I have delayed writing this particular blog for almost a week. Why? I am writing with a broken heart.

Of course I am writing about the Fiasco on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The president and the vice-president of the United States shocked the entire world. They dropped their pants and mooned everyone.

Their invited guest, the elected President of Ukraine, was attacked, belittled, chastised, and bullied. This was part of a plan to give Trump a closer relationship with Russia. It aimed to line his own pockets with Ukrainian minerals.

Trump’s plan was to reflect strength. He wanted to present power and to show off his negotiation skills. His goal was to prove to the world that he and he alone held the keys to a peaceful Universe.

Trump had tried to bully Denmark and Greenland. They laughed in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Canada. Canada continues to laugh in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Mexico. Mexico laughed in his face.
Trump had tried to bully Panama. Panama laughed in his face.

He realized he was running out of countries to bully. So, he went after a desperate people in the throes of a 3-year invasion. What happened? The entire free world laughed in his face. Russia celebrated the dismemberment of the United States as a world power. Americans, true Americans were left heart broken.

For 45 minutes the Oval Office became a squared circle. An event transpired that need the voice of Michael Buffer and the marketing prowess of Vince McMahon.  Trump and Vance took turns degrading President Zelinski. Like a practiced tag team. They took turns insulting and degrading President Zelinski. It was a relentless attack. Yet nothing actually hit. Nothing hurt. President Zelinski took blow after blow. He countered snark with facts, he ducked lies and responded with facts. The more they missed, the madder and madder Trump and Vance attacked.

At the end of the day, Trump and Vance were bloodied. The American place as a work leader damaged. Ukraine and their President were stronger. The EU instantly rallied to Ukraine’s aide, providing them the protections the United States had sworn to provide.

The only winner from this unwarranted scuffle on the Trump / Vance side of the ring was their boss. No not Elon Musk. Russian Evil Doer Valdy Putin.

Russian news and the those in the Kremlin were celebrating. They knew what they witnessed was the end of a united United States. a weakened United States is no longer a foe. They know that having Trump as a friend gives them the presents they need to take Ukraine. They can take parts of other EU countries. They can also do whatever they want.

China, without even having a dog in this fight walked away as winners. They know now that anytime they want it, Taiwan is theirs for the taking.

When the United States aligns more closely with the Axis of Evil, the black hat fits better than the white. In this scenario, the American people are the biggest losers.

We can look at the Musk transitionary dismantling of the United States with fear and anger. Yet it breaks hearts to see the United States dismantled as the beacon of freedom. Its decline as a symbol of democracy is truly heartbreaking.
