Americans should be afraid after their president's angry, hateful Inauguration Address, while Europeans should grow up and take responsibility for our continent - and that very much includes Ukraine.
You make some good points. But keep in mind that DT won again with Putin’s help, and DT got slightly less than 50% of the votes with Harris 1.5% behind. And many of us are already looking ahead to 2026 to see if that election can change the slim majority now held by DT’s party. I am glad you are urging the EU to continue supporting Ukraine. Many of us will continue supporting Ukraine through various groups like White Stork and United24 even if the DT government doesn’t. Having said all this, I am really disappointed in the outcome of this election, heartsick really. Thank you for your sane words and ideas.
Some Americans are awake, but you are correct to assume that Europe and the rest of the world is now on its own. The administration shut down the CBP One system immediately after the oath was taken. Prospective migrants who may have been waiting for many months for an immigration hearing are now left out in the cold. Asylum in the US for victims of state persecution and violence may become a thing of the past. You can expect the US to flout international human rights conventions with glee.
Having been born and lived in the Soviet Union, I am deeply scared and upset. It feels as though our country is moving now toward the kind of regime I once escaped from.
You must have been listening to a different speech than the rest of us. The reality is that he said very little about foreign policy at all, and the themes he talked about were all things he had stated in the campaign. You also have not been paying attention to what President Trump's cabinet nominees have been sayingh about Ukraine.

Some Americans may end up seeking asylum abroad!
I'll be damned if I am afraid of little orange yambo. my grandfather unalived nazis along with his many brothers in WWII. I'm not scared. I'm pissed.

Telling it like it is. Feels nightmarish that more Americans didn't seem to know (or care). Not like they hadn't seen, smelled and tasted it before...
