He got his ear clipped, as I understand it. I presume he had it repaired by a plastic surgeon. From what I saw in photos, he should have a small scar, visible, but not noticeable without attention.
'The problem with the above is that now that Trump is almost a shoe-in, and has chosen JD Vance as running mate—who is extremely anti-Ukraine—Europe is panicking as it dawns on them that they truly will be on their own in buttressing Ukraine come next year. '
I think 'Europe is panicking' is a bit too general: quite a lot of bits of Europe don't see why they should be buttressing Ukraine anyway. It was always a US war, never a European one. Europe was just NATO satrapies too scared to tell the USA to go jump in the Atlantic Ocean - the whole coup d'etat in 2014 was accompanied by the 'f**k the EU!' remark of Nuland, after all, which should have told sentient EU leaders a decade ago that the USA was absolutely not an ally, let alone an honorable and trustworthy one.
Quite frankly, I suspect that Putin would be able to negotiate perfectly happily with Europe about Ukraine, with the USA firmly out of the picture and US troops rapidly leaving the European mainland and giving up all their imperialist bases.
MI6 would never go up against Putin alone in Ukraine, they are just equivalent to one wet work division, one dirty tricks division and one propaganda smearing division of the off-the-books parts of the Pentagon/CIA unauditable long grass.
Macron would have zero support within France for war and the Germans have always liked the Russians so would promote peace too.
So that leaves Poland. And the goons in Brussels, who may see the EU go the same way as NATO if they try wiggling their second-rate military appendages for all the world to see......
Of course, one could always be wrong, but Putin has said for 25 years that he is not interested in expanding Russian territories, he merely wishes to ensure that ethnic Russians in neighbouring countries are not discriminated against, genocided, cancelled etc etc.
So long as Europe lays down a sensible 'thou shall not advance Russia's Western borders one centimetre into Finland, the Baltic States, Moldova, Poland, Hungary, Romania etc' as a non-negotiable red line, one suspects that both sides can lay down their red lines in meeting one and then start constructive diplomacy on 'matters of mutual interest and concern'.
So long as the US Russophobia is kicked out of europe lock, stock and barrel, peace can emerge quite rapidly.
As long as it remains, the madfolk will still hanker after wars that their children should all die in, their life savings should be lost in and their cultural icons should all be blown up in.
Of course, if they knew up front that those would be the prime casualties, perhaps they might consider such wars to be 'unacceptable collateral damage'.....??
Isn't the concept of 'multipolarity' in Eurasia fun??!!
Presuming Trump is a shoe in (because of or in spite of the DNC), i'm inclined to go with the "6-ways to Sunday" assessment of the in-security services.
Trump is being told to tow the deep state line, or else. Don't be too surprised when JD Vance casts the tie breaker vote in favor of the deep state.
JD Vance is in bed with the Biodefense Cartel, and do you think THEY will do something about the mRNA Atrocities ???? Just saying I never relly on wikipedia for informations
So, Trump got an 'earing ?
or, a cuffing ?

Yes, and, "There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen".
Watch Trump's speech tomorrow.
Trump can do a bunch of nationalist deals with other sovereign nations if he is not blocked.

I see your point, and I suspect that you see my point, that Trump had a "road to Damascus" epiphany.
Time will tell, and not very much time, at that.
I am watching his behavior, and his speech tomorrow should reflect changes.
There is no difference between Vance and Pence, it is all Militarized Complex, all theater again, again and again !!!!
There are a lot of differences between Vance and Pence. You may not have read much about their lives:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._D._Vance
I can't tell how Vance will perform, should he live to be VP. We can watch for clues.
JD Vance is in bed with the Biodefense Cartel, and do you think THEY will do something about the mRNA Atrocities ???? Just saying I never relly on wikipedia for informations
I am just watching.
I am not vouching for Vance in any way, just saying that he and Pence are different people.
Vance did not have a near-death-epiphany. Only Trump did, and we shall see how that plays out.
Wikipedia is often ok for facts, but they are a CIA-managed site.
Hear ya Doc, I am not judging you You are making a lot of good Post, it is just that I do not trust this guy at all, it smell terribly fishy !!!!!
I'm not advising trust, just observation with understanding.
I'm voting for Jill Stein again, unless Trump changes on Palestinian rights.
