I actually feel sorry for the Ukrainians.
They Trusted an untrustworthy country. A country that has NEVER BEEN TRUSTWORTHY.
They should have known better given the history.
The Trump Phenomenan is totally AMERICAN. Not an Aberration. America First is just Business as usual.
The difference now is the willingness to openly be conniving and to turn on long time allies who depend on us.
Frankly I'm more concerned about Trump's domestic agenda of raping the public lands and cutting the government of anyone in a position to say NO to him make it stick.
Trump is an AUTOCRAT. He will push the envelope until someone stops him.
That could mean Assassination, Electoral defeat in the midterms rendering him impotent to enact his agenda. Or Military Defeat if he starts a War.
This is not the beginning of a New and better US.
It's the return of Naked Imperial behavior abroad and the development of a totally unaccountable Oligarchy at home.
President McKinley is the parallel.
History shows how his Presidency ended.
And it Worked.
Teddy Roosevelt reversed the Gilded age. He took back the country from the Robber Barons.
Just Sayin'
No blood libel. There is No Jewish Race. That's a Myth. Mostly prevalent among Nazis and Paradoxically, Zionist Jews.
The two groups that have the Most in Common.
They both think they're "Master Races".
They both think Expansionist Wars are Great. Until they get Squashed by them.
They both are Destined for Oblivion.
Destroyed by Wars they couldn't Win.
Just give it Time.
Time is not on their side...
