Not only is this crass, it is highly significant. Radosław Sikorski is perhaps the most Atlanticist major politician in Europe. And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk. They do not want us to be their friends, they do not want us to be their allies.

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

When the Nazis first came to power, within a few months, they raided the Institute for Sexuality which did the first studies of trans people. The books they seized were burned here, including a copy of Heinrich Heines poem that said, "where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too."
