It comes on the heels of reports that Trump – egged on by the little dictator of South Carolina, Lindsey Graham – has agreed to send the other little dictator another tranche of weapons to attack the Russians with. Including – reportedly – American made missiles capable of striking targets in Moscow. Trump has also decreed that if Russia – Putin – does not end the war by September (50 days) then he, Trump, will wage economic war upon Russia by appyling punishing tariffs to all countries that trade with Russia. This of course would include Chyna, in the president's manner of saying it.

Try to imagine how Americans – including Trump – would react if Putin publicly asked the Iranian leader whether he could "hit Washington." And then announced he'd be sending the Iranians missiles capable of doing that. But, you see, it is different when Americans do what Trump just did. Cue the Lee Greenwood song.

Of course, the Russians see it differently. The more important question now – for us peons to ponder – is what the Russians will do if American provided missiles (probably under American technical guidance) rain down on Moscow. What do most people do when someone throws a punch at them? To expect the Russians to not punch back – to fault them for not defending themselves – is a very uniquely American psychosis. We'll be outraged when Russian missiles fall on America.

Channeling Greta, How dare they!

That is the apparent psychosis of Trump and his Red Hats, the ones still wearing them. They are the ones now 'splainin' way not just the about-face on the Epstein thing but also the Keeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvv thing. Wasn't Trump going to end the war – or at least, end our egging-on of it – on the first day or so of his second term? That went the way of the $5,000 DOGE refund (and DOGE, itself) and the crazy talk about funding the federal government via tariffs and abolishing the IRS. Instead, we'll get REAL ID and an IRS run by Palantir  and the Tech Bros.
