REPORTER: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?

TRUMP: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.

This should be what Europeans feel. If Trump makes the USA walk away, he doesn't have a say in what Europeans do, especially as the Ukrainians have gone beyond decimating the Russian Military Threat and the Russian Economy is going down the plughole.

Ukr give up its nuclear weapons because of promises. And now? Why should anyone trust a word again?

This is a man who knows nothing. I watched slack-jawed as he told everyone how bad Spain was and that it was the 'S' in 'BRICS'. That means that whoever talks to him last gives him his cues. Putin knew that when they had their 90m phone call and gave him all his cues. He's been played.

Words fail. Trump is so unutterably stupid, yet wields so much power that can so easily destroy so much.

European political leaders lived in a faint and naive hope that US would continue its military support for Ukraine but Hegseth's announcement on NATO and Trump's call with Putin suggests cold and bitter reality has caught up with us in a brutal way. /2

This speech by Hegseth is bleak, very bleak and very clear on the US' (non) committment to Ukraine: https://www.defense.gov/News/Speeches/Speech/Article/4064113/opening-remarks-by-secretary-of-defense-pete-hegseth-at-ukraine-defense-contact/

It’s about values. In the school yard would Trump have defended the bullied kid or sucked up to “the big guy”? There’s your answer. Previously, we had a succession of US presidents who knew that sucking up to the big guy was the wrong thing to do. If you flinch before Russia, what about China?

Doesn't his first term seem rather quaint now, in comparison?

The United States has utterly humiliated itself by electing a demonstrable imbecile like Trump as its leader.

Predictable seeing the most valued series is "Yellowstone"

Very bleak. And if Europe is seen to defy Trump's 'amazing peace deal' then I'm very afraid that Trump is vindictive enough to withdraw US Sanctions on Russia.
