"Both the president and vice president showed the U.S.-led alliance system something it needed urgently to know: The national-security system of the West is led by two men who cannot be trusted to defend America’s allies—and who deeply sympathize with the world’s most aggressive dictator."

Warning to South Korea, Nippon and Taiwan - this is the way how the US will treat and threat you as an ally. Don‘t rely on a Tronald Dump regime - you will be stabbed in the back by this pack. Search for reliable partnerships in the remaining free world.

They can't be trusted to defend America's interests either.

They can’t be trusted to be left alone with children, let alone the country.

Zelensky proved to the world that it's time EU accepts that America can no longer be their ally. NATO is obsolete. They must form a new alliance without America. Putin will never stop being the aggressor. It's time to prepare for WW3.

Trump will unite free world
Against both, ruSSia and rUsSiA

I stand with Ukraine!

Is trump working for Putin? It certainly seems like it.

Embarrassing!

This was Jerry Springer diplomacy, a vulgar, premeditated public attack to raise the pulse of Trump's cult of mouth breathers. Trump hopes Zelensky's "disrespect" will give Trump cover for colluding with Putin.

Clearly, when this is over we have some shoring up to do of our republic.

Trump is such a small minded, egotistical, criminal. He's hectoring and bullying a man who is not only more courageous than him but speaking a foreign language. I hope Zelensky told Trump to f... off in Ukrainian.

"The good and great America that once inspired global admiration—that good and great America still lives. But it no longer commands a consensus above party. The pro-Trump party exposed its face to the world in the Oval Office today. Nobody who saw that face will ever forget the grotesque sight."

I'm Polish and Ukranian and I would have been thrown out of there.

They just wanted him to kiss the ring and got mad when he didn’t.
Embarrassing.

Exactly, it shows what a small minded, egotistical man Trump is especially when contrasted with yesterday when the British Prime Minister flatters and plays Trump like a violin.

Blame the Victim is the only strategy he knows.

Trump is a total incompetent. He's destroying the country every day in a dozen different ways: demolishing alliances, betraying allies, destroying the federal workforce, destroying jobs and the economy.

He has no interest in "American interests." He's only interested in himself.

Embarrassed American and disgusted veteran here. Wondering if I should burn all my ribbons, awards, uniforms and medal. What do you think?

There was no effort to make peace, only unconditional surrender.

The United States is now an occupied country and the people in it should act as if they are occupied with a commitment to nonviolence, to win friendship and understanding from opponents, and to suffer without retaliation. MLK

A sobering article.

The wheels have fallen off the American little red, white and blue wagon.
