Dear Commons Community,
British satirical magazine Private Eye took aim at President Donald Trump’s so-far unsuccessful attempts to broker an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — and his adulation of Russian President Vladimir Putin —with its scathing new cover.
The main headline read: “Russia Demands To Keep Captured Territory.”
A photograph below showed Putin declaring in a speech bubble: “Including the White House.”
Trump boasted during the 2024 presidential election campaign that he would end the conflict in Ukraine on his very first day back in the White House.
That didn’t happen.
Since returning to office, Trump has falsely claimed that Ukraine was to blame for being invaded and attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a “dictator.”
Private Eye is a long standing bi-weekly satirical publication, written by credible journalists exposing corruption and inept politicians. Its front covers are always poignant. Like this one.
Most poignant!
Tony
