2026-04-25 | UPDATES #183 | Ukraine has written off support from the United States — and is building the arsenal to win without it. No consistency is expected, or strategic alignment behind a Ukrainian victory. But it’s worse – privately may politicians and analysts now recognise that the pattern of behaviour, words and decisions, ladder up to support for Russia, and more often than is coincidental, designed to weaken and coerce Ukraine. But they will not be told what to do, when to concede or how to lose. Ukrainians fully intent to win and outlast Russia in the war.
“Russia has tricked the Americans again — it has tricked the President of the United States.”
That is Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with Italian radio this month. Not deploying diplomatic language, which would go over Trump’s head anyway. Not threading the needle of Trumpian ego management that has defined Ukrainian diplomacy for the past fourteen months. Or the outright appeasement in terms of language, that has characterised the approach of the other NATO members.
It was already clear last year that Trump would not be on the side of righteousness but on wickedness. Being a piece of human garbage, a criminal, and a traitor to the United States, this doesn’t really surprise anyone who can still think normally.
The UK is under multiple threats at the moment :
A plot to replace Sir Kier Starmer with a Marxist from his own party.
PutinaZi hybrid war : WMD’s, propaganda, espionage, poisonings, arson, cyber and putler-directed terror.
Krasnov hybrid war : he hates that the UK supports Ukraine and now wants to give the Falklands to the Argies and punish us with yet more tariffs.
King Charles’s ill-advised trip to the U.S. is still going ahead tomorrow.
I’d suggest he diverts his plane to Canada, where he will be amongst friends.
What he should say to Krasnov but can’t :
“Unless you stop supporting putler and the bogus claims of the Argies to the Falklands, we will insist on the full withdrawal of the US from all British bases.”
trumpkov likes King Charles; maybe the king can steer trumpkov in the right direction. (At least, until the next time trumpkov talks with putler.)
Charles is too level-headed for Taco, so Taco won’t take any advice from him.
Instead of standing together in the face of mafia land’s and Taco’s aggression, some want to replace Starmer with a communist. Haven’t they learned from us what it means to put a radical jerk into the highest office?
