After watching the debacle at the White House, I have never been so ashamed of my government in all my 89 years! Two bullies, President Trump and Vice President Vance, attacking a visiting head of state at a press conference.
Dictator Putin invaded a sovereign nation not once but twice. Putin should have no negotiating power at all in talks. Without a lasting peace in Ukraine, Putin will simply invade again and go on to other European countries. We all want the war to end, especially Ukraine, the ones suffering the most serious effects of the war. President Trump has turned our foreign policy absolutely upside down by embracing Russia’s cause. Putin cannot be trusted since he has a record of not living up to his promises. Former KGB Putin has played Trump like a violin. Putin and his North Korean troops should withdraw from Ukraine!
How would our president react if Russia decided to invade Alaska with an eye on Canada, while China and Russia negotiate a settlement without the United States at the table?
Or how about Mexico trying to take back Texas, Arizona and California with China and Russia dictating the settlement without the U.S. at the table?
President Trump has called Zelensky a dictator. Talk about calling the kettle black. Another phrase comes to mind: “It takes one to know one.” Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky. Drop Putin, embrace Zelensky and Ukraine.
The only way we can save American democracy is for members of Congress and the justice system to stand up and enforce our principles and laws. Trump has used intimidation and fear to pick them off one by one. They need to stand up all together at once to oppose those Maffia tactics.
Make America honorable again. Save our Democracy.
