbling, drooling, spaced out, barely aware elder in diapers the respect needed by the office of the presidency. So they don’t. As long as USAID sends the funds, they don’t need or care about the words that dripped off Biden’s chin. Russia, one assumes, was not a US aid beneficiary, even from USAID, so all they had were words, and when a US president speaks like a 4-year-old spouting fantastical stories, well, I can’t imagine that inspires trust. “Just send the check, Joe.”

What does the world do when the leader of its “free people” lies constantly (often without intent, I’m sure), and his VP pledges to change the world order they all so proudly pretend to defend? Invading a country violates international norms. Ok. So would moving NATO next door to an unwilling and adversarial country. Each maneuver shifts borders for all practical purposes. If Putin was wrong to invade, then Harris et al. were wrong to make NATO threats. The difference is that when a serious person who speaks truth tells you his red line, it is a red line. When habitual and cavalier liars tell you a red line, you have no reason to believe or respect it. Thus the Biden-Harris regime is responsible for this war, as much or more than Ukraine or Russia.

What Ukraine has on its soil is a proxy war between American liberal leaders and Russia. It looks now, after the greatest unforced error in diplomatic history, like Zelinsky chose to side with America’s liberal elite, while conservatives offer a path to peace after the deal was done and just waiting on some ink. Holy crap. Again, I offer this as ample evidence of stupidity. American liberals lost the last election, and corrupted the one before, ascending to office sans mandate. They are not good advisors on what America’s interests are. Relying on the people who started the war in Ukraine to be good stewards of Ukrainian interests is a stupid as it gets, but it appears that’s what Zelinsky did.

Donald Trump is honest. Love him or hate him, even democrats who wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped them in face have stopped calling Donald Trump a liar. For the first time in the modern era, Ukrainian and Russian leaders (and the rest of the world) have the option of taking a US president at his word. Sadly, Zelinsky is captured by American leftism. After gobbling up billions of our tax and debt dollars gleefully shot out like a cash cannon at Larry Flynt’s, he had good reason to maintain loyalty to the left. Unfortunately, like so many Americans, Zelinsky is/was too dumb to analyze Donald Trump himself. He clearly drank the Democrat kool aid, and since I actually get that analogy, I see images of dead Ukrainians littered with red cups in my head. I wonder if Zelinksy bothered to read any books written by Donald Trump about how he makes deals before he went to the White House to fuck up a deal with Donald Trump.

President Trump sees the Ukraine situation transactionally, as he likely sees the whole world. He’s not wrong. Seen as a transaction, Russia “invested” enormous resources for its security. That investment includes a pile of bodies that totals hundreds of thousands at least, just on the Russian side. Add the cost of the war materiel and the opportunity cost of years of doing anything other than fighting a kinetic war. Russia gained territory (for now at least) as a result of this investment with some sense of enhanced security. The occupied areas may be viewed as a bit of a DMZ, if not necessarily finally decided to be Russian territory in perpetuity. But Russia sees that land as a buffer from NATO troops if nothing else.

Zelinsky’s perspective is childish. How childish is it? Well, Russia went to war. No counter occurred that that would preserve Ukrainian territory or, frankly, sovereignty. Going to war is res ipsa loquitur not retreat. The very act of war is the rejection of anything the invaded had to say about anything. Saying that Russia should retreat for moral reasons may or may not be correct, but it is ineffective and impertinent – stupid and childish. The only suitable outcome for Zelinsky is Ukrainian victory. He thinks Russia should retreat to its pre-2013 borders, apologize, and pay reparations.

In one sense, Zelinsky is not wrong. Maybe I need more research, but Ukraine is in this position because of geography, not because of any geopolitical differences with Russia. So there should be no change in borders. Right? I’m sure the hatred between Russia and Ukraine is real now that the war is hot. But Ukraine is in this position because of the American left, and tragically, Zelinsky does not understand or appreciate the depth of the loss the American left was just handed. He probably believes they care about him and “have his back.” Sucker.

The geopolitical problems are between the globalist Hillary Clinton branch of the West and Russia. Ukraine just happens to be in the unenviable position of being Russia’s nearest Western border neighbor. American Conservatives have no serious geopolitical issues with Russia. Some take issue with Putin himself on certain things, but the country of Russia is not as geopolitically adversarial with us as Hillary would have you believe.

Maybe correct that the borders should not have changed, Zelinsky’s position is nonetheless nonsensical. Fighting a war is the opposite of security, which he says he wants. Imagine the mental gymnastics: “All my men are dead. All my ammo is spent. All my money is gone. I lost much territory. Billions in aid went missing, and we’re selling donated weapons rather than fight with them. Now for my demands! I want the United States to provide and pay for security, through NATO. Once that is in place, I will declare myself the victor of the war!”

Props to him for having balls enough to try to make stupid sound palatable. But it is truly stupid and childish. 

Over the years I wondered why we would invade Iraq and then give it back. If the United States must pay for Ukraine, why is Ukraine not the United States? 

Donald Trump sees this all transactionally, and my God, I’ve been starved for this my entire life. The American leftist Parakeet Press is publishing stories hinting that since Europe is now making noises about combining forces to defend Ukraine, that Trump’s diplomacy failed. Stupid. If Europe steps up its defense cooperation with Ukraine, I say “mission accomplished.”

The whole point about the “big beautiful ocean” is that Russia is not a next-door security threat to the U.S. To the degree Russia is a security threat, it is such in Europe far more than the other side of the Earth. Chicken Littles cheeping about Putin’s burning need for global dominance are nothing more than warmongers in chick costumes.

