Trump is now an aide in Russia’s regime change plan for Ukraine. Europeans need to act NOW, not after the German elections, to make sure Ukrainians have an alternative. All the worst came true and there is no other way to put it than that the US is in Russia’s team now.

I hate the “Zelenskiy’s no Angel” narrative. Russia invaded Ukraine. It commits war crimes, it murders & tortures people in the occupied territories. Who GAF if Zelenskiy isn’t perfect? It’s not his side wreaking terror on innocent people. www.thetimes.com/article/a3f1...

It is not a badge of pride for a media organization like Axios to join Apple and Google in anticipatory obedience. Every org should refuse to participate where AP is barred— starve Trump of the media attention he desperately desires.

Democracy consists not in the unadulterated right of the majority to run roughshod over the minority, but in the unassailable right of the minority to live without fear. Odd that this should need to be repeated, in Munich of all places.
