Oh, oh! I did not anticipate the Russians blowing the Biden crime family’s Ukrainian corruption wide open. Wonder how this going to play out in the court of worldwide public opinion.
Something strange has happened here. Normally every comment shows up in my inbox. All comments are automatically enabled, but this system allows me to read comments efficiently and respond if it seems called for. Today, NOT A SINGLE COMMENT HAS APPEARED IN MY INBOX. Obviously there ARE comments. I've checked my settings and can't see the problem. I'll just have to keep checking.
If I were a foreign counterparty of the U.S., I would be asking the following questions now: "Why should I believe anything you say? Who is the real authority speaking for you on whom I can count? On what morality are your promises based? What is the cost to you if your promises are false?"
"What track record do you have for fulfilling your promises? You say you want to support 'democracy' in my country, yet when your citizens try to exercise their political rights you crack down on them. How then should I interpret what you have to say about 'democracy'? "
"If I commit to do your will, based on your promises, how might those promises be impacted by the results of your next Presidential election? If I agree with what you want to do, will my elected government really be controlling my country, or will it be yours? Please explain how this would work. Will you commit to recognizing the validity of my country's next Presidential election, without disrupting it? Will you commit to not promoting corruption in my country and to not undermining our political and legal systems? How will this commitment be enforced?"
If we lived in that world you describe that makes perfect sense. I suspect, however, that any nation worth its salt knows that everything said in public communications by the DC gangsters is pure bs for public propaganda. The *real* communications happen privately by the permanent DC gangster lackeys. So i suspect that the message coming out of dc for the past 40 or 50 years has been pretty consistent: do what we say and you'll get a share of the loot. Refuse and we'll color revolution your ass.
Ginned up, as "Baby Doc" dissonant1, President for Life of Ruritania, I have my own view of things. But I will take note of your warnings regarding "gangsterism" and loot, as well as the possibility of a "color revolution." Many thanks! :)
Darek, read your current events--because I've read my history, as well. The Baltic nations can't do jack for Poland. I agree Czechia--which you strangely fail to mention--and Hungary are promising partners. However, of likely more importance is Polish cooperation with the Scandinavian countries, both militarily--especially naval cooperation--and economically. For example, Norway is now a major source of energy for Poland, replacing Russia. Sweden supplies a lot of missile systems for coastal defense--which Poland relies on more than actual ships. Oh, Poland processes herrings for Norway, as I happen to know.

On second thought, this may be an old press conference. Not clear when this was recorded.

LOL. But it's a huge pain for me, because it's much harder now to follow commenting. I can't tell when comments are "incoming".
Great post and observations.

I sincerely hope to wake up in Ruritania and enjoy your benevolent reign. Kudos.
I'm so angry about this!
But RUSSIA! UKRAINE!
