As someone who has studied history as well, this reminds me of Renaissance popes who pushed countries around like pieces on a chessboard. The end result was usually a giant mess. Unstable foreign relationships usually result in revolutions or sudden wars.
A bit of psychiatry. My husband (without an official diagnosis, he doesn't want to),will repeat whatever was last said to him. Putin could manipulate him in no time. I think Trump has lost his identity too. He doesn't know much about anything and yet he confidently repeats other people's ideas.
Trump being a blatant liar is hardly news. Every wannabe autocrat throughout history have used lie as their primary political weapon. To see the speed with which he has been able to adopt Russian lies into US foreign policy is surprising. Especially with the entire GOP as silent bystanders
If I can google and see the quotes from putin on why HE invaded Ukraine then I am quite sure the media that wrote and reported on the invasion can do the same thing. All the loss of life and this asshole(trump) has no problem giving it to putin. It is retribution plain and simple. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Finally is this a sign the US Universities are going to take their roles seriously and say something about the representative of a number of themes they teach on?
Your eyes and ears are not lying. Vladimir Putin captured the White House. Five or six cabinet members can be presumed to be Putin agents. He likely also has agents among staff and aides.
Finally a post about this pompous ahole’s statement about Ukraine! He may be the all powerful Wizard of Oz 🇺🇸 but he is also the laughing stock of the free world. He should shut his big mouth! Canada 🇨🇦 stands with freedom. We stand with Ukraine ❤️ 🇺🇦
(a) he's easily manipulated with flattery. Something a former KGB agent will be taking full advantage of
(b) he likes getting revenge. Zelensky stood up to him in Impeachment 1
(c) he's almost 80 and got confused during the election campaign (e.g over Alaska/Afghanistan)
Putin bought Trump meme coin in exchange for a new political alignment... it's that simple.
Meanwhile the right-wing people around Trump are following along for ideological reasons.
Tell us something we don't know like what Congress is going to do about it? We already know he's morally disgusting. This speech didn't shock me. I'm not shocked anymore, but sitting here waiting for consequences that will never come.
Remember that Trump had no idea ‘what Pearl Harbor’ was about! So, although Trumps warped view on Ukraine is disgraceful, that view should not come as a surprise!
Well of course it is suprising, but hey, the guy is a numbskull!
Trumps head must be full of horseshit. No moral or brains what so ever. So far on 'morally disgusting'. But how could 80mln people vote for this idiot ? A democratic system can't survive without somehow educated people that can distinguish a born liar clown from a realist. Work to be done in the US.
This fascist scumbag would like to sell us all out in a rerun of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. Time Europeans wake up to the realization that breaking up Europe is Trumps explicit goal.
This is simply Trump's revenge. Remember 2019? When Trump tried to blackmail Zelenskyy by not delivering congress approved aid without first receiving 'dirt' on Biden? It failed (there was no dirt), but Trump simply hated Ukraine ever since. Sadly, that is all. There is nothing more to it.
The thing about sociopaths is that they sleep soundly at night. The "morally disgusting" tone isn't new to American history. It's the vibration of said tone that poisons a national & international audience as quickly & loud like never before heard.

Funny that.
So when I know it when I see it, that means my neighbors know it too.
Now if we can get them to admit it, we can fix this.
If the masses stay in denial, we’re 1930s Germany

The US is officially now governed from Moscow…
