The defeated former president, marveling at Vladimir Putin’s invasion:
“He’s taking over a country — really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”Imagine FDR marveling at Hitler.
But what really strikes me here is the idea that a country is nothing more than a property, something to take as one’s own. Not a culture, not a history, just “a great piece of land,” with a lot of people on it, and a good price — just “two dollars” in sanctions. It’s the same mentality that let the defeated former president see Greenland as something to buy (or trade Puerto Rico for), and the same mentality that lets him see women as parts to be grabbed at will.

It's all real estate to the Donald; he's literally too stupid to think of it any other way. What sickens me is his enablers (and Putin's) in the GOP.
It's hard to admit that this former president is a real person, not a fictional, over-the-top character from some biting work of satire.
