With this single "conversation" they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.

I disagree. If it was a single conversation the world would be shocked but they could still cover it up. Politicians say dumb shit and walk it back all the time.

It's the fact that his first term was already such a blundering mess in terms of diplomacy, combined with the fact that he somehow got re-elected, the accelerating bullshit ever since and now finally this mess. If they hadn't been chipping away at any international goodwill so thoroughly, the response would be closer to "I can't believe a US president would say that" rather than "the US as a whole is no longer reliable".

Deep state is having a nap I guess.

I don't mean that facetiously, honestly surprised the CIA is just chill with everything.

I'm hoping Ukr gets an EU membership out of this at the minimum. They're going to be blocked from NATO by US and Turkeye

Each will send their old or excess stock, or newly manufacturer weapons.

Some of the old stock may include weapons bought from the US previously, but it's very unlikely Europeans will be buying new weapons and supplies from US to give to Ukraine. France, Germany Italy, Spain and the UK all have significant arms manufacturing ability and have ability to scale up quickly. (Reference)

Many European leaders (including business leaders) are extremely reticent to enter into new supply deals of any kind with the US given the recent trade volatility.

That'll trap vulnerable people in the States, potentially to be lynched. Much as I would love to support a blanket, don't allow crazy out of crazytown, there's sane people trapped there that should be allowed to flee.

symptoms of alzheimer should be showing up soon like his father.

Do these imbeciles realize that they are making America look the weakest it’s ever been? No they don’t because they’re a bunch of dumbasses.

More than weakness, it stinks of incompetence. Vance was obviously there to start a fight to make Zelensky look bad so they could leverage him.

Except they were so obvious about it that he came off as the winner. They cannot even set a proper trap (thank God).

It's always the same thing, a state that used to work "together" with russia no longer want's to be a slave to russia and work with other countries.

Russia doesn't want that, so they attack.

It happened to Georgia before it happened to Ukraine.

Exactly. How much of your country and resources will you be willing to give up when Russia and their useful idiot comes knocking? If the answer isn't everything, you should probably help Ukraine make a stand now before the "peace deal" results in loosened sanctions and before Russia starts to re-arm.

Do you know if they still support BTC donations? There were tweets about it a couple years ago but nothing on the main site says they do.

Also an apology letter you can sign if you want

How do I know that is an official or direct donation

Just donated!

Also worth noting, a lot of public radio stations / NPR affiliates are doing their winter public pledge drives right now, and money will help them fund off defunding and legal attacks from the Trump administration.

If you like what little good journalism we have left in America. Donate.

European here. Sorry America, but you're going to have to step up and remove your corrupt leaders I think. And I'll be happy when you do.

I'm getting a bit pissed off with this type of message.

1. We already have been leading. Funds and weapons have been relatively free flowing from European nations. Getting anything out of the US has been like pulling teeth even under Biden.
2. We know a shit ton of burden has fallen on us because a nation we considered a friend has turned traitor. You're not telling us anything new.
3. As a US citizen you can't wash your hands of the fact that your leadership is corrupt. "Oh, sorry!". They're your collective responsibility. You all put them there. Only you can replace them. Get off your arse and organise.

I don't think the right-leaning EU citizens recognise this as a problem with the right. It's too easy to say this is "an America specific problem" and "We'd never vote in a dumbass such as Trump."

I honestly think this kind of learning will happen here absolutely not at all.

I do hope that Trump is the galvanizing force that pushes the people of the EU (and perhaps others) towards Ukraine support, as well as everything else Trump and the right hate

Why do you think that the EU and others haven't been supporting Ukraine? They have.
