The POTUS and VP are working at the moment very hard to find a strategy and solution to end the Ukraine war.
One is golfing ⛳ the other one is skiing⛷️
Disinvite the US from G7, NATO, and terminate its many bases around the world. Let it be in the same league with Russia, China, North Korea, and Israel
Russia badly needs another revolution, but they keep most people in the dark, exposed only to propaganda.
Perhaps some WW11 tactics of dropping leaflets to inform them why their loved ones are being sent to death.
So while Comprade Vance goes off skiing in Vermont (although getting booed out of his hotel) & Comrade Trump goes to Florida probably to golf, Macron, Trudeau, Starmer, Zelensky, and a host of others reshape the world.
Still don't get why Europe keeps insisting on "talking" to comrade donald.
He obviously has no intention of stopping the war without complete submission to Russia.
Starmer should be talking to Putin, tell him to get out of Ukraine or Europe will bomb the crap out of Moscow.
TRUMP, MUSK, MAGAts & THOSE EVIL DANGEROUS GREEDY OLIGARCHS WILL DESTROY OUR ECONOMY OUR DEMOCRACY & START NUCLEAR WAR AFTER THEY LOOT THE TREASURY! DENY DEFEND DEPOSE RESIST NOTZIS
Yesterday Vladimir Putin unleashed a missile strike to 'sink' a British cargo ship
And now we know what happens when Putin has the US on his side.
Balance of power is gone - US power no longer offsetting Russia power - wider wars are coming to our world and w it global economy 🔥
The "joke" figures in the White House are a disgrace. The Russian mafia has the power. Where are the heroes and upright Americans? The fighters for good and justice. Finally come out of your houses and show yourselves. The world needs "heroes" now
In my opinion only two things can save this country. Mass demonstrations in the millions (not thousands) or a deep recession. We can’t expect anything from the cesspool of spineless creatures in DC to do anything.
100% true. I remember posting a similar comment on Facebook six or seven years ago. I think this crew is working to dismantle the country and hand it to Russia, while they profit from the ruse protected by the world's ascendant fascists.
Do you think we have enough senior military officers to resist the military MAGA officers? It's clear a lot of military folks skew right. But many are Reagan right, which is antithetical (at least as foreign policy goes) to MAGA right.
They don't hand it to Russia. They have already handed it to Corporate America. Your true enemies are Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and the like. Russia is just a pet project.
The difficulty that Europe has, at the moment, is that there is a team of world-dominance loons on either side of them: Russia and America.
The fact that these, normally opposed, countries are colluding to destroy the 'shared power' in between them is a situation that only became clear this wkend.

Trump said in his campaign he wanted to be a dictator on day 1. Zelensky has the integrity to stand up to dictators, like a true leader of the free world 🙏🏼
For better or for worse we were the leader of the free world. It got us not just respect but also a lot of cushy deals & a seat at every table. Unfortunately the rich decided they hate paying taxes so we’re giving up our leadership role. Trump is making sure our word is untrustworthy.
With all due respect, only Americans think you were the leader of the free world, stop with this pretentious myth.
The majority of the civilized world beyond your borders sees you as the belligerent policeman of the planet, defending its own interests everywhere, often at the expense of others.
Take away Trumps state visit. Don’t reward the thug for the way he treated a President from another country. Every country will be next if the pampered little guy doesn’t get what Russia wants. He tries to be tough but he’s a coward. Americas nightmare
Boff on us Canadians 25% more if wee défense herself

