"Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa" for the next 40 years! That's going to be us.

Good luck!

... to have admit.

however imperfectly they executed that wish.

No one can trust us, so no one is going to touch us with a ten foot pole after this.

We are already there. No one can trust us at this lofty position. No one will pick up when we fall especially if these people walk.

...due to the fact that the Nazi regime was completely demolished, and many of its leaders executed.

In contrast: even if The Felon dies, the Republican Party leadership will still be mostly intact.

Sometimes not long after a Dem administration will fail at holding the current mob accountable through the corrupted justice system.

As long as Fascist propaganda outlets like Fox "News" will keep lying almost 24/7 for profits.

He is a realist but also doesn’t want to turn his country over to Putin.

Greedy bastard trump would rather support his daddy

Soon they will get everything they need from the EU, and in return, the EU will benefit from access to Ukraines rare earth metal deposits, wheat, and other resources.

One more tombstone in the Trump graveyard of failures.

because he is a Putin puppet.

SLAVA UKRAINI!

Tank you Hillary for nailing it.

His ouster cannot come soon enough. We will have so much to repair in the USA it will take a decade or more. We are already being written off in the eyes of the world and our standard of living keeps sinking …..

and the opportunity to grift in Ukraine has dried up.

existential threat. Ukraine will do what it must to survive.

They can still freeze Russian assets and sanction American banks that allow transactions trading Russian commodities.

They will have no choice to try to make deals with their enemy for truckers and airplanes too.

If their enemy (Putin, not the Russian people he exploits but him and his criminal mob) "accepts" to sell it to them.

First thought in my mind when this BASTARD won the election. I feel so let down because our Allies and Ukraine are taking a hit!! God Dam RETHUGS are destroying us.

Even our financial markets. It would be gawd awful for us, but the rest of the world would be better off. Clearly, the crazy train that is the US over the last decade or two is driving right off the cliff. Nobody seems to be interested is stopping it and I don't understand why.

Wish Putin would dump the goods on Donald. Maybe he will once Donald is out of office or maybe he'll do it just for shits and giggles.

It shouldn't just be the US and China .

We can still have allies but need to consider if something like Trump comes along . All the attempt at ass kissing of Trump and trying to work with him is not something they should ever do.

good grudge go to waste.

Including this one, favoring Putin over President Zelensky/Ukraine.

SLAVA UKRAINI!

alliances all over; just this past week with Italy, Germany, Norway. Ukraine is now viewed as having a great deal to offer in military expertise.

Fuck Putin, fuck Trump, and fuck Netanyahu.

Hopefully this will once and for all put the kibosh on the idea that Ukraine has to gift Putin with territory he's failed to "win" through war. The only enthusiastic proponents of that scheme were Trump and his cronies and a few half-assed nominal Ukraine supporters or blatant fellow travellers of Russia. Putin would no doubt have been glad of the gift, but there's no reason to imagine it would have led to a sustained end to hostilities, quite the reverse.

But as for writing off the United States, I think that's throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Despite the spiteful rhetoric and actions from Trump, and especially Vance, along with others among Trump's cabal, we know that American public opinion has consistently favoured supporting Ukraine by substantial margins. The next Congress is likely to be far less slavishly loyal to Trump, and ways could be found to offer concrete support and fewer favours to Putin, and maybe start undoing some of the harm Trump's tried to do in the last couple of years.

Meanwhile, it will be no bad thing if the rest of NATO and Ukraine's allies work to be far less dependent on the US's agenda and firepower.

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Zelenskyy did his due diligence. There is no point moving forward in an attempt to win over the king with no clothes.

It is sad and tragic for both countries but Ukraine will fair much better from breaking ties with the U.S. We are losing a battle tested ally with a populace that has the perseverance and intelligence to defeat a nemesis with greater numbers in people, equipment and treasure. Ukraine will win and survive and thrive. The United States will have to scramble and on bended knee ask for a second chance with the great ally we once had, Ukraine.

It's all about the money Trump thinks he'll make by being Putin's friend. What he doesn't understand is that Putin screws over everyone in his circle. Yes, he'll even do it to Trump and hand-over-his-heart Witkoff and Kushner. There in no honor amongst thieves.

Away from the US.

So too are trade arrangements.

Despite decades of the US saying 'You need us, global stability depends on us!', it is all shifting away.

Thank you Mr Trump!

We need to wake up and dump the pile of shit.
