It worked the same way Bush got the TSA to work to make airports a pain for perpetuity! Of course they showed us a bunch of 9/11 propaganda and news headlines and the guy gave speeches - But which of us normal people ever actually agreed with any of it??
I sure didn't!
As for this situation here, it is true that I saw Putin start it, so why must Trump lie?
Even more tragically, is that Putin started it just after Covid had made all of humanity to suffer. As if to mock the light of the sun, now that the plague had finally begun to subside, or at least sufficiently normalize.
To bring up physical conflict and violence makes a mockery of the idea of trying to save lives during a plague - What did we save them for? The meatgrinder??
But in this day and age, things take the twistiest of turns, considering the existence of ROBOT warfare - Drones and anything like it are things that I consider forbidden. Humans mustn't use robots to hurt each other!
That's a very bad precedent that I consider forbidden!
To me the only logical explanation as to why he has to lie about this is to justify the fact that Zelensky is not part of the conversation. Making him to be the bully, makes his absence a necessity.
It make sense if you think with a Machiavellian head.
