Imagine an American vice-president traveling to Budapest in 1956 to support a pro-Kremlin government. That’s how pathetic the current U.S. government is.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to rescue a catastrophe of its own making.
You abused the UK. Threatened Canada. Tried to grab Greenland. Called the EU an adversary. Praised Putin. Hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. Abandoned Ukraine. And did all of it loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.
You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels.
Take your time. We will wait.

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America.
The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation.
The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.”
Nope.
We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration
"It's an extinction-level event for science".
The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate.
This would decimate the world's leading scientific system.

It's not headline news because it's not true

Yes it's true - the Black Death did end without a vaccine
It killed 200 million people including wiping out half the population of Europe but at least they never got one of them nasty vaccines right?

For I was hungry, and you voted against the school lunch program that provided me my only meal of the day, I was thirsty and you voted against clean water legislation, a stranger and you voted to lock me in a cage at an I.C.E. concentration camp at the border.

MAGA & conspiracy crap. The monster is a reflection of its creator, or, in this case, its buyer and owner. I hope no one was so foolish as to think Musk bought Twitter for any reason other than to make it over in his image and pursue his political and commercial goals.

I hope this statement is the end of Rubio in Europe:
1. Trump has insisted on annexing Canada & Greenland, which are part of NATO. That aggression is impermissible.
2. The main threat to European security is Russia's aggression against Ukraine & Europe. Your National Security Strategy ignores that and claims that Europe is the main threat.
3. The US has cut off all assistance to Ukraine.
4. The US has voted with Russia & a dozen of its rouge states in the UN claiming that Russia did not pursue a war of aggression against Ukraine.
5. NATO Article 5 has only been invoked once, but the US in 2001 after 9/11 & the whole of NATO stood up for the US.
6. Trump has repeatedly insulted the allies that lost about 1,000 soldiers for the US in Afghanistan.
7. Trump has all along claimed that NATO allies do not pay their share of NATO costs, which is untrue. They are now spending more on their own defense because nobody trusts the US under Trump.
8. Trump incessantly insults NATO allies for no reason. If you don't know how to behave, you deserve no sympathy or support.
9. The US started a mad war of aggression on Iran without consulting any allies but Israel. Immediately afterwards Trump started insulting allies as usual.
10. Trump's war on Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz & is causing a global economic crisis, which is entirely due to the stupidity and power of Trump, but you are defending this atrocity.
If you don't know how to think or behave, shut up!

So Trump admin policy is bomb Iran back to the Stone Age and return America to the Bronze Age.

Unbelievably. Imagine the rage and horror of Ukrainians every day as Russia attacks their people and their nation while the wealthy free world that surrounds them, that they desperately want to be a part of, that could stop it, refuses to act.

It is disgraceful for Vance to be supporting Putin's
interests against those of democratic Europe

Hooray !
Thank you, Moldova !
Moldova is turning a historic page. By leaving the Commonwealth of Independent States, Chișinău is making a clear political choice: distancing itself from a system undermined by Russia’s aggression and aligning with European values. This is more than a symbolic break with the Soviet past—it is a concrete step towards democracy, sovereignty and a shared European future built on peace, rule of law and cooperation.
