Edition No60 | 07-11-2024 - This is a piece I had planned on writing
as a rebuke to Biden administration, in the event of a Kamala Harris
victory. Perhaps the topic becomes even more urgent now, as the US
government enters a transition phase to a second Trump term of office.
With the US apparently supplying only 10% of the promised and approved
aid to Ukraine that was mandated in the April aid bill, we must ask, can
Trump really be much worse than this?

It’s a point Ukrainians have been making for some time – that delusions
and weakness under the Democrats may be more dangerous than facing the
stark reality of a Trump presidency.

At the start of November Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s allies to
stop just ‘watching’ amid the threat from North Korea, and before the
troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reached the battlefields of Kursk and
Donbas. The geopolitical rubbernecking continued, and little seems to
have been done of any impact. No new supplies to address the
significantly escalatory threat and no lifting of existing of red lines.


Pathetically John Kirby announced that ‘no new red lines’ would be
imposed in response to Russia’s successful attempts to drag North Korea
into the war, a statement that has the deterrence power of brandishing a
limp lettuce to deter a charging bull.
