The Republicans are desperate to vote it back in.

Reportedly, The Stable Genius told a group of donors that the US should slap some Chinese flags on some F22 fighters and bomb Moscow, then the Russians and Chinese would fight and we would take over afterward. Brilliant!

Widely reportedly. The world needed a good laugh and Trump never fails.

It’s not even a new idea.

There’s an old British series that they sometimes show here called Conspiracy. It’s on Netflix. In an episode on Cold War conspiracy theories, one guy posits (at least somewhat plausibly as conspiracy theories go) that the Russian sub that blew up and sank off Hawaii in the late 60s was ready to launch when the missiles ignited in the tubes. He thinks that it was the result of a rogue KGB operation to bomb the US and blame it on the Chinese, resulting in war and leaving Russia the last one standing. A far better plot than what TFG came up with.

Meanwhile, on the domestic front, one-time Trump apologist abandons burning vehicle on exit ramp to tell grown-ups how they should think; passersby suggest it’s unlikely to age well:

William Barr Blames Democrats for Blocking Trump-Putin Détente in ‘One Damn Thing After Another’ (thedailybeast.com)

“Barr concludes: ‘Demonizing Putin is not a foreign policy. If the world is still in one piece after Biden’s term, the United States needs to explore the feasibility of putting our relations with Russia on a more positive footing.’’”

The term “putz” (pretentious pr–k) comes to mind here. Who is Rubio to determine whether or not a photo is innocuous or not?

Dumb and dumber.

Not at all. What Trump, uh, proposed was a literal “false flag operation” and the term goes back to the 16th century. I can think of several instances of it in history.

What Senator Idiot cannot seem to comprehend is that people much smarter than himself can figure out things that escape his tiny little mind.

The little scumbag was intentionally trying to get Zelenskiyy killed.

Why?

I’ll admit that the following is a stretch, even for WaR, but here goes:

If Zelenskiyy is possibly the person Putin would most like, right now, to see dead, and if Putin still owns/controls TFG and some percentage of #kompromatted GOP pols (not saying that Rubio is one of these), and if Marco wants to scuttle further into TFG’s good graces by getting Putin’s bete noir killed, then…

I’m not ruling anything out in these interesting times, but that would make Rubio the most hated person on the planet, or at least in the top five, and it seems far likelier that the twerpy little nonentity couldn’t resist tweeting because he’ll never stop thinking he’s going to have a comeback and be president. Just needs that one bit of extra buzz to get the old magic going!
