I don't like "resist" because it omits the outcome. I want to defend our essential liberties and storied mode of government, and help to remind people what it means to be a responsible citizen. Some of those who voted a traitor into our nation's highest executive office aren't beyond help.

The Euromaidan protests in Kyiv started small but diverse too. A very heartwarming video from 2013 - and heartrending too, given what these people have been made to endure by Muscovy and the Kremlin crime syndicate.

It's a cool card, and Ukrainians would have none of that.

"One of the reasons for Russia’s social malaise is this diabolical cynicism on the part of the authorities, who peddle a completely fake reality. Russia’s citizens do not rise up against this cynicism. They withdraw into their own shells, becoming defenceless, wordless and inhibited. ⏬

"Narusova insisted that the President was always right about everything, but could not explain anything beyond that. This is highly typical of Putin’s supporters."

It's not about Greenland at all, or the now-historic USA that derived its legitimacy from a working civil society, capable of holding government to account.
It's all about traitor Trump's endlessly pathetic need to abuse people, institutions, and nations. Unchecked by his spineless lickspittles.

He has not given up on ending Ukraine as a free and independent European nation either, by attempting to zombify its civil society, and forcibly subsume it into his putative new Muscovite Reich. The Kremlin crime syndicate must be made to fail.

Sounds right, but not Shakespeare, quite. It's a variant on a Shakespeare quotation, from The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Sic:
These are my mates, that make their wills their law,

Have some unhappy passenger in chase.
They love me well; yet I have much to do
To keep them from uncivil outrages.

If patriots and Democrats don't tack to the center, while concentrating on calling traitor Trump out both on the dire human and lasting economic consequences of his team's concerted attempts to transmogrify the executive branch into an unaccountable government, then the spiral down may continue.

Kiitos. While I generally favor a government that takes great pains to not be more cruel than necessary, this is of course a special case, as he'd likely be off to Muscovy in an instant.

"life imprisonment for four war crimes and ordered him to remain in prison", unquote. So if I understand the translation correctly, there's no chance he'll be liberated for good conduct after say 15 years have passed, as can be the case in many countries with life sentences?
comment in response to

I hope that means he'll stay behind bars the rest of his life. There are countries where a life sentence can translate to 15 years depending on behavior.

It's traitor Trump turning Europe against the US. Xi is happy to take it from there. Same as when the first Trump disadministration abrogated the TPP free trade area - months later (!!) the RCEP was born.

It’s not “America First” to pull the rug out from under an ally and leave their people to die. This kind of foreign policy will end with no one in the world trusting America. Our alliances give us strength and the damage being done makes our country weaker and us all less safe.

Hallelujah, it was the only sensible choice given the circumstances, and should have happened far earlier.

With the excellence &critical mass of automation know-how of Europe, it is absolutely feasible to set up drone factories &coding labs that will enable Ukraine to evict Muscovy's minions. For a relatively tidy sum, but (im-)proper haste. Lest we become roadkill.

Donald Trump came in as a traitor to the republic, and will very likely leave this earth as a traitor to the republic. No more heinous habit.

As someone cogently put it:
Suck up to Trump, and you finish as roadkill.
Try to talk sense to him, and you finish as roadkill.
Buckle up, because I can't see the US improving.
Trump is addicted to lies and endless, mischievous power games. Europe must just get down to work.

Thumbs up for using the proper epithet for that man we put in our nation's highest executive office: #TraitorTrump.
He willfully and mendaciously attempted to undermine the foundational method we use to confer legitimacy upon our government. There must be a reckoning.
