That, we know, is a lie. Donny cannot be bothered to read anything. He has always been too lazy to read the briefings. Hell, he doesn't have the patience to have the read to him. And why should he bother. He's told us many times he knows more about everything than anybody else.

reporter: “do you see any future in which Ukraine returns to its pre-2014 borders?”

Donny: “well I think Pete said today that it’s unlikely, right? it certainly would seem to be unlikely. [Russia] took a lot of land, they fought for that land, and they lost a lot of soldiers. but it would just seem to me, and I’m not making an opinion on it, but I’ve read a lot on it, and a lot of people think that’s unlikely.”


Made in the mold of Neville Chamberlain.

if I’m parsing Donny’s word salad correctly, he’s implying that because Russia has suffered casualties — in the war they started — they should get to keep the Ukrainian land they illegal annexed? what, like as a consolation prize? is that how we’re doing foreign policy now? Crimea is a participation trophy?

what about the Nazis? they fought hard and lost a lot of soldiers in World War II. should they have been allowed to keep Poland?

what about us? maybe Secretary of State Liddle Marco should phone up Vietnam and explain that because we fought hard and lost a lot of soldiers back in the 1960s, maybe we should get Saigon.
