So, the GloboCap-Resistance
Minneapolis Putsch appears to have not gone exactly to plan. Once again, Trump failed to go full-Hitler, despite their best efforts to goad him into doing so. They gave it quite a good shot, however. It was more or less a
textbook regime-change op, or "color revolution," or whatever you call it. All the essential pieces were in place.
All they needed Trump to do was declare himself dictator and impose martial law, so the generals could step in and remove him from office.
Unfortunately for the Resistance, Trump didn't do that. Instead, he did what he usually does, which is
make a total ass of himself on international television. Which...OK, was cringeworthy, but didn't quite provide the GloboCap gang with the pretext they needed to perp-walk him out of the Oval Office. Which, needless to say, was incredibly frustrating.
After four long years of propaganda foreplay, there we were, finally at the moment of truth, and Adolf goes and loses his erection.
This guy is the worst literal Hitler ever.
Comment: While the Skripals appear to have given various 'proofs of life', such as an unnamed source receiving a Christmas card from them, as reported by the Sunday Times, there has been no confirming evidence.
Dances with Bears comments that Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand says the Skripals are not in the country. One presumes she would know. Australia has also denied hosting the Skripals. Neither want to become embroiled in the US/UK/Russia tussle over the fate of the family. Unfortunately, the legal position of New Zealand vis a vis the Hague Convention, make it an attractive place for the UK to stash them out of reach of British courts.
