Zelenskyy can insult the President to his face in the Oval Office, and all Trump does is keep inviting him back. Relying on false intel about Russian casualties, the Russian economy, and the Russian polity, Trump keeps trying self-defeating, self-sabotaging escalatory tactics with Russia, playing Russian roulette but mistaking it for American poker.
Trump threatens 500% sanctions on Russian-oil purchasing nations today, threatens long-range missiles into Moscow that Russia could think are nuclear-armed, and sends arms to Ukraine laundered through NATO. All this does is enrage the Russian populace and get us closer to triggering a world war between two nuclear powers. As a Russian once advised me: “we’d rather eat dirt than surrender.” Russian history proves it, whether in dealing with the Mongols, Napoleon or the Nazis. Just revisit the history of how the people of St. Petersburg held out during what they called The Great War.
At the same time, Russia holds escalatory dominance in Ukraine, and see the war as existential for their self-defense and survival. While Russia could be a critical ally in rare earth access (to balance leverage against China in the trade war), keeping energy costs down for an inflation-scarred American economy, open up the Arctic for economic enterprise in a resource rich region, utilize their mediation skills to deescalate Mideastern and other global conflicts, pursue meaningful nuclear nonproliferation and weapons de-escalation, and ally two culturally kindred, Christian conservative, gun-and-truck, anti-woke nations against the globalist empire, all is sacrificed in the delusional belief that the weaker party is Russia and Trump just needs to find the magical leverage to induce their full surrender. He just needs to blow up rapproachmont, send Russia into the welcoming embrace of the Big Panda out of necessity, and risk World War 3.

Orban met with Trump at the White House on Friday, masterfully handling a long agenda of items crafted to take both nations and the world closer to peace and Christendom.
Both governments reiterated their commitment to promoting peace efforts in Ukraine. Orbán noted that discussions about hosting a peace summit in Budapest remain ongoing. ‘Hungary offers its capabilities to assist in ending the war in Ukraine,’ he said, repeating his long-standing view that ‘Ukraine cannot defeat Russia militarily’.
Orbán characterized the meeting as ‘a day of Hungary in Washington’, noting that multiple ministerial-level discussions were held alongside the leaders’ summit. He described the talks as those of ‘two allied states with shared interests’, adding that no major disagreements emerged.
‘We identified no issue where our two nations’ positions conflicted,’ Orbán said. ‘There are no strategic differences between Hungary and the United States—only shared goals and cooperation.’

"According to a survey by JL Partners, roughly 765,000 New Yorkers—say they’re preparing to leave because of Mamdani’s election. Another 25%, or around 2.1 million, are considering it. Among high earners—those making over $250,000 a year—7% say they’re definitely fleeing.
"Why wouldn’t they? Mamdani has made it clear he views them as piggy banks. His entire platform is built on extracting their wealth and redistributing it. When you explicitly declare war on a segment of your population, that segment leaves.
"And those are the people funding everything. They’re the tax base. When they leave, revenue collapses—making it difficult, if not impossible, to fund the bloated social(ist) programs Mamdani promised. Then what? More taxes on whoever’s left. Which drives out more people. Which shrinks revenue even further.
"It’s a doom loop—and, again, entirely predictable.
"The end result is that New York’s going to end up looking a lot like the ...
No.
He let the robots cheat...driving Mamdani’s fake social media engagement sky high, which the media turned into fake news that Mamdani was popular, liked, and a genius of a political leader driving a vast grassroots explosion of excitement for a true change agent.
Bot farms out of Pakistan and India flooded X with random promotion of Mamdani coming from fake accounts...suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement by real New Yorkers, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign code-writers rigging a US election.
The New York Post is tracking the evidence:
According to analytics compiled from Mamdani’s social media accounts, reviewed by The Post, between June 1 and July 1, Mamdani’s Instagram followers jumped from 213,000 to nearly 3 million — a 1,295% surge — while TikTok grew more than 1,000%.
Was there cheating at the voting booth? It would have been unnecessary. Real immigrants came out to vote for the ...
