    "Mr Bean on Crack: Chapter 1" (part 1 of 10)

    A comedian by nature, Zelenksky was also a strong leader of whom the rest of the free world looked to for hope.

    ... but by night: he was also a crack fiend who drew comparisons to Mr. Bean. Probably because of the beard, or maybe because he didn't need many words to be great. Either way, he was now a cracked-out Mr.Bean by night.

    Those insults, coming from those people, is a wonderful compliment. I'd be more worried if they had nice things to say.

    This shows that Ukraine and Europe should not trust Trump on Ukraine. Trump seems to be siding with Putin. Perhaps they have some type of secret agreement.

    Trump is a traitor, and one of his masters is Putin. There may be others too, or at least side hustles.

    Perhaps not his master but Trump might be secretly getting something in return from Putin. In exchange for the US limiting its help to Ukraine, Putin might be limiting its aid to Iran and Cuba.

    If I was a tragically inept leader that lost a war that I started a few months earlier, I would also not want to appear next to a leader that has maintained through multiple years of war.

    Sounds like basalt is either compromised or sucking the super MAGA cool aid that hates Ukraine
