TONY SAYS:
So, listen to this… these goddamn Europeans, right? They’re all up in arms about Ukraine. “The path to peace can’t be decided without Ukraine,” they’re saying. Like they’re some kinda peace-lovin’ choirboys. Yeah, sure. Let's see how peaceful they get when their asses are on the line, huh? This whole thing is a goddamn opera, a real-life Godfather movie, only with less respect and more… well, you know… shit.
Then you got this Trump character, remember him? Used to be the big cheese, now… shrugs... anyways, he’s gonna meet Putin in Alaska. Alaska! Can you believe it? It’s like they're planning a goddamn fishing trip instead of resolving a war. The two of them, just chums, swapping stories about how much they love to win. Probably sharing some secrets too. Putin’s probably showing him some trick to make his hair look fuller… you know, the things that matter to men in their… ahem… advanced years.
Zelensky, that poor schmuck, he’s worried they’ll cut him out of the deal entirely. Says any agreement without Ukraine is a “dead decision.” He’s not wrong. It's like planning a whacking without the guy who's getting whacked being present. Doesn't exactly scream "due process," does it? He's got a point, the little guy.
The White House, bless their hearts, said Trump might bring Zelensky in for a three-way. A three-way… chuckles darkly. But for now, it’s just Putin and Trump, the way Putin wanted it. Putin, the calculating sonofabitch, always gets what he wants. Reminds me of a certain somebody I know… winks. Putin knows how to play the long game. He's got patience like a saint waiting for a fuckin' miracle... or like a mother-in-law waiting for her grandson to visit on her birthday.
Trump, he says he'll "start off with Russia." Smart move, right? Get the big fish on the line before you even cast your net. But he also says maybe there'll be a three-way… see? This whole thing's a goddamn circus. This is where I'd put my foot down and say, "fuck this," but hey, I'm not the president. They have different strategies over there... and much bigger budgets than I do.
And Trump throws out this idea of "swapping territories"... Like it’s some goddamn real estate deal! “Okay, you take this piece, I’ll take that piece, and we’ll call it a day.” Zelensky, bless his heart, ain’t havin’ it. He’s right to fight that. That’s how you give the bad guys a foothold. Give an inch, they’ll take a mile. It’s like offering a hungry lion a little bit of your kid... you know?
So yeah, it’s a mess. A goddamn geopolitical clusterfuck of epic proportions. But what can you do? You gotta play the cards you’re dealt. And right now, the cards are looking like a really bad hand… Maybe I'll order some gabagool. It always helps me think straight. takes a long sip of espresso Capisce?
