To Trump, a million casualties in Ukraine war he’s enabling is nothing more than a kids’ fistfight
The depravity of Trump’s view of catastrophic war was on full display in his White House meeting with fellow Ukraine war enabler, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump told reporters present that the million plus dead and wounded in the largely degraded Ukraine
“Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other, and they’re fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don’t want to be pulled. Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.”
Trump was equally grotesque in pondering the war his predecessor provoked and he’s kept going with endless US weapons, in his phone call to Russia President Putin. “I said, Mr. President, maybe you’re going to have to keep fighting and suffering a lot,’ because both sides are suffering before you pull them apart, before they’re able to be pulled apart.”
At the Merz meeting Trump further stated that “When I see the moment where it’s not going to stop … we’ll be very, very tough. And it could be on both countries, to be honest. It takes two to tango.” Trump was threatening sanctions on both Russia and Ukraine to stop their fistfight in the park. He might as well be threatening putting both on ‘Double Secret Probation.’
Actually, it takes three to tango since the war goes on because Trump continues enabling it with billions in weapons, logistics and Intel support. Pull that away and Ukraine’s Zelensky would have to negotiate the peace he ran away from in April, 2022 at America’s behest. Had he made peace then Zelensky would still control the 45,000 square miles annexed and not incurred over a million senseless casualties.
And cruel, clueless, delusional Trump sits back pretending he’s still concerned about ending a catastrophic war he’s enabled for the past 137 days
Hegseth to impose second and posthumous homophobic Naval disparagement on Harvey Milk
In life and death the US Navy relished punishing Harvey Milk for being gay
In 1954, Milk was drummed out of the Navy he had faithfully servcd for four years for that offense. In the 1970’s Milk went on to become a national symbol of LGBTQ+ political empowerment as one of the first prominent gay political leaders. . In 1977 he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. A year later he was assassinated along with San Francisco Mayor George Moscone in a homophobic hate crime.
Sixty-seven years after firing Milk, the Navy made symbolic amends by naming a fleet replenishment oiler the USNS Harvey Milk.
But it took just 4 years for Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to demand Milk’s ship name be consigned to Davy Jones locker. According to Hegseth the Navy cannot have a gay rights leader’s name on a ship that must only bear names befitting the military’s “warrior culture”.
Hegseth is clueless that the real warrior here is Milk who was a warrior for inclusion and human decency, qualities totally MIA in the damaged psyche of Pete Hegseth.
