Trump wants to dance with the most disgusting creature on Earth

When we're in a tough spot, we dream of miracles. A miracle that just happens — changes everything and saves us. Like in that Soviet classic: "suddenly, a wizard will fly in on a blue helicopter." Like in the movies — when there’s no way out, but then suddenly...

But in real life, miracles never happen. Or at least, they seem to never happen.

Yet for some reason, they happen to Putin. Trump flies in on a blue helicopter — unless, of course, his administration has banned the word blue.

The worst part of this latest Trump-Putin pact (reminiscent of Ribbentrop’s) is that the Americans are effectively saving Putin. They’re signing — or want to sign — a deal with an opponent who’s already at his breaking point.

And this isn’t just some hospice patient. This is a sworn enemy of the U.S. Yet here comes Trump, pulling Putin out of the mud, sitting across from him, ready to negotiate how to divide the world.

Without a care that Putin might drag him into the mud with him.

It’s a miracle, really.

For the last 15 months, Russia has flexed its military muscle for all to see. They’ve thrown everything they have into capturing a tiny sliver of Ukraine. And that’s the key part — thrown everything they have. The economy is grinding to a halt. Military stockpiles are running dry. They’re sending Kadyrov’s personal donkeys to the front lines. And U.S. intelligence sees this. They can’t not see it.

Meanwhile, Europe and the U.S. haven’t even broken a sweat. It’s Ukraine and the Ukrainians who have borne the suffering. If there was a weak link in this chain, it should have been them. But instead, they turned out to be the strongest.

Putin seemed to be cornered. No way to continue. No way to stop.

The economy — burning through whatever was left — was collapsing. Inflation surging. Non-military industries falling apart. The real estate market in shambles. Russia had already become nothing more than China’s raw material supplier.

And then, just like in a Hollywood movie about some loser inheriting billions overnight — Trump shows up.

If Russia and Putin were strong, helping them might be cynical, but at least logical. A move for those who have no values, who believe in "nothing personal, just business." The logic of a cannibal is still logic. But no. Russia and Putin are weak. They are losers. They were losers. Until the blue helicopter arrived.

Somehow, people believe that miracles should happen to the good guys. Instead, this one landed right in the lap of the most vile creature on Earth. And Trump wants to dance the tango with him.
