Ukraine deserves our support. Trump does not.
Trump and Vance put on an atrocious display with Zelensky.
I was appalled.
Trump and Vance should never have been allowed anywhere near the White House.
Zelensky and Ukraine have fought the country which invaded them without provocation (Putin may have thought he had reason to be nervous of NATO, of which Ukraine is not a member, but that was just an excuse for his expansionist ambitions, and he has admitted himself, saying Ukraine is part of Russia).
Europe has supported Ukraine, knowing that Putin's ambitions do not end with Ukraine. America was our ally, and does not want an enlarged and empowered Russia either - or at least, did not until Putin's puppet Trump took office. It is Ukraine whose citizens have suffered and died. And brave Ukrainians have held back the mighty Russia for 3 years, when Putin said it would take 3 days!
And cadet bone spurs and his sidekick have the audacity to expect Zelensky to crawl to them, when they would not last one minute in a war. He is a real man. They are paper tigers. He has stuck to an incredibly tough job. They think only of themselves, tearing up contracts with corporations, the American people and organisations of the world alike. As Zelensky pointed out, Putin does not keep his promises either.
If America is going to abandon Ukraine (and what being offered now is not a peace deal but a bid for minerals), then it has no place in any peace talks. And if Putin will not talk peace with Ukraine, then he must be defeated.
Europe needs to step up, and find ways to send MAGA-land to Coventry and to defeat Putin. Boycott the businesses of all those billionaires who gave money to Trump, and find ways to make them pay their fair share of taxes to help recoup costs. In the long term it is better for the world to have no superpowers and no billionaires.
My main concern is that as America withdraws aid (and Britain does too) and co-operation with international organisations, China will pick up the slack and become a super-superpower.
For the sake of America and the world, Trump and all the other terrible twos in the White House need to be sent packing, pronto.
I wrote this letter to Usha Vance, JD’s wife.
Dear Madam Vance,
I was SHOCKED and ASHAMED at how our ALLY was treated at the White House Friday. No lunch was offered. His attire criticized. REALLY?!!
President Zelensky should be chastising Trump! In 1994, the “Budapest Memorandum” was created and agreed to by the United States, the UK, N. Ireland & Russia. In exchange for Ukraine giving their huge stockpile of nuclear warheads, Russia agreed to recognize & respect Ukraine as a sovereign country promising NOT to take any of its territory. The U.S., UK & N. Ireland agreed to help defend and come to Ukraine’s aide if their country was invaded.
We Are COMMITTED To Aiding & Defending Ukraine! If we don’t who will ever trust our word again? And maybe Russia should return the nuclear warheads.
The United States has not held up their side of the bargain.
So YOUR husband needs to APOLOGIZE to President Zelensky. JD Vance is not well liked. Maybe if he reminded Trump about the agreement, defended Ukraine and TOOK UKRAINE’s side, our DEMOCRATIC ALLY, instead of our ENEMY, DICTATOR Putin, maybe they would think more favorably. If not, he WILL be voted out of office. Please talk to him, won’t you?
Also, Trump only won the election because the Republicans purged over 5 million LEGAL votes. The people wanted Harris, NOT Trump. Trump lied to the American people.
Remember your husband once said Trump was “America’s Hitler.” Well with all the haphazard cuts made, NO fraud, very little savings, firing 4 star generals, firing inspector generals who investigate corruption, having to call back people, he is acting like Hitler. it’s like an animal house.
Do you feel safe knowing we are no longer arresting diseases in other countries so they won’t come to our country? Like the current hemorrhagic fever QUICKLY KILLING many in the Congo. The Ebola virus. HIV. The list is long.
Trump wants to give a $4.5 million tax cut to his rich friends WHO DON’T NEED THE MONEY! He wants to slash Medicaid. That won’t make a dent but will hurt the elderly, the disabled, the poor. What’s going to happen to the elderly? You going to throw them out in the street? The American people didn’t vote for this.
Your husband should be more compassionate as he was dirt poor. Trump could do so much good. Instead he is alienating our friends, our allies. Who will come to our aide if we were attacked?
Please start with the aide to Ukraine. Help them win the war. Put boots on the ground and get it over with. Get UK & Ireland to help.
You see how good , honest & hardworking Pres. Zelensky is. He is our friend. He has SUFFERED DEATH & DESTRUCTION. Trump and your husband came off as BULLIIES. I was ASHAMED and so was America.
Thank you.
Well said Sue! I agree. They are outrageous, dangerous and shamelessly un-American. SCOTUS has unleashed a monster; a POTUS with absolute immunity who thinks he’s above the law.
