The Long Con Comes To An End

1. Thanks for that good piece by Phillips OBrien - conniving bastards

Some excellent long-game chess moves from one of the players.

It was an effective and devastating con, and it worked. Europe and Ukraine were left confused and hesitant, desperate not to offend a US president they dreamed might be won to their side. It would never happen, as the administration is right back to where it was at the start of its term. I wrote this piece just after the inauguration saying Trump’s plan had been the same for six months—we can now make it 15 months.

At least now the con is over and the Trump administration (and Trump and Vance are the drivers here—not Witkoff who is a patsy) is back to telling the truth. They want Putin to win and Ukraine to be devastated.

Sadly they fooled too many people for too long with their con. We can only hope the damage is not terminal.
