The article focuses on the recent setbacks experienced by four key political figures, labeling them as 'losers' due to their repeated failures. Donald Trump is highlighted first, as he faced a significant defeat at the U.S. Supreme Court regarding his chaotic trade policies, specifically the nullification of his customs strategy from the previous year. This downturn marks another challenge for Trump amid ongoing legal and political battles.

The second figure discussed is Vladimir Putin, whose fortunes have worsened significantly after four years of the Ukraine invasion. The Russian economy is reportedly in rapid decline, caught in a dilemma where ongoing war efforts are resulting in suffering, yet a sudden end to hostilities could precipitate an economic collapse. This creates a precarious situation for Putin, who is now reliant on the hope that disunity among European leaders might halt support for Ukraine and strengthen his position.

The article also touches upon Robert Fico and Viktor Orbán, noting their desperate attempts to maintain Russian oil and gas supplies amid the ongoing crisis. Their actions are described as not only absurd and cynical but ultimately futile, as both are also facing significant challenges. The threats directed at Ukraine concerning the malfunctioning Druzhba pipeline are characterized as empty gestures, a continuation of previous unfulfilled ultimatums. This highlights the broader implications of their geopolitical strategy amidst current tensions with Ukraine.
