If Putin bombs Kiev, we should bomb Mar-a-Lago

Putin does not seem to believe in free elections. He very likely would never win one. Instead, he has rigged elections, and wins those easily. I guess that's the system he wants to set up in Ukraine.

He claims he is watching out for the rights of the Russian-speaking minority. He claims that Ukraine and Russia have a common culture and language. He claims that he is de-nots-ifying the place.

And then, Trump calls him a genius. What kind of genius is it to use his army to march in on people who share the same language and culture? What kind of genius is it to use the weapons of a superpower against a country like Ukraine? In my opinion this will work out very badly for Putin, and it's not genius at all.

But to Trump, it's definitely admirable. Trump also cannot win a free election. Trump also relies on cultural dominance and the power of military when he can get his hands on it. Trump also doesn't know from genius.

May they both have the same miserable fate.
