Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”
Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.
Trump's team allegedly has offered Putin (1) Ukrainian territory, (2) no NATO membership for Ukraine, (3) no US soldiers in Ukraine, (4) the withdrawal of US soldiers from Europe, including from frontline states, and (5) sanctions relief. Putin's return offer -- nothing.
🇺🇦 La cote de confiance du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky s'élève à 57%, après trois ans d'invasion russe, et non à 4%, comme l'a affirmé son homologue américain Donald Trump, selon un sondage publié mercredi en Ukraine #AFP
Les Etats-Unis deviennent la plus grande force de déstabilisation géopolitique du monde. Un tournant historique. Les dirigeants européens vont urgemment devoir en expliquer les conséquences à leur population.
When are we Europeans going to stop being scandalised about Donald Trump and start helping him to end this war?
Of course Ukraine didn’t start the war. You might as well say that America attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor.
Of course a country undergoing a violent invasion should not be staging elections. There was no general election in the UK from 1935 to 1945.
Of course Zelenskyy’s ratings are not 4%. They are actually about the same as Trump’s.
Trump’s statements are not intended to be historically accurate but to shock Europeans into action.
In particular the US can see $300bn of frozen Russian assets - mainly in Belgium. That is cash that could and should be used to pay Ukraine and compensate the US for its support.
Why is Europe preventing the unfreezing of Putin’s cash?
The US believes Belgium, France and other countries are blocking. It’s absurd. We need to get serious and fast.
On retiendra de la conférence de Munich que le vice-président américain est venu y faire campagne pour les héritiers de monstres contre lesquels étaient venus mourir des centaines de milliers de jeunes Américains.
