not a single representative from Western Europe or North America attended Trump’s “peace board” signing. Representatives from the G7 were conspicuously absent, as were the original BRICS countries, and most of the G20. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Neyanhu wanted to be there but couldn’t because he’s wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes, the Financial Times reported. Israeli President Isaac Herzog was in Davos but skipped the ceremony…

    Allies? Haha, he fucked all of america’s true allies over to get his tummy rubbed by putin.

    That orange thing has never had allies, or friends. Or anything like that. They were human commodities to throw under the bus at a moments notice.

    I’m sorry, but I found this bit rather funny. Funny in the dark comedy sense of course that all this is based on the tens of thousands of innocents that were murdered on orders of this maniac…

    But I do find it hilarious that trump makes a peace board and the only person wanting to join him can’t because he’s a genocidal mass murderer who would be arrested on sight if he got anywhere near a democratic country.

    I’m not a prayerful guy by nature, but my one consistent plea to the great infinity beyond my comprehension has been that this example of necrotic toxicity gets the opportunity to intimately understand his place in humanity’s halls of existence. In my appeals to the vacuous expanse, it is my naive optimism that allows me to hope that there occurs a singular moment where he achieves enough awareness that, as exemplified in the poem Ozymandias, he presents before the vast and empty sands of time and know that he mattered not. His only ability existed in making others recoil in disgust. Such an ephemeral epiphany where he palpably fathoms his aloneness, embarrassment, and bereftness of internal rest in salvation by his actions and lifelong pursuit to refuse life’s opportunity to create peace in a universe of chaos.

    I, unfortunately, understand that I am asking too much.

      His mind is deteriorating fast. Narcissism into Alzheimer’s doesn’t leave much room for understanding reality.

    I’m getting my hopes up, but this does feel good anyway:

    “Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” Trump wrote on this Truth Social platform.

    While official details of the new deal have not been revealed, sources told both The Telegraph and Axios that Greenland will remain an autonomous region of Denmark.

    When U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke at a VIP dinner shortly after declaring that Trump was the “new sheriff in town,” he was heckled and jeered. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde reportedly made a beeline for the door as he began speaking.

    All of this was the prelude to Thursday, when not a single representative from Western Europe or North America attended Trump’s “peace board” signing.
