The president of the United States has in a matter of days:
- Insulted the president of Ukraine in a manner such that every news channel -- except Fox news and Russian state media -- called it shameful.
- Stopped military support to Ukraine after the previous administration sent ~$100 B in aid, essentially making that investment into an ally a giant waste of money.
- Prevented the three-letter agencies doing their job in Russia.
- Reduced sanctions on Russia.
- While turning up sanctions to eleven on America's closest allies.
- Invited Russia back into G7.
- Has said nothing but nice things about Russia and especially its kleptocracic and murderous leader. (Think about the ridiculous number of defenestrations in Russia, the polonium tea, giving dioxin to Yushchenko, etc...)
The terrifying thing is that I've spoken to some MAGA friends and they love this. Absolutely love it. They think it's brilliant.
It's just mindboggling.

- cedws 2y agoPerhaps the only good thing he's done so far is unite Europe, but it remains to be seen if we've actually been roused into action. The US has shown itself to be an unreliable ally and we need to be able to fend for ourselves now.
- nonrandomstring 2y agoThe US is an ally in distress. We'll be happy to repay the debt from 80 years ago and reaffirm our common cause to freedom when the call comes.
- cedws 2y agoI don't know about that, they voted for this. Good will can be burnt surprisingly quickly, especially when they're singing to the tune of Russian propaganda. It only took one round of tariffs on Canada for relations to considerably decay.
