BECAUSE THIS IS UKRAINE

The translation was done by the AI.

I believe that, on a purely human level, I understand those supporters of Ukraine among us who claim or repost articles and statuses on social media about how Ukraine could still win the War.

Alas, in my opinion, Ukraine can no longer win the War.

Only against Putin's Russia could Ukraine fight and even defeat it (until the West reduced aid in the fall of 2022 and until the counteroffensive was miscalculated as a strategy and ineffective as a tactic).

Against Putin's Russia and Xi's China, it was approximately possible for Ukraine to maintain a combat balance.

WHY I AM A RADICAL PESSIMIST AND A MODERATE OPTIMIST

The translation was done by the AI.

Lately, my writings here have revolved around several key points that shape my reasoning and conclusions.

First, Trump has made so many obvious failures and laughable, almost cartoonish mistakes that it’s becoming harder and harder for him to continue playing Putin’s tune like some seduced and abandoned maiden. The way he flatters, grovels, and panders to the Russian dictator, hoping for anything more than the absolute zero that his actions toward Russia have yielded so far—it’s pathetic beyond parody.

DESTINY LIKE FORTINBRAS

The translation was done by the AI.

It is amazing how all of us wish for positive news – we are ready to grab even the smallest hint of it like a drowning man grabs a straw...
Although there has never been a case in human history where the straw helped the drowning man. More often, he saved himself by grabbing his own hair and pulling himself out of the deepest swamp that sucked him in.

Unfortunately, we see with our raw nerves a theatre for a single actor, narcissistically poking his nose in the middle of the madhouse, known by inertia as the White House, although it has been generating only black swans and black thoughts for more than three months.

FOUR EFFECTS DIRECTLY IMPACTING TRUMP

The translation was done by the AI.

For me (and clearly not just for me), the fact that the U.S. has a totally unhinged idiot as its president is incredibly dangerous for the world.
But it’s even more dangerous for Trump himself.

Trump is surrounded by absolute mediocrities, sycophants, cynics, illiterates, and crooks who only tell him what he wants to hear and show him what he wants to see. This way, Trump lives in a make-believe world, and anything he learns that doesn’t suit him, he instinctively and impulsively rejects.

FROM A UNIPOLAR TO… A UNIPOLAR MODEL?!?

The translation was done by the AI.

“A smaller sailboat may spin around in the water, but it may rise up again after a few turns, but if the Titanic is going to sink, it will sink.”
—Xi Jinping

Everything—absolutely everything—that Trump does is wrong. Dangerously wrong. And probably—fatal.
Under his leadership, the United States is like the Titanic. And as comrade Xi says: once the Titanic starts sinking, it sinks.

The attempts to find some kind of strategy in Trump’s actions are not just comical—they are downright pathetic.
Trump is a threat to the very existence of the United States. The U.S. can (still) escape from Trump’s madness, but the price will be colossal.
