People have to stop expecting Trump breaking a rule or precedent to be what puts an end to this. There are no guardrails, no referees, no institutional block. The only thing that will stop this is a grassroots movement of people organizing to reject an oligarchical takeover. That’s it. Period.

Trump is now reading directly from the Kremlin script and blaming Ukraine for being invaded. This is a wake-up call for all Europeans. How confident can anyone be that Trump would honour US commitments to NATO collective security if an emboldened Russia goes further?
