Trump’s alienation of western democracies and apparent attempt to undermine the US from within, and dismantle the existing international security order is cause for great alarm."

Should the US even tacitly recognize Russia’s illegal land grab, it will signal America’s final transformation from “leader of the free world” to “friend of rogue states”. It is already on a dangerous course of becoming a pariah state among western nations.

With growing human rights abuses at home and alignment with evil regimes abroad, the US is on a frightening trajectory. If Americans do not reign Trump in, the US could find itself a pole of the Axis of Evil, helping make the world a much more dangerous place.

Recognizing Crimea as Russian would carry even greater consequences, and confirm the principle of “might makes right” at a time when instability is high, and liberal democracy is under threat.

"I swear to honour this agreement. Really. I mean it this time. I really won't go back on my word as I have dozens and dozens of times before. I really will honour an agreement everyone will later call "not a legal document" just as I honour international and humanitarian law in Ukraine today."

When the international community does not uphold international law, it forces the victim into an existential fight. Russia violates all laws with impunity in its war and genocide against Ukraine. Ukraine must choose survival.

Yes, exactly. It is part of a SYSTEMIC attack on ALL health care. This is the second attack on healthcare aid in a month.

Coercing Ukraine to accept fake "peace negotiations" is to shield the unprovoked aggressor and condemn the innocent victim.

It's ENOUGH! We either stand for our purported beliefs or watch democracy and the rules based order collapse.

So, Ukraine, stop fighting! Stop resisting! Call it a "negotiated political settlement" to politely agree to Russian genocide. But we'll call it "peace" and "sovereignty" for Ukraine.

Let's see how happily western nations accept such "peace" for themselves when Russia attacks one of us.

Ukraine's self-defence against unprovoked aggression and genocide is perceived by many as a nuisance. As long as Moscow promises not to go after them (and we know how reliable those Russian promises are!),many in the West prefer to serve Ukraine to Russia.
