POTUS has time for Kirk fest but not to be briefed

On Putin’s constant probing of NATO defenses. POTUS has time to cut the Baltic states defense funding but no time for briefings on countries with nuclear weapons.

Never in my lifetime has the US and its military looked so impotent in the face of growing aggression. The demented duffer who is cosplaying a commander in chief is going to realize that a wide war in Europe will eventually cause the loss of American lives.
I guess Fred taught Little Donny that appeasement is a good strategy. Good luck with that GOP. We are the laughing stock of the world.

They keep him busy with his revenge plots.
Making little gold lapel pins of himself.
Building a ballroom.
Having tea with the King of England.
Counting all the tariff extortion money he has collected.
Etc Etc.

If they do mention world events he doesn't care and doesn't remember it.

I don't know who is in charge.

and US Military leaders are 'slow-walking' the Hegseth era. The incompetence of Trump appointees is staggering. No one with morals or a modicum of intelligence trusts them.
