Why does nobody - people or politicians - tell Trump that this is not OK? This is not about party politics, it is about decency and dignity v savagery. I expect Europe's leaders to school the fool.
Thank you, Mr. Andersen, for putting to words my outrage on Putin hanging from the White House wall. I share your disgust.
The world realizes there is a US-Israel-Russia axis. The faster the world divests from assets of all three, boycotts, and diversifies relationships, the better for the world.
I just read Ann Appelbaum about the surge in Ukrainian victims after the election of the traitor in chief. It is a horrible correlation, showing that the immoral hunt for lucrative deals in socalled peace negotiations causes the misery of this prolonged war. Sleepy Jo Biden was feared by the Russians, not Trump, eaten for lunch by Putin...
America as a whole does not support putin rump and his fascist goons do. Millions of us are working to neuter him with this election. The death figures disgust decent Americans who are the majority. Too many were lazy idiots in 24 and allowed this to happen. The rest of us will pay for it for a very long time in our consciences.
There’s a saying that would be humorous if it were not true. “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, but only after they’ve tried everything else first.”
God help us, we have to get rid of Trump, and that could take a while, so in the meantime, we have to try to diminish his power to inflict harm on ourselves and the world.
Most of us Americans do want to help Ukraine and defeat Russia, but we’re both distracted and complacent at the same time. I’m sorry we’re such crappy allies with Trump in charge.
“This is one of the most difficult moments in our modern history, when every one of us is living on the edge between exhaustion and strength, between compromise and our principles.”
And it is that exact moment in history that your president chooses to openly demonstrate his sympathy for the man behind all this misery? And you let him?
Very well said! I wish I had American friends that I can forward it to, but unfortunately I don’t. But I will circulate to my British and European friends and send it to my MP.
I see that your are angry, but millions of Americans are not to blame for the fascist buffoon and Russian patsy in the White House. Most Americans oppose him and millions of Americans are actively opposing him. Most voters have never voted for him (obviously most Americans didn't vote for him). And every day brings a decline in his poll numbers. Millions of us are as horrified as you are. But authoritarians can be a tough nut to crack, especially when enough fellow citizens and corrupt institutions are complicit. We're all ears if you have some way of magically removing the deeply sick man (millions of us are deeply disappointed in cholesterol). The United States has a bizarre system for determining who becomes President (between a two-party system and the Electoral College), and that's one reason we're in the mess we're on. If it were only easy...

Trump is Putin’s Sutt-Bucker.

Trump and his fascist movement in the US supports Putin and his fascist movement in Russia, a "good turn" for help rendered.

Why not just call Trump what he is a NAZI or de furer.
> So, a Putin photo in the White House is okay? How about one of Adolf Hitler?
Wouldn’t that alienate Putin?
