The thing I find most troubling in all this is where the sane voices in Washington have gone? The Democrats have basically clammed up and vanished into the ether, but where are the likes of the joint chiefs, the senior bods in the security services, these kinds of people. Surely there must be SOMEONE in the entire USA who’s prepared to stand up and say “actually this is wrong”? Have they all collectively lost their spines?
I guess they're just doing the same as all the moderate Tories, who have let the party be taken over by right wing loonies trying to out-Farage the man himself.

Trump is on Putin's side (again), against Europe in general and Ukraine in particular. He doesn't give a flying feck about foreign policy or international security.
Everything he (or his proxies) have done or said in the past few days, relation to Ukraine has either been a lie, or just downright wrong.

In saying that Ukraine should not expect to retain all their original borders, or that they shouldn't expect to join NATO, he has already given away the Wests biggest negotiation position and power to Putin - who must be laughing (again) at Trumps attempt to play the hard man.

Trump said something about "I have the power to stop this war" - which sums up his over-inflated ego, and obsession very nicely.

How would he react if Mexico arbitrarily got together with Russia to agree how to take back New Mexico?

<end rant>

And further despicable shite from the ginger moron today about Zelensky...its amazing how he always manages to make a bad situation worse.
And yet, STILL absolute morons like some on here (one of whom still getting away with offering nothing other than laughing emojing every other post) lap up his every action. The mind boggles

Trump is transactional.

Remember him binning the plan to cancel TikTok when he saw that data on how the platform helped get him elected?

I suspect that he has seen classified information on how Russia has interfered in both of his successful elections and is repaying the favour. No more. No less.

That's a great point I hadn't considered before - some truth in that, I'm sure

If you speak out against the President - you lose your job. Look at the FBI and others who investigated the Jan 6 stuff. It's that simple now. And just what a dictator does.

And they have the temerity to lecture Europe on free speech.

It's unreal. Lecture Europe about free speech when he and his cronies are acting in exactly the opposite manner, as is always the case with dictators. The associated press being barred from the oval office for not calling gulf of Mexico the gulf of America, as another example.
