By this time, all who care have seen part or all of the bitter exchange that occurred in the White House Oval Office on February 28th between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. To state what was blatantly obvious from the moment it was clear that Mr. Trump was reclaiming the presidency: America is going to abandon Ukraine to Russia. The minerals deal is equal parts transparent ruse and cruel prank. In my lifetime, our nation has made foreign policy blunders which have yielded terrible consequences, but as far as I am aware, each was undertaken by the given President, no matter how mistakenly, with the intent of protecting Americans’ freedom and that of others around the world. What the Trump Administration is doing to Ukraine is akin to taking the side of a brutal rapist and demanding to be thanked by the victim.
I don’t know Ukrainian, and thus am relying on Google to have translated accurately, that the Ukranian phrase I have cut and pasted here reflects my intent; but I am confident President John Kennedy wouldn’t mind my paraphrasing and embracing his imagery from over sixty years ago when I declare that all free people, wherever they may live, are citizens of Ukraine. And therefore, as an American citizen living in America and as – at least, as yet — a free man, I take pride in entering here, “Я українець.”

Ukrainian, Russian, it’s all like Latin to me. All I know is that the effects of America’s undereducated majority electing a schizophrenic, narcissistic loon are starting…and it’s only been a bit over a month. Soon America will be isolated internationally with rising inflation. How bad things ultimately get will depend solely on the Republican Party. Only when enough of them have lost jobs, when enough farmers start to feel the squeeze of not being able to export, when their cost of a dozen eggs cost more than a bottle of wine, when they see services they took for granted vanish, will they revolt against Trump. The revolt will have to come from within MAGA aided by Fox News. (Democrats have proven themselves too inept to prevent Trump from being elected twice to start any movement that will contain Trump.)
How long this will take depends on how fast and severe things deteriorate. Unfortunately, it won’t be quick…can’t fix stupid, they will have to learn the hard way. All we can do is buckle in and hope for the best.
