Remember ‘the A-team’? I loved that show. The wonderful George Peppard. who was also Banacek, who drove one of these fabulous cars. Just so you know.

A-team. A metaphor for bringing in your best game, your top people, the do-ers, the movers and shakers, the big thinkers and the uber-strategists. That’s an A-team. And that what ‘we’ are sending to Washington today to sort out Donald Trump. The heavy hitters. The ones who won’t be intimidated by The Great Orange one (blessed be he) and his team of loud-mouthed, aggressive attack dogs. ‘We’ are going to the White House to protect little Zelensky from the brutal attack he received last time he went there.

Not this time. This time he has the unwavering strength of… errrr… well, Kier Starmer!!! And you can’t get more scary than him. Unless you go to a movie which isn’t ‘PG’ rated. Macron’s going, to provide his usual spineless arrogance, and Georgia Meloni, for a bit of right wing glam. The German chancellor will be there, just because he’s actually taller than Trump and if they decide to ‘shoot hoops’ for parts of Ukraine, he’ll come in handy. Ursula Von Der Leyen will be there too. No-one knows why, nor cares one way or the other. And the head of NATO, to make up the numbers. Because NATO remains totally taboo for Putin. Who has, according to Trump, agreed to a ‘Nato-equivalent’ security force in Ukraine, run by America. And as America pays for most of NATO, this could be a problem for the Russians.

Trump, the ‘deal maker’ is a loud, brash imbecile. Whilst Putin is a clever little fucker who you wouldn’t leave in charge of your children for 10 minutes. So whatever ‘the deal’ which never got done but will be done and was good to talk and we need to stop the killing and all the other Trumpesque say-nothing-of-substance speak, might be, to even make the attempt without Ukranian representation was a move of total conceit on the part of both ‘world leaders’.

Today will be better. There’ll be an elephant in the room, but that’s better than having Putin in the room, its safer. But it will be so interesting to see how ‘Europe’s finest’ can manage all that ‘sycophantic disagreement’ with the ‘great’ (big) Man. How do you argue and suck-up at the same time? Particularly when Starmer calls walking whilst breathing ‘multi-tasking’.

The A-Team? He’ll slaughter them. And all their ‘left-wing’ centrism.

Happy Monday
