Stated, in public, by Putin and Xi years ago.

I think bigger. We have never intentionally sided with the axis of evil.

Perhaps consider not using the phrase 'the West' anymore? It's been rendered meaningless today.

Feels more like Trump,
Vance and Musk are aligned with Russia. The GOP in Congress is just afraid of Trump and the Dems are aligned with Ukraine and Europe

Good for historians, I guess.

Although I don't think that the American people have made that shift David. There's no doubt that our current president & vice-president have, but the American people have not. And we are ASHAMED today‼️

Can this geopolitical choice be sustained with the support of the American people?

David, what’s the possibility you could say that a segment of American did this? I despise being lumped into the anti-democracy Cabal that is only for theocracy and oligarchy and white supremacy.

Trump has managed to exit NATO without meeting the requirement of having a vote in favour of leaving by the Congress. A troubling day for the world.

Donald the Abuser
Anyone feeling those past abuse trauma vibs according to the victim/abuser dynamic?
Abuser sets up the abuse
Abuser blames the victim
Abuser assumes victim role
Abuser justifies behavior.
