Trump revealed his true colours

Zelensky's reason for visiting the White House was a humiliation in itself. He had come to sign a deal giving the US access to its mineral resources as payback for support provided by Trump's predecessor. It was a shakedown that turned into an ambush.

What Trump proved instead, unequivocally, is that the US had switched sides.

His administration had played a canny game until today's blow-up - it had pretended that Trump's ill-treatment of his ally, his extortion, was only a means to achieve peace.

But with his guard down and his blood up, Trump revealed his true colours. He showed that he truly does not care who invaded who, or whether one country practices democracy and the other autocracy.

The meeting concluded with a familiar three-minute rant from the president that appeared to center all the world's conflicts and problems around his own. It began with an expression of empathy for Putin and a shared ordeal with the dictator in Moscow, and ended inexplicably in Hunter Biden's bedroom.

"He went through a phony witch hunt where they used him and Russia, Russia, Russia. You ever hear of that deal, that was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, scam, Hillary Clinton, shifty Adam Schiff, it was a Democrat scam, and he had to go through that. And he did go through it. We didn't end up in a war. And he went through it. He was accused of all that stuff he had nothing to do with. It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out of Hunter Biden's bedroom. It was disgusting, and then they said, oh, oh, the laptop from Hell was made by Russia, the 51 agents. The whole thing was a scam, and he had to put up with that. He was being accused of all that stuff," the president of the United States said, as the world watched on.

That final rant was perhaps the most revealing of all. Trump was complaining about his shared ordeal with Putin to the leader of a country that has been in a war for its survival for more than a decade.

И комментарии:

...Two weeks ago there was the security conference at Munich where NATO de facto ceased to exist as Trump sided with Putin against Ukraine and Europe.

...This is the moment where Europe has had its illusions swept away. We are on our own.

...The irony, of course, is that any security deal offered by Trump is worthless. Thankfully, now we know America is in full retreat and will stab us in the back for a bag of popcorn, we can provision for a future in which we don't have to bow and scrape. By 'we' I mean the whole of Europe. Time to get on with it, now that Trump (and especially Vance) have so obligingly prepared the ground.

...I'm struggling to comprehend what i saw. It felt like the bully in the playground insisting that his victim say thank you because he didn't steal his dinner money today.

В Америке скандал с Зеленским стал причиной
национальной гордости для MAGA-американцев.
Все остальные американцы на слово "Трамп" реагируют
рефлекторной тошнотой, конвульсиями и рвотой, независимо
от происходящего, поэтому их мнение Трампа не интересует.
Для MAGA-американцев, Украина есть коррумпированная диктатура,
которая уже проиграла войну с Россией, а коль скоро с Россией надо
дружить против Китая, Украину необходимо сдать России за максимальный
прайс. Что до Зеленского, это убийца, диктатор, построивший
десяток дворцов в Европе, купивший сотни яхт, все это на
доходы от продажи американского оружия по 25 центов за доллар,
и он несравнимо хуже Путина. Это типа консенсус трамповских
избирателей, и его помощников, вероятно, тоже.

В Европе скандал с Зеленским восприняли как сдачу
Трампом европейских союзников России, с перспективой
дальше воевать самостоятельно не только на Украине,
но и в Восточной Европе, куда путлер сразу полезет,
как только ему сдадут Украину.

Не знаю, полезет ли, но что Америка больше не союзник,
а диктатура по типу путлеровской, это становится более-менее
европейским консенсусом. Европейцы всегда не любили Америку, а Трамп
им дал такой прекрасный повод эту ненависть рационализировать.
