If Trump was President in 1940, then he would have told Winston Churchill that Hitler had all the cards and the British need to surrender to the Nazis to make the killing stop.

I feel sick after watching that orange troll ramble on for almost two hours. The scary thing is, does he know he is lying or does he actually believe the bs that seems to come so naturally to him?
Imagine if Trump was in the 80's movie "Red Dawn". He'd lay out the welcome mat for the invaders then sabotage, gaslight and undermine the Wolverines at every possible opportunity!
"They used to have churches. Beautiful, big, lovely churches.
Now it's all gone. And all they have left is Churchill. That's veto sad, I mean very sad. It's a sad, sad thing. And I want it over"
There are only two things that are difficult here for trump:
1. portraying putin as someone who is not a war criminal
2. trying to make the world compatible with the simplistic, revisionist and hateful propaganda of maga
That's why he lies all the time.
That's why he can't stand to be debunked.
Europe has been in this situation before and we have learned from it. It seems that US politicians have a bad memory. But soon they will start remembering again.
FDR knew that it would take more than sneaking a few planes over the Canadian border to keep the United States out of this war, so he persuaded Congress to amend the Neutrality Acts to allow for the unrestricted sale of supplies and weapons to European allies on a “cash and carry” basis.
Trump is an echo of Alanson Kimball, history repeats itself.
“Some Americans were 'traumatized,' if you will, by the fact that our World War I allies had borrowed a lot of money from the United States to buy weapons and food, and never paid it back,” Kimball says.
No, just the same shit. President Franklin D. Roosevelt believed that the best way to keep American troops out of World War II was to help the British and French defeat Hitler without US. That required money, ammunition and equipment - foreign aid that was expressly forbidden by the neutrality laws.
Pres. Zelensky stands as the Winston Churchill of our time, embodying the leadership qualities we all seek and want in our leaders. In stark contrast, Donald Trump mirrors Benito Mussolini, either unaware or blind of the fate Mussolini met for aligning himself with Hitler.
He wants a new "Munich Betrayal" and is screaming at and dressing down the leader of Czechoslovakia for not saying "thank you for helping me surrender sir". Never been more disappointed in my country.
This US administration is Ernest Lundeen of 1940. This guy, a representative of Minnesota, insisted that UK, the last country standing against Hitler in Europe, says "THANK YOU, USA" and then seize british territory as a reparation for existentially important military and humanitarian assistance.
Those of us who try to follow Russian economists and bloggers know that Russias economy is on artificial respiration. A year... maybe two. Then it's over.
Unless, of course, Musk and Trump support Putin with US tax dollars. Which, unfortunately, could happen.
True, I made this argument a lot of times.
In that case I (living in the Netherlands) would speak German today and our language would have disappeared.
A valid point well made Jake! This is all we can do here in the UK. https://stoptrump.org.uk Everyone I know is fully behind Ukraine. Glory to the heroes!
If we consider the population of America, if 100 million people, Democrats and Republicans who support Ukraine, gave $100 to Ukraine in just one month, $10 billion would be transferred to Ukraine in just one month.
Donald Trump only values wealth and power. But for 250 years that is not how America has chosen its allies. We have chosen our allies based on shared values (democracy and human rights).
Trump would have looked at this map and instantly said, "I want to be allied with that guy."
And besides, when Winston Churchill asked for support in the White House in 1941, he would have invited the Nazi press and asked Churchill in front of them:
"Why don't you wear a suit? Do you own a suit?”
The transatlantic alliance was built on largely common shared interests and shared values. Under Trump, the US and the rest of the alliance have fewer shared interests and almost no shared values.
Is there any doubt about it? Jake, sorry to tell you bro but your country isn't a democracy any longer and i don't think you ll ever have it back for a while, your people are getting subjugated as we speak and europe will follow when America invades us. Idc about me by it sucks that my children⬇️
😅👍. American here..things usually darkest before dawn 🤷♂️. 🇺🇸 does tend to oppose dictator, does tend to oppose fascists and having exhausted every other option can be a force for good. Tend + can being qualifiers there 😉
Rose tinted view again your "democracy" has always been a feeble watered down version. Nothing like what you laud it to be.
You still allow disenfranchisement through objection to voting rights, gerrymandering is rife and then there's the we don't trust you to vote for yourselves electoral college.
Haha what have you all Cpt Obvious today 😂 I'm swiss, I surely know that !!
My point was that it would have make no sense at all to attack Switzerland back then, as it is for Groenland today 🤗
It is not just about alliances. Trump has even copied the economic guidlines from Putin and think it is an advantage to be isolated and produce everything within the country. The succsess we can see in the bancrupt Russian economy.
but Sir Winston wouldn't have gambled with thousands of líves by Nazi AmeriKKKa thó. Her Majestys secret service MI5 would've slain Agent Saboteur Krasnov.
Excellent comparison and sad at the same time. Trumpin is just Putin's bitch. I'm sad for my American friends but we will temporarily need to boycott US products and impact their economy until Trump impeachment and Musk visit to psychiatrist hospital

Trump, Musk, Vance, Rubio, ..... simply all of this dangerous, anti- human administration!
Your cup will be officially handed to you by Macron next week.

History sure does rhyme, don’t it?
$var ="Perl Harbor";
if ($var =~ /^[+-]?\d+$/ ) {

} else {

}
Sorry for the IT neediness. 😁🤪
(Sincerely, I 100% agree with your original post) 😁

🇺🇦 continues destroying strategic assets that will most likely cost a lot of money & take time to rebuild.
Maybe 🇺🇦 will destroy all of 🇷🇺's strategic assets. Send 🇷🇺 back to the stone age.
