“In geopolitics, there are moments that define decades.
Europe is facing one of those inflection points right now, (just as they did 100 years or so ago). How it responds will determine not just Ukraine’s fate but the continent’s future.
The United States is no longer on Ukraine’s side – and by extension, it may no longer be on Europe’s side either. If the U.S. is willing to abandon a country whose security is indivisible from Europe’s – and a pro-American democracy we were committed to protect, no less – why wouldn’t we do the same to an EU or NATO member?”
Right now is our MOMENT OF TRUTH.
Since Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, the American government, our government, has been squeezing Ukraine, trying to bend it to Republican will, trying to force it to stop fighting to defend itself from Putin’s invasion.
“The Russian threat is here and is affecting European countries, affecting us,” French President Macron said. “I want to believe that the U.S. will stay by our side, but we have to be ready if they don’t.”
Yesterday, politicians in the United Kingdom angrily interpreted Vice President Vance’s dismissal of ‘some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years’ as a dig at the U.K. after its suggestion that it would be willing to be part of a Ukraine peacekeeping force. They pointed out that the U.K. has stood alongside the U.S. repeatedly since World War II.
We were at war with a dictator,” said French center-right politician Claude Malhuret of Europe’s stand against Putin. “[N]ow we are at war with a dictator backed by a traitor.”
THIS explains it all. It’s brief, maybe a minute or two. Please share.
