So, guess who had a Trump card to play against Trump? [View all]

I am busting a gut with laughter.

The US is going to Ukraine to ask for help to fight against Iranian drones, since Ukraine has experience with this form of warfare.

Zelenskyy is a diplomat. I know inside he's saying: Who holds all the cards now, mother fucker?

But on the outside he's going to play his cards to benefit his people. So, in the end Trump will be forced to hand over the muleta to Zelenskyy to perform the estocada on Russia.

How poetic.
