When are we Europeans going to stop being scandalised about Donald Trump...

When are we Europeans going to stop being scandalised about Donald Trump and start helping him to end this war?

Of course Ukraine didn’t start the war. You might as well say that America attacked Japan at Pearl Harbor.

Of course a country undergoing a violent invasion should not be staging elections. There was no general election in the UK from 1935 to 1945.

Of course Zelenskyy’s ratings are not 4%. They are actually about the same as Trump’s.

Trump’s statements are not intended to be historically accurate but to shock Europeans into action.

In particular the US can see $300bn of frozen Russian assets - mainly in Belgium. That is cash that could and should be used to pay Ukraine and compensate the US for its support.

Why is Europe preventing the unfreezing of Putin’s cash?

The US believes Belgium, France and other countries are blocking. It’s absurd. We need to get serious and fast.

I love the very first comment in that thread:

Oh, good grief,
@BorisJohnson
!!! Enough already! The war is over. The money laundering is over. The graft is over.

The US has never stopped an election, even during wartime. Zelensky doesn’t want an election because he knows he will lose…. And the whole world knows it. He has actual Nazis, Azov battalion in his Army. He has closed Russian Orthodox Churches, pilfered hundreds millions of US dollars, and enriched himself on the blood of Ukrainian men, and at the expense of the US taxpayers.

Stop shilling for the EU Cabal.

Then, why is he so afraid to hold a Presidential election?

No, it can solely be used to compensate US taxpayers but only with Russian consent as part of a deal to end the war.

Zelenskyy is a tyrant just like Vladimir Putin, obviously.

Never. They they think they are smart and he is stupid.

There aren’t many people more responsible for prolonging the war than Boris Johnson

It is predictable that the guy responsible for prolonging a war by three years, resulting in millions of deaths and the destruction of a small country, would lash out at those seeking to end it. Perhaps there are Russians and Ukrainians who will have words for this person?

Please, no panic. Stay calm. It's just the style of the new sheriff: fix the watch with a sledge hammer. Nothing to see here.

The real question is: who will pick up the pieces? Paging Beijing!
