CRINGE PIC #2 APRIL 2025

 
Demonic or constipated? You decide.
WHEN I SAW THIS PIC, I couldn’t resist! It’s a priceless Zelensky original. Words cannot express the complex emotions his visage engenders within this viewer. Suffice it to say, there is one, and only one, Zelensky! (Thankfully!)

CRINGE PIC#1 APRIL 2025. BUFF REBUFF: "PRICELESS!"

 

THE PHOTO is of Italy’s PM Maroni being greeted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the “Coalition of the Willing” war drumming jamboree in Paris earlier this week, where there was a lot of hot air and hand-waving by pigmy European leaders gathered for the umpteenth circle-jerk wherein they fool themselves into believing that what they have to say about the Ukraine-Russia conflict has any relevancy. It doesn’t. They don’t matter. And talk of building some kind “peace keeping” force manned by ‘Team Europe’ to police the borderlands between Ukraine and Russia following cessation of the conflict ignores the reality of Russia’s firm NO! to any such force cobbled together from NATO affiliated-countries. Besides, Russia has yet to decide how much territory it needs to take until its security requirements are met. The more strum und drang the Europeans emit around “preparing for war with Russia”, the more Ukrainian territory Russia will deem necessary to conquer to keep its homeland safe. Instead of pit bull cosplay on the part of European leaders who puff up their chests pretending they will send troops to Ukraine. (Whose troops? Poland, with the largest army says no; Britain’s armed forces—all of them—would fit into a large soccer stadium and on down the list).  Instead, they should all go out to their favourite cafes and parks and enjoy their time in the sun. They think themselves pit bulls. In fact, they are well fed and watered chihuahuas.
 
AND WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL the chief fluffers in this FUBAR, Starmer and Macron, to stop giving lip service to the idea that Britain still rules the waves and Napoleon never met his Waterloo. It’s embarrassing. The more those two bloviate about sending money and weapons to Zelensky, despite the Trump administration’s increasing reluctance to further involve itself in the Ukraine clusterfuck, makes one wonder at their motivations. Without the U.S. to back them up, any army they gather will be little more than a paper tiger. Their foolish commitments to continue supplying Ukraine with money and weapons will only extend the war because Russia’s President Putin will see this as a threat and redouble his efforts to defang Ukraine’s armed forces even if it means turning the country into a land-locked, rump state, with no military capability to speak of. The longer this conflict goes on, the more territory Ukraine will lose.
BTW, RUSSIAN FORCES may be preparing for a major Spring/Summer offensive that will see them reach the Dnieper River, a natural divide between Russian and Ukrainian territory. When they arrive there, they will be poised to move on both Kiev and Odessa, should Putin give the go-ahead. We’ll see if the Europeans come to their senses and get behind Trump’s peace initiatives. So far, a majority of EU countries (or at least their political elites) are in favour of continuing the conflict.*

* And p.s., Guys, I don’t know about you, but the expression on PM Meloni as she’s getting ‘French-buffed’ by Macron, looks all-too familiar. It’s that dead, one-thousand-yard stare that says: “anywhere but here, anytime but now”. I think she’d rather kissy-face an orangutang than Macron. Somehow, I don’t think Italy will be part of the “Coalition of the Willing”. Just sayin’.
[Actually, Jake is right; her pic is hilarious and her expression is nothing less than priceless! Ed.]
