They might (and you yourself are clearly very well informed, articulate and passionate about the subject), but the sad reality is America has elected an administration that doesn't seem to care about Ukraine or doing what's right. It's a long way from the shining city on a hill that Ronalld Reagan used to talk about.

Americans had just endured four years of a zombie administration. The border was essentially wide-open, and the economy was in a shambles. All the while, Big Media was covering up the president's obviously declining condition. We would've elected a ham sandwich if it meant shaking things up in Washington.
Ukraine was not at the top of most voters' list of important issues. I'm an outlier. I'll admit that.
I can ignore most of Donald Trump's narcissistic foibles. I can't ignore blatant pandering to Vladimir Putin. He is evil personified.
I don't think this administration will survive very long if they don't change course.
I'm not sure that Europe will be able to coalesce around a common goal quickly enough.
Champagne corks are popping in the Kremlin.
China will be updating their plans to invade Taiwan.
Barring some sort of miracle, many lives will be lost because of what we saw in Washington today.
My daughter and I have been planning a trip to the Baltics for her 40th birthday. Christmas markets, snow, and mulled wine - who could ask for more? Now I'm worried that Americans will be persona non grata in Europe. Israel seems to be the only friendly nation that we haven't alienated so far, but it's not really on my must-see list.
Starmer loses another cabinet minister for not being left wing enough, but you'd have thought she'd pick a better day to do it if she wanted to get her statement about why she resigned out there. ðĪ

I think it was an utter disgrace the way Zelenskyy was ganged up on and treated, and it all seemed to kick off when some knob asked him why he wasn't wearing a suit in the White House?!?? Churchill quite often wore his siren suit as a sort of signal that he meant business, and I think what Zelenskyy wears is in a homage to his country's people, so f**k you Trump and your brainless acolytes.
WTF and who gives a f**k. He was talking as though it was somewhere important, and Trump is a mental retard, just repeating himself
That question was a set up and the man who asked it is Brian Glenn an alleged journalist from an extreme far right cable show set up 4 years ago by by Robert Sigg a convicted mortgager fraudster . The cable station often quotes Anon and has Glenn as a host as he is currently dating Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.
These are the type of people who have replaced reporters from the Associated Press a non profit organisation that was set up in 1846.
It is a text book example of how the far right have taken great steps to control what you see and what you hear and rely heavily on people not looking for any other sources on information outside of the regimes.
I think it backfired because outside of Trump and Vances smirks I think it reflected to most Americans just how tacky and murky Trump has made the Oval Office in the eyes of the world.
In other news. Katie Hopkins is considering standing as a Reform candidate.
Now that would be an MP who told it like it was.
They certainly know how to pick 'em.

I agree it backfired. It made the White House look like a clown car, but with the clowns from It and Terrifier in charge.
And for those who think Zelensky should have worn a suit...

Sorry! Missed that.
Should have done it in bold the first time.

Yes, I know you have an aversion to me using bold, BUT I didn't want you to miss my post this time ðĪŠ

It would be foolish to dismiss Reform, they have a long run-up to the next election.

I'm not dismissing them.
In fact we should all be very afraid of them.
I was merely pointing out that, candidate-wise, they have an uncanny eye for selecting the worst that humanity can offer.
