Trump Invoked 'manifest destiny' in his inaugural address. At first I thought nothing more of that than " of course a white supremacist did that what else is new". However, after a very tumultuous month+, and the clear pivot to Russia, and Trumps open & pathetic submission to Putin and...

Important & interesting reporting from Politico regarding increased lobbying expenditure (or investment), by the European defense industry. Will their contracts be proportional, will policy capture follow as in the US ? www.politico.eu/article/eu-d...

The blatant pro-Putin behavior from Treasonous Trump and his entourage of sabotage has to met by severe political consequences. Today the US is ending intelligence sharing with Ukraine. The EU has to step up. The EU has to take on the mantle of leadership. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Politico 2017, describes Donald Trumps decades long history with Soviet and Russia. Read this, look at his current actions & statements on Ukraine, then tell me with a straight face POTUS relationship with Soviet/Russia is not a concern. "..like honey to a bee.." www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
