I am starting to suspect that Felon47 is not just catastrophically bad for the USA. Given the unpredicted military troubles Russia is experiencing as the 2nd best army in Ukraine, it just makes sense to look at the factors that weren't taken into consideration when doing the assessments prior to Russia's initial attack on Ukraine.
No one in the Intel community would have actually expected POTUS to run interference for Vladimir Putin. Our nation was (rightfully to my thinking) concerned about the expansion of the conflict to the point where a NATO ally was threatened or harmed which would result in us having to respond to an Article 5 situation.
While I never actually thought Putin's initial estimates of a week or less to take the capital, I did think that Ukraine would lose the hot war and then spend the next 20 or so years in a guerrilla war that would keep Russia occupied and out of the affairs of the "free" world.
The only reason I can come up with as to why the professionals - and my own - assessments were so wrong is that Felon47 is so mind-numbingly incompetent that his efforts to run interference for his Vladdy Daddy have actually helped Ukraine. Other nations are willing to undertake extreme measures to assist Ukraine in no small part because they hate Trump and want him to fail. Putin might have benefited from access to the American Intelligence apparatus but the Felon pays no attention to them and in some ways, they are comfortable with that. If Putin says it, the Felon takes it as gospel. So Putin has no one on his staff and no major allies that are willing and capable to tell him the truth or to demand the truth from him.
There are two major rules you must follow to win a war. Know your enemy. Know yourself. Trump is too ignorant for rules and it is starting to look as though his ignorance is contagious.
It could not happen to a more deserving dictator.
