  1. Taco’s war is a complete fiasco, a failure of epic proportions. This administration jumped into this endeavor without any concrete plans or sound military concepts. Rejecting Ukraine’s offer to help is a case in point for the naivety and arrogance of Trump and his collection of clownish lackeys. And the whole globe knows by now that the russian terrorist federation is fully on Iran’s side, yet this president is doing absolutely NOTHING about it. On the contrary, the orange bandit is still friendly with the blood-soaked russian ghoul. I call this high treason.

  2. Had the US used what they call their Intelligence Dept they would have asked Ukraine for defences on their bases, but the russian lovers would sooner watch US personnel and equipment get destroyed than ask Ukraine for help. This is not only arrogance, but pure hatred by the TACO regime against Ukraine.
