Trump Lectures Ukraine, not Russia
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
An armed Russian jet drone hit the engine of a passenger train in Ukraine near the Polish border on the weekend. Meanwhile, President Trump lectured Ukraine’s President to stop hitting energy targets in Russia. Go ahead, make Vladimir Putin’s day, Mr. President.
The passenger train line between Warsaw and Kyiv is a a main travel route for civilians, as the Kremlin knows. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt and a key adviser to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are reported to have been on a different train the same evening. Were the Russians hoping to hit those European allies of Ukraine?
President Trump had nothing critical to say about the attack, which is part of Russia ’s daily bombardment of civilian and energy targets in Ukraine. The Kremlin is trying to make life as difficult as possible for the Ukrainian people as another winter of war approaches.
Mr. Trump did find the time to warn Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky against Ukraine’s targeting energy supply depots inside Russia. “Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel,” Mr. Trump said during his visit to Ireland on Sunday. “This isn’t done by the Middle East. This is done by what’s happening with Russia and Ukraine.”
So Russia can fire away at any and all targets in Ukraine, but Ukraine must restrain itself in retaliating in Russia. Mr. Trump is clearly worried about the price of diesel fuel, but blaming Ukraine amid Iranian and Houthi attacks on Mideast oil production and transport is political excuse-making on a grand scale.
It’s also strategically misguided as Russia and Iran help each other in their respective conflicts. Mr. Trump seems to think he can put these wars into separate boxes. Every time he does, he has adversaries in Moscow and Tehran smiling at their good luck.

Next up for an arse kissing in two weeks, Xi Jinping. Trump and MAGA, one and all RINOs, have turned real republicans into their snivelling hostages.
Psst...that's nearly as dumb as telling the Irish they should unite..
The list is getting longer and longer with looney tunes from Trumpet...
Next he will be saying we don't speak English..what a galah as if...🙄
... right up until the whiskey starts flowing.
Ahh Trumpet is dropping the tariff on that..seems he thinks it will go down well for votes with the American Irish..
an expensive stereotype to live up to these days ...
nearly as dumb as telling the Irish they should unite..
the majority of Irish support a united ireland. Why is it dumb to oppose British colonial state in Ireland?
Not in Protestant Northern Ireland, support there is about 30% to 40% while in the twice+ populated Catholic Republic support is 65%.
That's why I said Ireland. The Irish actually have a say too. The majority of Ireland wants reunification.
Just a slight thing called the Orange and Green..
Geez they couldn't reunite a street or neighbourhood in Northern Ireland, let alone Eire as well..even to this day they still hate each other..
Maybe when the older generations die out, there could be a slight glimmer of hope for a United Ireland.
But I wouldn't hold your breath..and not in our life time....
Nice to have a wall running through your neighbourhood so they can keep them seperate...
Again, why is wanting a unification of Ireland a stupid thing?
I'm aware of the problems caused by a government planting foreigners and using them to replace a native population. Why is it stupid for the people who saw their country arbitrarily divided in two by a foreign invader to want to end that occupation?
Is is stupid for Ukrainians to want Crimea to be returned to Ukraine because some Russians might be unhappy?
Because Religion is bigger than Politics..
And it will never be any different there..why on earth would a US President crap on about a united Ireland when his own country is falling apart at the seams?
Yet another diversion tactic or maybe he should start bombing them as well..ahh wait no oil in Ireland..
So yes it's stupid even rating it a mention when even the Irish are not in complete agreement themselves over unification..
Maybe one day they will sort it out themselves but that will be along time coming..
The Brits have no where near the presence in Ireland like they did in the Troubles..and at least that is mutual agreement..so if they wanted to unify they sure as hell would have by now...
Trumpet seems to leave a trail of discontent where ever he goes..
Even Sinn Fein didn't want him there..so at least they got that bit right...
Lol. That's fantastic. No one should ever comment about a dispute that involves religion (and the Irish issue is not nearly that simple). I guess no leader can ever say anything about the middle east again, no matter what happens.
s it's stupid even rating it a mention when even the Irish are not in complete agreement themselves over unification..
Do you imagine millions of people are ever in complete agreement about anything? Somehow I don't think you are going to apply that standard to Ukraine. But the majority of Irish do in fact, support unification.
o if they wanted to unify they sure as hell would have by now...
A minority of people have a veto that prevents the majority from getting their way, absent more bloodshed, which most people don't want.
Trump is a Russian stooge who has been tasked by Putin with destroying America. Who'd a thunk that Trump could be so effective at anything?
I really enjoyed seeing the irish protesters displaying those caricature puppets of trump being sodomized by putin and bibi ...
