First You Get Their Attention

“If they’re paying their bills, and if I think they’re treating us fairly, the answer is absolutely I’d stay with NATO.”

Trump calls for immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and says a US withdrawal from NATO is possible

By JOANNA KOZLOWSKA and ELLEN KNICKMEYER

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine, describing it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office.

“Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness,” Trump wrote on social media, referring to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In a television interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community.

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he were actively working to end the nearly 3-year-old Ukraine war, Trump said, “I am.”

He refused to say if he had spoken to Putin since winning election in November. “I don’t want to say anything about that, because I don’t want to do anything that could impede the negotiation,” Trump said.

Gotta love AP News, they quote opinions from H.R. McMaster, who Trump fired as National Security Advisor and invoke the inapplicable Logan Act. The article is based on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” interview with a remarkably respectful Kristen Welker.

Come 20 January there will no longer be any doubt who is in charge at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

remarkably respectful”
I’m sure that will happen more and more, as even the DeMSM realizes they don’t have the mojo any more to get away with the crap they pulled in 2015-2020.

Yeah, but how much more screeeeing are we gonna have to hear about “Russian Collusion”/”Pootin’s Pimp” and other such nonsense? Only winners in this BS is the MIC. Seems like I recall Ike giving us a warning about them back yonder. And here we are.

Make peace, you fools. Things can get out of hand…real quick.

Can you say, “instant sunshine”?
I knew you could.

No one will hear it because no one pays much attention to the propaganda media anymore. Things are getting so rough for them that they may have to resort to actually reporting real news without all the leftist spin on it.

I don’t know if our beloved AW1Ed knows the same story, but I’m reminded of the one of the farmer who went to buy a mule from another man.
“Does he respond to the commands ‘Gee up’ and ‘Haw?”
Seller: “He sure does”
Farmer buys the mule and takes him to his farm, puts him in harness before the plow, and says “Gee up, mule!”
The mule stands there. “Gee up, mule!” he shouts.
The mule stands there.
The farmer goes back to the seller and says “You said this mule will Gee up, and he just stands there.”
“Let me come see.” the seller replies.
They go back to the farm, and there’s the mule in harness standing there. The seller picks up a 2×4 and BAM hits him hard between the eyes. “Gee up!” and the mule begins to pull the plow.
The seller says “First, you’ve got to get his attention.”

Need to change the last word in that meme to “REGRESSIVES”, then it will be 100% accurate.

USMC Steve

That too no longer works, because most of us just don’t care any further.

How “racist,” Trump wants to end the proggie globalist money laundry in Ukraine (especially the war) and make Europeans (especially the western ones) do more in the own defense.

Then there’s this which I just saw on this morning’s news

Interestingly, enough, literally after the election Trump has been the de facto president, even though Biden is still in the White House.
He actually got red carpet lined up military honor greeting, which is usually only reserved for sitting presidents.


President Trump just made Macron his b—h with one handshake.”

I think Biden is fine with it. He’s misplaced his last fuck.

I’m sure he’s been completely devoid of fucks to give since his handlers took the nomination away from him!

The last time Trump grabbed a pu**y he got impeached.

At some point, the Donkuloids will start screaming “Logan Act” again.

Yes, about two weeks before Trump’s first inauguration, Gropey suggested that the Logan Act could be used against Trump’s people.

This is a negotiation ploy. He threatened to leave NAFTA, then got a replacement for it. He knows that the NATO countries need us more than we need them. He’s going to pressure them to allocate more for their defense.

His threats to reduce aid to Ukraine are aimed at getting Zelinskyy to negotiate. He’s saying something different to the Russians… If they don’t negotiate, the Ukrainians are getting a lot more than what they previously received.

Donald Trump is all about negotiating, playing hardball and providing worse case scenarios that he is considering doing just adds to the pressure.

The first USSS codename given a Presidential Candidate is done without any input from them, and Donald Trump’s during his first campaign was “Mogul”.

I wouldn’t be against us getting out of NATO all together. Don’t care if they call it isolationist, this isn’t December 8th, 1941. Europe can put on it’s big boy pants and defend their own countries. Same goes for their oil supply in the ME; send your own damn navy to protect it. We have our own supply.
