That’s what some Americans also said when Japan invaded China and Hitler and Stalin invaded Poland. Didn’t work out to well for us or the rest of the world.

[Joel Willans @VFinnishProbs]

Watching MAGA attempt logic is pure comedy.

Hate Europe but claim to be European.

Hate immigrants but descend from immigrants.

Hate elites but worship billionaires.

Hate globalism but cheer American hegemony.

MAGA = Mostly Angry, Generally Confused.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Predictably, Putin being a dictator is what Trump likes and envies about him. Much easier to deal with than elected leaders with parliaments, free media, and public opinion. And they can't send billions of dollars wherever they like with a snap of their fingers.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Trump privately discussed serving a THIRD term as president with his former impeachment lawyer, Alan Dershowitz.

Worse: billionaire donor Miriam Adelson TOLD TRUMP “We can do it… I’ll give you another $250 million.”

This isn’t a joke. They’re openly testing the Constitution.

I WARNED YOU ALL.

[Christopher Miller @ChristopherJM]

Putin has made it clear he wants to continue waging war. Today he said Russia won't back down from its mission to "liberate its historic lands" and predicted the European "swine" backing Kyiv would ultimately lose power, in a speech that showed no readiness to compromise on the goals for his invasion of Ukraine.

Putin has made this clear dozens of times. He wants Ukraine and cannot afford to stop war. Now the usual cycle of Trump officials and Putin‘s European sycophants downplaying or simply ignoring it and saying Russia wants peace in order to delay European action.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Again… the U.S. should send 200 long-range and extremely accurate cruise missiles to Ukraine. Maybe then, Putin will get serious and seek peace. Putin started this war and he’ll stop this war once he realizes he cannot win and that the cost of war is too high.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Never forget, Russia started the war unprovoked. Only because the billionaire dictator Putin wanted to expand his territories, steal Ukraine’s vast natural resources, and make himself wealthier.

Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

Now we have a simple choice: either money today, or blood tomorrow. I’m not talking about Ukraine only, I’m talking about Europe. This is our decision to make. And only ours. All European leaders must finally rise to the challenge.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Putin says there’s “no civilization in Europe”, yet Russia’s elite send their kids to European schools, buy luxury homes there, and park their mega-yachts in Monaco.

Even Putin’s own child was caught in a Parisian Gallery recently.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

McDonald’s USA
— Employee: $15/hr, no benefits
— Big Mac: $5.79

McDonald’s Denmark
— Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension
— Big Mac: $5.49

Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan.

He is South African living in North America.

🚨Trump Is Betraying America’s Allies At The Most Dangerous Moment Since World War II

Trump’s surrender has not brought peace. It has turned the United States from Ukraine’s ally into a collaborator with Russia’s war. At the very moment when the security situation in both Europe and Asia is the most dangerous since World War II, Trump is not defending the free world. He is helping to dismantle it.

Instead of backing a democracy under attack, he publicly attacks Zelensky and mocks Europe. Instead of deterring aggression, he pressures Ukraine to give up. trump signals to every dictator watching that blackmail and brutality work.

For Putin this is a historic breakthrough. Russia was an isolated pariah state, essentially backed only by Iran, North Korea and China. Then Trump handed Moscow what it could never win on the battlefield: the political capture of the United States. Now the Kremlin can count MAGA America as an objective asset. Putin has managed to make a leader of the free world betray the allies that America has stood with for eighty years.

When the German leadership says that Pax Americana in Europe is over, it is not a rhetorical flourish. It is a recognition that the security order built after 1945 is collapsing from the American side.

The result is that the United States is no longer seen as a reliable partner. It is increasingly viewed as a volatile actor whose internal politics can turn it into a direct risk.

If Europe mobilizes its industrial and technological base, it can flood Ukraine with more weapons, ramp up its own defense and ultimately outbuild both Russia’s war machine and much of what the United States currently provides. Over time, Europe can evolve into a superpower in its own right, with greater combined manpower and hardware than the United States, simply because necessity will force it to.

The bitter irony is that most Americans do not want this self inflicted decline. A solid majority still support Ukraine and 80% see value in strong ties to Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Europe. They know that abandoning allies in the most dangerous security climate since the 1940s is strategic madness.

Trump either does not care or is unable to act differently. For reasons that remain opaque, it looks as if Putin holds the leverage. Whether through threats of exposing Trump’s private scandals or through massive financial entanglements that enrich Trump and his family, the effect is the same. The American presidency has been bent away from the defense of the free world and toward the interests of a hostile autocracy.

MAGA America now acts like an enemy bloc turned against the very countries that once relied on the United States as their closest ally: Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and every European democracy that refuses to kneel to Moscow. In these capitals, Trump is seen as the weakest president in American history, and judged as a coward and a traitor not only to the United States, but to every ally that once trusted Washington to stand by them.

The question future Americans will have to answer is brutally simple: how did a nation that led the free world through its hardest decades choose, by its own hand, to throw that legacy away right when it was needed most? History’s verdict on this betrayal is likely to be unforgiving.

Elon Musk is so rich that he could pay for:

- tuition-free public college
- universal childcare
- close the cap to fund universal school meals
- paid sick leave
- ending homelessness
- ending hunger
- UBI of $1250 for every adult

...and he'd still be a billionaire.

[Kim R. Holmes @kimsmithholmes]

Think about that. The US is pushing a European democracy to cede land to an authoritarian invader (one hostile to the US btw) that has not even conquered it yet on the battlefield. On top of that, all historical evidence points to the fact that Russia will pocket the concession and use the Donbas as a staging ground for further military operations to destroy all of Ukraine. Don’t believe the so-called Article Five “like” guarantees for a minute. If you were Zelensky, would you trust Trump’s word on that after he had pushed you to cede part of your country to an invader for free?

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

On May 16, 1940, the British newspaper Daily Mirror published this cartoon, dedicating it to those who were calling for negotiations with Hitler. In the image, a man holds two posters reading: “Peace by negotiation” and “Make a deal with Hitler now!”

Many years have passed, but nothing has changed. Some people remain delusional, still believing that appeasing aggressors will somehow stop the aggression.

[Shaun Pinner @ShaunPinnerUA]

Why do Putin’s children, and the children of Moscow’s elite, live, study, or own property in Europe? 🤔

While selling “anti-Western” hysteria at home, figures like propagandist Vladimir Solovyov enjoy villas and residency in Italy.

They don’t believe their own propaganda and never have.

[Marvin Baumann @MarvinTBaumann]

This is why they want to divide us.

Always be distrustful when a Russian, a Chinese or an American calls for the abolition of the EU.

They want to make you weak so they can exploit you.

[Bob Morgan 🇬🇧🇺🇦 💙 @Bbmorg]

Americans who criticise Starmer can enter the UK. Brits who criticise Trump probably can’t enter the US. Who has the free speech problem.
