Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 1 (1 / 2): There is zero international reaction to an overt invasion threat by the US (belligerent) against Venezuela (non-belligerent). This president is holding our "cards" in Ukraine, paid for with our blood and sweat, over a Europe that must contain Russia.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 7 (1/2): The bear broke loose again some time ago, insatiable, crushing and mauling in a territorial rampage. Too dangerous to confront, there was no brake on the raids, and broken resisters left an accumulation of scars on the bear's slowly wasting massiveness.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 6 (1/2): The vague sense of unease as your pocket is picked has taken a sinister turn. The clown king strolls his contrived midway presidential hall of fame, itself naught but a monument to his dangerously petty grievances.

(2/2): Cheap film noir cinema fronts the grim recitation of enemies: many fantasms, others performative denials, some very real targets. The knife turns on the freeze frame of the trademark scowl: "Paid for by the US government." Not just money, national identity was stolen for this dark vendetta.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 5: (1/2) Lights go up on a circus held hostage by bloody handed clowns. Dull simpleton jests a fog machine heralding the sharpest barbs of cynicism and destruction. Pomp and bombast feed these vile creatures and the spectacle's shock off foots the other performers.

(2/2) The clowns command the ring as barkers scramble with grifters, elephants and cannibalistic freaks to get in on the action. A grotesquely gargantuan bomb is lobbed into the center of the captive audience, lit by a thousand fuses. One way or the other, this will be the last show of its kind.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 4: (1/2) The downward spiral has accelerated. There is now nothing he won't say out loud. Each unthinkable impels him to be more unthinkable. To get lost in orders of magnitude, each revelation of criminality or failure needs a "truth" exponentially more perverse.

(2/2) There is no brake on the gravitational suck. Blind commissioners, superhuman crew, local losers, Dr. Filth, the circus is in town. The delusional black hole has accumulated enormous mass, with an event horizon of bombs and destruction, violence, hate.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 3: (1/2) Un-War has been declared. It is as violent and destructive as War, but without any need for parameters, definition or limits. It only depends on the whim and latitude of a detached and unaccountable individual. Un-War is farther from Peace than even War.

(2/2) The regime needs Un-War, because it cannot adhere to the dialectic of War. Un-Reality is necessary: all threats are existential, enemies are opportunities, allies are inconveniences, action is divorced from justification and ending hostilities is a problem.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 2: (1/2) A Shakespearean tragedy on an epic and grotesque scale, the collective hero a cabal of farcical overgrown brats parading in their golden underoos. Individually perhaps just obscene and comical in their self indulgence.

Postcards from Dystopia, ed. 1 (1 / 2): There is zero international reaction to an overt invasion threat by the US (belligerent) against Venezuela (non-belligerent). This president is holding our "cards" in Ukraine, paid for with our blood and sweat, over a Europe that must contain Russia.

Statements by Trump make it clear these actions are to support a big oil resource grab. "Narco-Terrorist" should be a term reserved for the Sackler Family. We do not invade countries because of unfair elections. Our blood and sweat is not a means of securing a bonanza for Chevron.

"Remember the time JD and I were total a-holes in an orchestrated Oval Office ambush? And how everyone who saw it got sick to their stomach and called me a traitor? Yeah, that time."

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ You mean Zelenskyy doesn't like it? He'll have to... at some point, he'll have to make some decisions... remember, right in the Oval Office, not long ago, I said, "You don't have the cards." Don't forget, I inherited this war, โ€” Trump.

There's your answer: Yes, Putin does have the video of Krasnov blowing Bubba.

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com

Trump says heโ€™s โ€œa little disappointed in Putinโ€ and calls the war he thought would be the easiest to end the hardest. He speaks this way about a war criminal who kills civilians with missiles, allows prisoners to be executed and abducts children by the thousands. What a fool.

There you go, another 2 weeks. Krasnov still being Krasnov. Next up, watch the Gaza cease fire disintegrate as Mr. Nobel Poop Prize fails to keep Bibi in line.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธReporter: Do you have a timeline for the Putin meeting? ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธTrump: Within two weeks or so, pretty quick. ๐Ÿš€ Trump: We need Tomahawks โ€” US has a lot, but we need them. We canโ€™t deplete for our country. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Trump: Europe wants to end the war in Ukraine, but they are unable to do it. I am able to do it.

I think start locking in SAM when Russian aircraft violate EU airspace. If that doesn't deter them from these blatant acts of war, then shoot one down.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ชโš ๏ธ According to SPIEGEL, Russian reconnaissance aircraft flew over the German frigate "Hamburg" twice, which is currently participating in the NATO exercise "Neptune Strike" in the Baltic Sea. Russian aircraft flew at low altitude on Friday and Saturday, less than 100 meters.

Look for my sign October 18. It will say I oppose this government. I will be there with my fellow Americans who believe our country can stand for freedom, unity and progress.

I am not American, but I do care about what happens in the US. As the financial, cultural, and political center, and the foundation of the international system, it sets trends worldwide. I am concerned about the effects this may have in Europe and Asia, and about what kind of โ€œeraโ€we are entering

Not going to happen. Krasnov is leaning into the never ending two weeks and the GOP in Congress have made clear they will continue licking his boot. Best case is continued pressure will keep intelligence flowing to Ukraine and the US arms market open.

The Ukrainian Review@theukrainianreview.bsky.social

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ“After what you've read and heard over the past week, do you still believe that the US will impose sanctions on Russia anytime soon?

And here we go again ๐ŸŒฎ. What a shameful statement piled on all the BS about being very angry with Putin. Looking for any excuse to hide is not leadership. Inaction is complicity. Next up: sniveling Lindsey Graham will crawl back from his tough guy presser with his tail between his legs.

Another load of tripe. Ukraine was buying it's survival. It is abundantly clear that tRump's "real diplomacy" is a total failure. So yeah, send more aid.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ J.D. Vance: "When Biden was in office, Zelensky was coming to Washington and leaving with billions of dollars without any real purpose, any real diplomacy, any real understanding of what we were going to buy with that $100 billion."

Do you hear that tap-tap-tapping sound?

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff said he will meet with Ukrainian officials in New York this week and hopes they can resolve the war by the end of the year. ๐Ÿ™„ "Putin said he wants peace. There is a peace proposal on the table," he added.

It will be a shameful day for my country. Putin defiles the ground he walks on and Anchorage is offered up in an act of fealty by our treasonous president.

Inviting Putin to Alaska on 15 Aug legitimizes an ICC-indicted war criminal, guilty of deporting Ukrainian children, mass executions, torture & rape. It insults Ukraine, shreds int'l law & tells aggressors: might makes right. Justice demands isolation, not a seat at the table. Art: Marian Kamensky

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said Washington does not want to be drawn further into the war in Ukraine. While expressing hope for a swift end and backing Trump's approach to restoring peace โ€œthrough strength,โ€ he emphasized and reaffirmed U.S. support for peace.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Republicans are ready to pass a sanctions bill against Russiaโ€”once President Trump gives the green light. โ€œWe must do everything possible to help Ukraine succeed and pressure Russia to come to the negotiating table,โ€ Thune told Fox News.
