Trump v Zelenskyy

But as several former generals and admirals have said, this could well be a massive geopolitical mistake for the USA. My gut feeling is that Trump simply doesn't understand how much the post World War II order has benefitted the USA, and he is giving it all away. Best summarised here in this quote I posted previously:

A Russian international affairs scholar, who can speak only privately, remarked to me from Moscow that Putin’s team sees Trump’s team as a clown car, full of amateurs — easy pickings for the savvy and cynical Putin’s ultimate goal: “MRGA — Make Russia Great Again (and Make America Less Great Again).” Putin’s long-term goal, he added, is to manage the decline of U.S. hegemony so that America is “just one of the peer great powers,” focused on the Western Hemisphere and withdrawn militarily from Europe and Asia. Putin sees Trump as his blunt instrument “to manage that inevitable decline.”

Will Trump and his G.O.P. bobbleheads ever wake up to that? Maybe — when it’s too late.

Enemies of The West relish the thought of having an idiot like Trump in power, as it means they have the upper hand. Trump is such a useful idiot to the likes of Putin and China.

The morons on here cheer him on though as if he's their messiah.

Dumb shmucks.

You seem very proud of that fact Trump is a vindictive bully

Why?

Is that what aspire to be like?

Bit like you and your bully mates

Reading today that Milliband is expected to be toast in the next cabinet re-shuffle so there could well be some scaling back on Net Zero.
