‘Insanity’— John Mearsheimer on the US role in Gaza and Ukraine

His niece Mary a Clinical Psychologist warned the nation a very long time ago about her Uncle Donald. Unfortunately, the dominant private media see profit to be made in keeping Trump in the forefront of our attention and calling it news

We face climate change, potential nuclear war, famine and global militarization, but we’re stuck talking about this one crazy SOB — apparently we can’t solve the other problems until we fix this one.

Not convinced yet that Trump is nuts? How about this one, after the U.S. women’s soccer team lost to Sweden in the World Cup, specifically attacking Megan Rapinoe, the American star who missed a penalty kick: “WOKE equals failure. Nice shot Megan, the U.S.A is going to HELL!!! MAGA.” How soon before he starts screaming for the kids to get off his lawn?

There is no way a person with critical thinking skills could see parallels between the two areas and their fire remittance techniques.

So perhaps that’s why the Finns are having so much fun dragging Trump on Twitter.
