Yes.
Nothing that Trump is doing to Ukraine is unexpected. Trump loves Putin and Russia. He knows little of history before WWII that led up to NATO or how the US benefitted from defense relationships.
Since Trump is dealing for Russia, should the US be put under the sanctions that were put on Russia?

Trump has turned the WH into a Monty Python sketch.
The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

As a pensioner I've become a member of the Green Party, which is the first time I've been a member of a political party. I believe Zac will do what his party says on the tin, unlike the other parties who break their promises immediately they're elected. Look after both young and old and the planet.
Why young voters are leaving Labour and joining the Green Party.
Ps not just young voters....

Musk and Trump want a smaller state, for the same reason the Sopranos wanted a smaller police force.
Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

If Putin gets what he wants in Ukraine, he will attack more of Russia's neighbours. It's what dictators do. No other US president would allow Russia to get away with it, but Trump will happily allow Putin to do anything he wants, otherwise he'll release enough dirt to put Trump away forever.

In the UK people have been saying we should a written constitution to prevent the chance of a dictator coming to power. But what's happening in the US proves that a written constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on if nobody defends it.
Trump and his administration are committing violence against Americans. Why aren’t we defending ourselves? Why isn’t the military upholding their oath to defend us from domestic enemies?

The UK has been a US vassal state for decades. Even more so now that we've left the EU.
The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Trump likes renaming things, so maybe he'll look at changing America's name to Americsky and remove any doubt about who he works for.

Labour and Tories were content to take turns at running the country. Farage and Brexit broke their rotten game and our country at the same time. Now its time for a new game where the country wins and not these dinosaur parties. It's time for integrity and compassion in politics. Time to vote Green.
Keir Starmer - "I’ve always wanted a Labour government but I’ve never worried about the future of our country under a Tory government."
The words of a man so insulated from the harm done by the Tories he felt no compulsion not to continue the harm not being done to him and his.

When Trump is gone, I believe the network behind him will try to replace him with another puppet. If that happens at the next presidential election then America might cease to be a democracy and become a totalitarian state, possibly even a dictator family dynasty, which is what Trump wants.
It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Trump seems to have taken Russia's side, so Europe needs to step up and give Ukraine whatever help it needs to fend off Russia until its economy collapses and the people turn on Putin.

Didn't Trump's own mother say that he would make a dreadful politician? And like they say, 'mother knows best.'
Putin Lives by a Code Trump Doesn’t Understand. Where Trump sees a deal, Putin sees submission. - The Atlantic - Trump should ask Putin why does the biggest country in the world need more land. Trump can’t grasp Putin’s imperialistic intentions. He is way out of his league.

Trump would be chuffed with that too, so long as it was shiny and golden with his name on it. He's like a needy human magpie.

Which explains why Trump never follows through on his threats of more sanctions against Russia, or gives Ukraine what it needs to resist.
The closer Trump draws the USA to Putins Russia the more convinced I am that Putin has the Epstein files. I believe Putin uses Epstein to manipulate Trump. I believe Trump is treasonous and Putin has the evidence.

If the US acquiesces to Russia over Ukraine, then maybe Putin will see a chance for Russia to also reclaim Alaska. With Donald Trump as POTUS they might believe then can buy/blackmail him off and get Alaska back.

Trump's government is living in an alternative reality. Strange, weird and surreal to think this is happening to the US, but here we are.
And the MAGAt cult will tell you how respected the US is now! The insanity is mind blowing

That's the only reason I can think of that would explain his total lack of criticism against Putin.

Wealth apartheid has always been a major part of the British establishment.
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.
