The people who bemoan the so-called decline of Judaeo-Christian values are the same people who are trying to perpetrate this outrage. These people read the parable of the Good Samaritan and thought "loser."

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

Vance’s grotesqueness aside, the whole thing is one of the most horrific acts of betrayal ever committed by a democratic state against another. Just a moral abomination and a permanent stain on everyone who supports it

Zenelskyy didn't fold when Russia was raining bombs on his head and it looked like their army was going to be in Kyiv within days. He's not going to be intimidated by Trump's angry ranting.

Trump calls Zelensky “a dictator without elections” having lauded Putin, a man who hasn’t had a free or fair election in years and who has prevented elections in Ukraine because he invaded.

Vance was right on just one thing: Europe lacks a clear positive vision of what it wants to defend. The answer must be "the things Vance rejects": truth, science, liberal democracy, rule of law, resisting dictators, climate action. It will have to do that without, & sometimes against, the US Govt.

Pains me a bit to say it, but de Gaulle was right all along wasn't he. De Gaulle was right about the Americans and the Brits and Europe in the end.
