Putin and Trump's Dream
I
In 2023, Trump won the presidential elections. On inauguration day Don Trump gave Putin a present, Ukraine. He said, with some history as backing, "nationalism" is a nuisance. We had no war with Russia when the Soviet Union existed. Ukraine is not as special as Israel. In fact Putin and I have plans to make the world more coherent, first in India and then in China.
II
India of British Empire and British East India company fame included Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Burma. Trump says, Just as David's Kingdom split into two, North as Israel & South as Judah, after that great Jewish king's death, that has happened to India. Let them all unite again under the name Pakistan. India is really a no-word name, since the river Indus no longer exists. "Hindu" really meant "Indu" and the Persians added an H for ease of pronunciation. You know the Samaritan's are alive and well, many in Nablus, what Roman Empire called Neapolis. HAVE you ever heard them complain, the Northern Kingdom's name has been stolen? IT is a bigger, better name ... for our great, democratic ally. So, too, Pakistan in a great name for a bigger, better South Asia.

Putin asked, O Great Donald, am I dreaming? The Trumpeter replied, in politics, what goes around, comes around. When I told America, RUSSIA IS BETTER OUR FRIEND THAN AN ENEMY, THEY BELIEVED ME. THEY WILL FOLLOW ME TO HELL. Platitudes notwithstanding ...
