I am happy that they are doing it so crudely. They had many ways of imitating harsh negotiations with Russia and supporting Ukraine while doing the opposite.

Trump says "You (=Ukraine) should never have started it (=the war)."

This would be my WTF of the day, but nothing less is expected of orange man.

*shakes in incredulity at the inability of this man to understand cause and effect*
To Trump: Russia attacked Ukraine first, you imbecile! Can you stop lying for ONE day?
Let it be known that I and others in this country do not agree with or support this F***ery!

You know what, this feels like an Ameripol response too maybe, let me know if this…reaction post? fits better there and I’ll delete it from here

You're good, this is a legit Emotional Response to the War in Ukraine, specifically the American President's betrayal of the War being waged against Ukraine by Russia.

Dunno if you know the full history, but President Zelensky, before his country got invaded by Russia, was asked by Trump to make up garbage evidence about his campaign rival Biden. 
Zelensky, a bit naively, said "I'm not interfering in US politics by making up bullshit!"
And thus Trump was always going to betray Zelensky, and by extension Ukraine.

Yeah. We live in a new reality in which the US won't provide military aid to Ukraine and may (partially) remove sanctions from Russia.

Whatever. No shocks there. It was expected when Trump won the elections. There was some hope that chaotic Trump would do something chaotic but nope. As I said, I am happy that they are so crude and direct about their intentions.


What matters now is how Europe will act in this new reality and how will it resist joint American-Russian pressure on its elections.

That is the problem indeed. Trump for all intents and purposes seems to be pursuing an alliance with Russia, or at least a temporary alliance for the purpose of tearing apart the EU. I mean on the one hand he demands higher contributions to NATO and for the EU to step up to defend Ukraine, but then he supports all the right wing parties that object any extra spending, and that would hand Ukraine to Russia on a platter.

The orange man will likely choke on a cup of tea sooner or later if he trust Putin like that, but wtf indeed.

Almost every major politician, plus a slew of minor ones, in the UK has decried Trump's dictator accusations.

Considering Keir's been talking about peacekeeping forces in Ukraine it seems we're presently prioritising Ukraine over the US.
