Europe and Ukraine are learning how little the U.S. cares, as the new president aligns himself with their greatest enemy.
The thing about a war is it forces people to pick a side. And Donald Trump, it seems to many in Europe, is siding with Vladimir Putin.
Seven days of presidential interventions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict have made real the nightmares of Ukrainians and many of their allies, upending the transatlantic relationship that has underpinned European security since 1945.
If there were any lingering doubts about the extent of Trump’s willingness to make enemies in Europe, he ended it Tuesday night when he blamed Ukraine for having “started” the war with Russia. Such blatant defiance of the fact of Putin’s unprovoked invasion three years ago shocked even America’s most loyal friends in the region.
“Jesus,” one British government official said privately in response to the president’s outburst.
“We now have an alliance between a Russian president who wants to destroy Europe and an American president who also wants to destroy Europe,” another European diplomat observed in recent days, declining to be identified discussing sensitive matters. “The transatlantic alliance is over.”
There’s enough room on this planet for everyone, which rightly belongs to everyone, yet everyone’s at the mercy of a self-entitled few who want it all for themselves. Like, piss off already.
The planet rightfully belongs to no one. None of us deserve it.
I believe it was gifted to us, to sustain us, all of us… but have to agree we no longer deserve it.
Gifted? Lol we randomly evolved. There’s no gift, we just grew from monkeys and because it existed. What kind of religious BS is that
Then access to the Earth’s natural resources is our natural right, not a god-given right.
You addressed me, I responded… not to flatter you, but with my honest answer. If that doesn’t suit you, by all means carry on chatting with someone else.
Ukraine was never an ally. They are a customer.,
Musk’s America. Trump is an impotent CEO, answerable to Chairman of the Board of the USA Elon Musk. At least, that’s what it looked like to me in the Hannity interview. And once Musk deposes Trump, things are gonna get darker fast.
Obviously, I hope I’m wrong, this is all speculation, but holy shit this looks ugly.
Board of the UZA*
Does EM even have an opinion about Russia and Ukraine conflict? I highly doubt it
LOL do you not think there is an extraordinary amount of power, capital, and resources to be gained by inserting himself into the negotiations? Gimme a break. This guy has been broadcasting exactly who he is, it’s time people start believing him.
We’ve been low key rooting for russia, which makes sense as he is a racist oligarch.
Trump has always been Putin’s puppet.
Agreed. This is not NEWs
When Trump couldn’t get a loan from US banks in the '90s he took real estate investment funding from Russian oligarchs, he’s been in their pocket since the same year Dr Dre released The Chronic and the collapse of the USSR
Even before that. By some accounts, he was already in the pockets of the KGB in 1987.
This is part of the billionaire Network State global plan in the works. They took over the U.S., they want to break up the E.U.’s power, then weaken any country that will stand up to billionaires in any regulatory capacity. The rise of the right has just been a convenient mechanism to enact their power grab. The rich want to weaken all nation state power so they can be untethered by any power to counteract their will.
Donald’s ghostwriter penning “Mein Trumpf” as we speak
Going to doubt this one.
Trump is Putin’s ally. America is not Trump.
Wrong. America wasn’t Trump in 2012. I would even argue America wasn’t Trump in 2016. They were dumb, naive, optimistic, victims of thr EC… Pick your excuse. America wasn’t Trump in 2020.
Then they saw the insurrection, the nuclear secrets in the bathroom, the 11k votes mafia extortion, the sexual abuse liability, the racism, the criminal convictions, (let alone the whole first presidency dumpster fire) and on the other hand eggs were a bit expensive and they went with trump. En masse.
And now trump has the highest approval ratings, north of 50% even.
That excuse has sailed, America IS trump. Not everyone is, but enough are.
But Trump is America’s government.
america needs to dump trump, and fast. right now, HE ‘is’ america, and until the rest of america sheds themselves of him and the maga cult,
americathe world is fucked.Really? That’s odd, because he seems to be doing anything he wants right now, and no one is stopping him.
Trump’s friendship with Putin is not fresh news and American voters have not given a shit
In Iran there are also people who love democracy, but I am sorry to say that, just like in America, they are a minority.
If America is going to continue to be not Trump, it’s going to have to move fast.
With Musk threatening 60 Minutes staffers with prison and Trump taking over the FCC, it’s already moving into the official government-controlled media stage, and when (if) significant protests start happening, it’s going to quickly move into the gulags and mass graves stage.
And then, for all intents and purposes, the US will be Trump, like it or not.
