For all of us in Europe the message is clear. We have to defend ourselves. The US under the Trump administration is not an ally we can rely on any longer.
The problem with this is, that it will create the exact opposite of what Trump wants. It will create a stronger more united Europe.
Please know, many of us (Americans) are mortified and embarrassed. It was a shameful, ignorant, and unwarranted display by trump and vance (intentionally not capitalizing those names).
Bully boys Trump & Vance with their loud, rude, divorced-from-reality heckling disgraced themselves in front of the world, while Zelenskyy rose above them to stand firm: Russia is the aggressor and he will not pander to Putin. The moral high ground belongs to Ukraine and the two cowards in the White House are powerless to alter that fact. Slava Ukraini.
I know that feeling. But while I'm distressed by the US, I'm heartened by Ukraine and the support so many other countries are showing its people and Zelensky.

I agree with you, Michael. Europe will emerge stronger from this break with the US, and a stronger Europe will be good for the world.
Thanks as always, Martin. I was embarrassed, ashamed and infuriated — but not surprised — by that disgusting display in the Oval Office today.
Many thanks, Bill. I had the same reaction. Just appalling.
As I said on Facebook, it's not possible to negotiate with two malignant narcissists...
"Mucus-voiced consigliere"... ha!
"Malignant" is spot-on.

So well said, Meg. Thank you for standing with Ukraine and calling out the White House occupants for what they are.
I feel so angry so much of the time now 🤬. You must be beyond 😫 distressed.
