Hostile lying to generate acrimony and division is the Trump administration’s policy towards NATO and Europe. It’s stupidly self-harming for America, but that’s what they want. Still, it’s worth noting that the only way JD Vance can claim they haven’t been valuable allies is lying. Blatantly lying.

Presumably, this government by Truth Social posts will define exactly what an “illegal protest” is, and that definition will not be so broad that it encroaches on free speech guarantees we’ve enjoyed for two centuries.

As I keep reminding anybody who will listen. It took all of 37 days from the assassination of Franz Ferdinand to Germany troops crossing the borders of Luxembourg and Belgium. That's how long it takes for a world to fall apart. 37 days.

Did not expect to see the fate of the world to hang on which Trump wants most, Putin's friendship or the Nobel Peace Prize.

Well, I will say that for me at least, ten years ago, even the slightest sliver of a possibility of war between USRUSSIA vs Europe was hardly conceivable

Presumably this was the plan all along and the spat with Zelenskyy in the White House the premeditated excuse.

If Russia is allowed to overrun Ukraine, Ukraine will become another Gaza. Netanyahu has demonstrated that you can commit repeated atrocities and still receive the support of successive US presidents. I fear that Gaza will be the model for future occupations.

Tens of thousands of people are dead, multiple cities and towns have been almost completely destroyed, and millions of people are displaced. And JD Vance laughs and smiles with Hannity about the invasion like it’s a game.

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

Looks like the Trump administration and the GOP is attempting a real-world test of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's prediction in his November 8, 1954 letter to his brother, Edwin.

I've really got to be grateful to Duolingo. After nearly two years doing Ukrainian there (like, one or two lessons a day🙄), I can at least pick out certain words or phrases I know when I listen to Zelensky speak.
