Vladimir Putin catastrophically miscalculated his invasion of Ukraine. For ‘the great strategist’, flush from his successes in seemingly restoring some of the lost greatness of Russia (former USSR), through his globally high profile military victories in Syria, and the sudden, bold and successful annexation of Crimea, the invasion and control of Ukraine seemed the proverbial ‘walk in the park’.

Of all the outrageously inappropriate and illegal actions Trump has taken as the US President, in his first and second term, and he has swamped all standards of accepted propriety, nothing has come close to penetrating his teflon-like invincibility as the deceased and America’s most notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has done.

America - the only country in the world that has almost annual intergovernmental fight between the two primary political parties to fund regular government operations and keep government functioning. It is normally unheard of for countries to even contemplate shutting government operations because of political-ideological differences amongst political parties, but, in America it definitely is a thing.