I read an article in Ukrainian news today, and the author stated that it is now clear that the U.S. is aligned with Russia. Stupid. I guess when the world is forced to deal with liars all the time, that everyone assumes everyone is lying all the time. But we, the world, need to be insightful enough, and sadly brave enough, to see truth when it arrives. We must be able to judge individuals when necessary. Donald Trump did not fit neatly into either American political party. The Republican Party, however, is the only one in which Conservatives were not totally ostracized.

Trump remade the party, and it is now a party made up of Conservatives. But the point is that Trump should not be viewed as Republican or Democrat. He is Trump. A party conformed to him. Democrats require party loyalty. Trump creates it. Donald Trump should be viewed as Donald Trump, and shocker of shockers, he should be taken at his word. I know you can’t do that in politics in general, but with Trump, yes, the man means what he says.



“Had Trump been president, this war would never have happened.” It’s true, but why? Simpletons and thieves want you to buy into yet another stupid two-state solution: “Putin invaded, therefore, Putin bad. Ukraine is victim, therefore Ukraine good. Putin go home. Putin pay Ukraine.” This has all the sophistication of “Palestine will run rivers of chocolate, kids will play in the streets, and Muslims and Jews will all hold hands in the land of plenty and sing Kumbaya if only Palestine can just get their own independent state.”



Ukraine got its own state. Problem solved!



Just stop with the childishness. The entire point of Trump’s statement is that the world arrived at this place, and we can fix it, but we cannot turn back time. The only way to get Russia out of Ukrainian territory is force or negotiation. The last administration did neither, so any moron should be able to judge that war was the objective of the last administration. If you want to end a war, you take the steps to do so. Biden took no such steps. The best he did was tough talk, and it may be occurring to some that talk doesn’t make tough, and talking tough to tough guys who have all the leverage is… word of the day… stupid.

The only path is forward. Backward is literally impossible. Families will still never see their sons. No amount of negotiations, reparations, apology, or continued war will change that. Stop assuming “alignments.” Align with peace and progress. If that means supporting one competitor country one way, and another in another way, OK. It’s not black and white.

The old way of doing business is over, at least for now, and the world would do well to tune out American Democrats who know nothing beyond their insane unreasonable hate for Donald Trump. They will sacrifice any person, people, friend, or country, if they perceive it will damage Trump. I was not in the room when Zelensky had a huge meeting with American leftists before meeting with the President. But I know what happened anyway. They advised Zelinsky Trump is weak, and he, Zelinsky could look strong on the world stage. He lapped it up, and the display we saw was the result. I hate it for Ukraine.

Ukraine media says Trump sided with Russia. Dumb. Zelinsky could have signed a deal that was done, and we would have peace. Now. Dumb.

The entire point of “It would never have happened” is to stop putting your faith in liars. Know when you’re being lied to. The signs are usually quite clear. It’s easy to tell if the American parakeet press is lying. The cameras are on. Simple. You can spot leftist politicians lies when they speak. The lips will move. Simple. The converse is true about Trump. If the cameras are on and he is speaking, truth is being spoken. Doubt anyone who tells you otherwise, or go the way of Zelinsky. Be the sucker that would burn down his entire country to make Chuck Schumer happy.

But know that it is true that “This war would never have, should never have happened.” And the takeaway is to both be honest, and seek honesty.

Two cycles ago, a U.S. election was corrupted totally. This happens only with dishonesty. American politicos on the left lie constantly for their personal political purposes. Constantly. It has a corrosive effect on all human communication. The disservice done to Americans is incalculable, and it bled over into a Ukrainian war. The fog of war is bad enough, without Democrats making fog from peace.

Be smarter. Be honest. Be vigilant spotting lies. 

When asked how he aligns, Trump says simply, “I align with peace.” Because we are so conditioned to lies and hidden subtext and motives it occurs to very few that it’s a perfect answer. But it is. We do not need to be forced into false binary choices – “Total victory or limitless war are your only options.” or “NATO membership or limitless war” or whatever. 



Donald Trump impresses me constantly. He presents creative solution options where the rest of the world plays its same broken records. Tossing simpleton notions aside for practical solutions, he fixes things that everyone else breaks. He brings untold creativity to problem-solving. Supporter I have become, I didn’t know how great and creative the President could be until this term. Trump can solve Ukraine, but Ukraine’s leaders need to be honest, as do the Russians. Trump’s honesty is a known commodity now. If he and the leaders he works with are honest, the golden age can start sooner. I have faith that America is about to see its best years. I am grateful to be alive to see it, but I admit I am impatient, and liberals putting up roadblocks to peace and prosperity is truly demoralizing at this point. Imagine. Just pretend it happened. Pretend it went like this:

“After a brief meeting, Presidents Zelinsky and Trump met with other dignitaries in the Oval Office where President Zelinsky signed an historic deal. They retired to the dining area where lunch was enjoyed in what can only be described as a light convivial mood. We sensed relief throughout the White House over the course of the day before President Zelinsky finally boarded his plane bound for huge celebrations back in his home country for a hero’s welcome. News from Russia after the break. Back to you, Dick.”

Democrats would hate it. And that should scare the hell out of you.

It is time to stop nonsensical Trump hate. That hate is dishonest, always based on lies, and it costs good people real money, resources, and even lives. I look forward to living in a time when “That war didn’t happen.”
