Thank you for sharing this. I wish we had more leaders in the US who are this clear-eyed and this willing to speak the plain truth. I hope that he is right about Americans waking up & fighting. And here we are in the strange position of hoping his call for a strong & united Europe succeeds.
In 9/87 I scrounged up enough $ to buy "Document", slipped it in my walkman and sat down to read some poems of Gregory Corso. When your "King of Birds" came on I turned the book's page to "The Poor Bustard." The first line: "I am not the King of birds." I still shudder. Thank you for your music
This speech should be on the lips of every American. Every Democrat, every Republican, everyone who loves this country & is trying to fight Mump's coup. We've been humiliated & dismissed on the global stage. An illegal immigrant is destroying our Constitution, and the Democrats censure bravery.
Putin said he will not make concessions. So why did Trump tell that there has been progress with Russia and that Putin would like peace? Putin wants to dictate terms and Trump only pressures Ukraine by suspending military and intelligence aid to Ukraine.
On November 11, 2024 one of Putin’s closest allies, Nikolay Patrushev, warned that, this time, Trump will “be obliged to fulfill” his “corresponding obligations.”

Trump is strong with the weak and weak with a strong parafascist imperialist as Putin.
