Rational World Behaving Irrationally

When one person comes out of a vital summit smiling and the other looks like he had been sucking  a lemon,. it is easy to tell who is the happier and unfortunately it was the War Criminal who was beaming.
When Donald Trump greeted the Russian President with a red carpet and a smile and friendly hand shake it was obvious how the summit was going to go and that was exactly how it went with Putin going back to Moscow having conceded nothing and the victim, Ukraine, being the one to try and be manipulated into accepting the terms of a peace deal which is a reward for Russia's invasion.
Putin was always going to run rings around Trump, I will let you decide if it is regarding a certain Kompromat video clip or the Agent Krasnov thing but an interview with a Ukrainian summed it up nicely when she said: 'The rational world is behaving irrationally by giving him this welcome'.  
The news leaking out is that is that Putin demands the 20% of Ukraine that his troops currently occupy and Trump is to pressure Zelenskyy into agreeing to that demand to gain the peace but there is no chance of the Ukrainian President and his European partners accepting that as it would make the last 3 years of fighting worthless and set a precedent that the weak American President is happy to reward Russian aggression.
An interesting moment came at the end of the conference when Trump mentioned a further meeting and Putin suggested it be held in Moscow to which Trump looked very nervous about, especially if he was to be staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel again although i am sure Putin will order them put plastic sheets on the mattress and make sure the prostitutes drink plenty of water before he arrived.
All in all then a waste of everyone's time and Russia will go on killing Ukrainians and Trump will toe the Putin line and blame Zelenskyy but his bizarre claim to be a deal maker is on the line, as one wag said on my feed this morning, he may have to mention the Epstein files just to deflect from just how terrible he is at negotiating anything.