More military spending, more escalation—where’s the push for diplomacy? If we’re at a “crossroads,” why is every path leading to war instead of peace? A true leader would prioritize de-escalation, not endless arms races. #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #DiplomacyNotWar
I was a registered Republican when I enlisted. I voted for Reagan the first time. Reagan opened my eyes. The difference between the attitude towards us, our value and welfare, in foreign policy. Was huge. Piss on democracy in other countries. Since then the Republicans keep getting worse and worse.
Well well, looks like the American that the world knew and respected has disappeared, it was a long running experiment you did, good luck in the future
Send them some nukes. That’d give Putin pause. They gave up their nukes after the Cold War with the promise that we would defend their territorial integrity.
The last time the US took an isolationist stance was between WWI & WWII.
Prior to WWII our army was rated 16th in the world. We had fewer troops than King George sent over to quell the Rebellion in the Colonies.
Per the prologue: William Manchester's "The Glory and the Dream."
We NEED alliances.
The US is paying the price for not ending this war quickly. Weakness leads to defeat, in this case the US has been defeated by Russia and will soon be its vassal.
Trump is forcing the EU into the Ukraine war to please Putin.
The best chance at winning a war with Russia is a nuclear first strike. Our sons and daughters will be fighting WW3 with N. Korea and Russia as our allies against Europe.
As a European I am prepared to pay more taxes so we can build a European defense network. I will pay more for European products or for products that are not from the USA. I am also in favour of banning Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon etc. I value our principles and abhor those of the US.
Truth. Here in the UK we need to plan for a life without our closest allies. Trump and MAGA are truly dangerous. Level headed Republicans need to hang their heads in shame for not speaking up. Putin will shaft anyone and everyone and only a fool thinks otherwise.
even though I’m from the USA & it would be cutting my nose off to spite my face, Id fully support the rest of the world cutting us out of a coalition and even nato if it would knock the wanna be king off his throne and destroy the politicians and billionaires that have kissed his ring and his ass.
Well played, Starmer! Coalition of the willing, that includes the US. France and UK doing the heavy lifting ,leadership wise , is the obvious answer to the US hesitancy..
Good. That's the way it should be. Europe needs to stop sponging off the US. Trump is a moronic piece of filth, but it's good for the world to understand that moronic pieces of filth happen and that they need to be reliant on themselves.
1) Which shows how foolish it is for anyone to give up nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are good.
2) That's not at all clear, and everyone seems to have a vested interest in obfuscation. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crew8y7pwd5o
Another graphic shows that most of the European funding is loans and American is grants. But whatever - Ukraine is on Europe's doorstep, and they should be the ones doing the heavy lifting. It's a good wake-up call.
A curious question came up earlier. How much did allies spend on behalf of the USA in the "war against terror"?
Were they ever repaid? If the US paid that debt, those countries could donate it to Ukraine and pay their entire US war debt off in one go, with money to spare.
Don't talk shte. Less people in the allies are hurt by "terrorists" than are killed in high school slaughters in the USA, and you guys couldn't care less about them!
There are no hordes of violent terrorists here... never have been. There are people searching for safety and economic opportunity!
Look up the Budapest Pact. US dishonouring their promises. We have given more than the US who included old weapons that were to be decommissioned. We supported the US in Afghanistan, Iraq etc. it is wrong & disingenuous to say we have been sponging off the US. We did need to increase support though.
I still am stunned this is happening and our military and security services that took an oath to defend the Constitution and nation against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC are doing NOTHING against these MAGA Nazis.
They know that they can no longer trust the United States when it comes to stopping despots and dictators. Is it bcuz the US is being run by a bunch of Nazis? Perhaps…
I'm just waiting for the very first time in American history. that we would put a President and his cabinet members along with the Republican representatives in jail. Because they wouldn't do anything to stop the destructive ruining and ripping off of our nation.
Europe does need to step up and become stronger now that the US is proving an unreliable ally.
We’ve come a long way down from when Europe, Canada and all of NATO rallied around the US after 9/11.
It’s disgraceful, but the new reality (until the US electorate finds its sanity again..if they can?).
After Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s recent diplomatic debacle with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, I thought it might be helpful to contrast the current administration’s approach with that of President Jimmy Carter:
Trump is basically an Oblast Govenor. Like many Oblast governors they are handpicked by Putin and are loyal due to fear of the kompromat he holds over them. The citizens of Oblasts have learned not to speak out against the leaders. Trump limits speech with MAGA that threaten those that speak out.

With UK and EU now providing for their own defense, US can cut its own defense spending. I'd like to see it cut by 50%. That's a half trillion $.
Those funds can be used to improve public education and healthcare here. And maybe even save SS and Medicare.
Perhaps some WW11 tactics of dropping leaflets to inform them why their loved ones are being sent to death.

2) Europe has already given more than the US in aid to Ukraine.

You heard it here first.

March on DC; arrest Trump & co.; hold them for trial in DC for harm to federal workers by violating labor laws. Forget SCOTUS & the fascist five.
Then, try him for treason:
