COMMENT: Marty, Socrates is just unbelievable. When everybody assumed a deal could be reached and Trump was attempting to strong-arm Zelensky, Socrates nonetheless predicted rising diesel costs. At the moment, after saying Kyiv would now not adjust to US President Donald Trump’s demand that it not strike Russian oil refineries, Zelensky turned to his European lapdogs. Socrates sees via the whole lot. I don’t know the way you ever managed this.

REPLY: I’ve stated, even I can not beat Socrates. It’s an goal observer of the world. It’s not partisan, and it isn’t opinion. All of us have an opinion. That doesn’t result in correct forecasts. There’s nonetheless the danger of this week forming a temp excessive with a 2 to three week retest of help. The most important dangers might be within the 1st quarter subsequent 12 months. The Democrats wish to have Zelensky trillions as Elizabeth Waren shakes everybody the other way up to get each final dime.
Primarily based on polling information, the overwhelming majority of Democrats help continued or elevated navy assist to Ukraine, however there is no such thing as a polling information exhibiting {that a} majority of Democrats particularly wish to fund strikes on all Russian refineries with no regard to what they’ll do to making a famine. They insisted on lockdowns for COVID with additionally no regard for its financial impression.
Democrats are overwhelmingly in favor of supporting Ukraine militarily. 53% of Democrats wish to improve navy assist to Ukraine, whereas 19% wish to keep present ranges. Solely 9% wish to lower or cease assist. There’s a Congressional Ukraine Caucus, which incorporates Democrats, that has pushed again towards any restrictions that may restrict Ukraine’s capability to to wage World Battle II in its quest to destroy Russia. They’re yelling on Capitol Hill screaming that any restrictions is placing civilians in danger are “unacceptable.” In fact, the don’t care about what number of Ukrainian ethnic Russian they kill in revenge.
If Democrats retake the Home in November, impeachment is “basically assured” in keeping with Republican leaders like Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Jim Jordan. We’ve a Panic Cycle within the Senate for 2027 and that does NOT look good. Democrats want solely a easy majority to move articles of impeachment, and plenty of within the progressive wing, resembling Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ro Khanna, are already vocal supporters .
As you may see, we even have a Panic Cycle in 2027 for the Democrats within the Home AND Senate. This isn’t good. This might be waging conflict towards something Trump does and they’ll severely disrupt the nation, the federal government, and geopolitics. Trump’s refusal to throw Netanyahu underneath the bus will severely undermine his legacy it doesn’t matter what he names after himself.
