And don't forget: this is a revenge story. It's not all about rare earths or mineral rights... not by a long shot.
Trump got impeached the first time because he got caught trying to get Zelenskyy to lie about Joe Biden doing illegal/corrupt things, and Zelenskyy refused to do it. The Suit without a Man In It* will have cuddled that grudge to him like a vomit-soaked teddybear, dreaming of ways to someday inflict maximum punishment on Ukraine's President for making him look bad.
So the mugging, as described above, went forward. But I seriously think no one associated with the current inhabitants of the White House realized how badly the event could or would backfire and/or catalyze opinion, both in the US and in other parts of the world.
It's going to be interesting—in the historical (annoying) sense of the word—to see how all this unfolds over the next couple/few months. But today's speech from the Danish prime minister is a real banger. (Apologies for the TikTok-ized version of this with background music. I'll look in a while and see if I can find one with, you know, just the words.)
Earlier I ran across a comment from somebody to the effect of, "The inhabitant of the Oval Office may just have accidentally created the United States of Europe." An interesting take. We shall see...
*There's a description of yesterday's events making the rounds: "A man without a suit on had a meeting with a suit without a man in it."
