Bruised ego because someone stood up to him. For the next 4 years at least, the U.S. is not a reliable partner and Europe should be doing everything in its power to reduce dependence on the U.S.just like they should have reduced any dependence on Russia in 2014.

I don't think Trump is being blackmailed or bribed by Russia. I think he genuinely believes that a richer, bigger country should be able to do whatever it wants to smaller neighbours, and that Ukraine's defiance of Russia spits in the face of some imagined gangster-capitalist proper world order.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

"...why have we taken so long to do anything? And why do we keep losing? The reason is simple. They are at war while we are not. We have two types of enemies, right-wing nationalists and Russia. They’re separate but make common cause." @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social

Europe, the time for empty talk is long gone, we must unite and act now. Russia and other totalitarian states will pick off European states one by one, bringing perpetual war to the continent, if we fail to defend Ukraine. Don't wait for the US to save us all, it won't happen. #UkrainianView

I am not American, but from what I have observed over the last few weeks, is the complete dismantling of the US infrastructure. Safety, Healthcare, security, history, the list goes on and on. What are you doing about it? Nothing! In 6 months the USA will be a pariah state ruled by an immigrant.

Sure glad the Democrats deferred to seniority and kept AOC from being minority leader on the House Oversight Committee. Nothing at all going on that could benefit from a clarion voice and skilled communicator in that role. No, thankfully instead they got... ... I literally don't know his name.
