PRESIDENT TRUMP: NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?

This line again. 🙄 Maybe if the US hadn’t pushed Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons to russia and hadn’t signed the Budapest Memorandum, then sure — US could pretend it had no obligation. But US did. Ukraine gave up the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world for “security assurances.”

Wondering why no NATO country is helping America in Iran? Really? Trump spent 13 months talking down a NATO and 700 million people. He bullied their leaders, questioned their sovereignty, threatened their economies and made clear he considered them obstacles rather than allies. And now Washington is surprised by the silence. When people say Trump is effectively siding with Russia against America’s largest trading partners, that is not a conspiracy theory. That is a description of events. This week, American congressmen gave a guided tour of Capitol Hill to Russian State Duma deputies. In the fifth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. A war with documented atrocities, mass graves, bombed hospitals and deportated children. To European eyes. To Canadian eyes. To Australian, New Zealand and Japanese eyes. This is not a diplomatic misstep. This is the equivalent of inviting Hitler’s inner circle for a friendly tour of Washington while the death camps were already known to the world. The same moral category. The same historical weight. There is no walking this back. There is no reset button. No charm offensive, no summit photo, no carefully worded statement will undo what has been seen. America’s allies are not drifting away. They are making a decision. Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1
