Roger, Can't see the image, but agree with the title...

This country is going from standing against the forces of evil to becoming that evil.

[skiman]

I never thought the world orde would change that fast.

Today's events in the White House meeting of the Pres, VP and Zelinkski could be a tipping point toward a new world order.

I have never ever seen such cowardice as this.
As a person who served honorably in the U.S. Navy, I would not advise young men and women to join the U.S. Military today.
They could end up fighting on the wrong side of history.

It is hard to believe that this is the same nation that was ruled by Obama for eight years. Trump is turning it into a cheap bazaar where nothing counts except greed and profit. Alliances, values ​​and humanity are being trampled underfoot.

Alliances, values ​​and humanity ...

The cult of the American Republican party has changed all of that.
It's amazing how quickly it became a cult.
I could see this developing back in the early 1980's when religion hijacked the party.
But Donald Trump isn't religious.
I believe that he wants to be the "Kim Il Sung" of America, with a giant statue of him in Washington D.C. and a dynasty of rulers far into the future.
If this isn't true, then why does he admire Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un?
No previous American president has ever debased himself like this.

I read Bill Browder's book, Freezing Order, about how he became Putin's number one enemy.
Zelenskyy is Trump's number one enemy and he could be in great danger.

Zelenskyy is Trump's number one enemy and he could be in great danger.

Not only him.
Ukraine. Europe. The world.

There is a big Atlantic Ocean between us, but as it turns out, and I have no doubt about this for many years, the USA has a great influence on what is happening in the world, whether it is good or bad, we can all have our own opinion on it. But I have a feeling that what D.T. is doing is just some kind of well-played chess game, which is supposed to appear different on the outside than what is really happening in the background. As for the war in the UA, my opinion is that the killing needs to be stopped as soon as possible. If you have two sons, and they start fighting, will you lend one of them a knife? I have two sons and when they were younger they often fought, but if I didn't know who started it, both of them got hit in the ass , and the fight ended, even though it wasn't fair for either of them, but at least they didn't hurt each other.
