1. Zelensky...who knows that Putin can't be trusted...."rejects peace"....and pisses Trump off. This gives Trump cover to stop supporting a "war monger"...and gives Putin cover to keep invading (Putin: "I agreed to stop fighting/peace, but...").....which Trump/MAGA will endorse and/or justify. 11/

I try to understand how people who are STILL angry that OTHER people wore masks, blithely accept masked, armed, unidentified agents, major limits on our freedoms, US aligning with Putin, Trump refusing reality - Russia invasion, 2020 election, economic measurements…these are more acceptable?
