I’m trying hard not to accuse America per se but recognise that this is Trump and his administration being driven by Kremlin interference and direct involvement.

I cannot see the American people putting up with this nightmare but I fear it’s not hitting home as it should.

Ukraine is just a part of a bigger picture where Russia is actively interfering with Western politics, business, governments, elections and referendums with the aim of bringing down the West.

With the traditional USA out of the game Russia will move on to eastern Europe. In the meantime China makes it’s move on Taiwan and others in the region; the Trump USA taking Canada, Greenland, Western Europe; the middle east being carved between Russia and Trump USA.

It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better whilst Trump is in power.

Ronald Reagan is spinning in his grave.

Here in the UK people have been asking privately if Trump is a Russian asset. It is now being asked openly in the mainstream media.

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

Any deal with the current US administration isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

“drifting in an authoritarian direction”

Seriously? They’re taking the piss pot and calling the kettle golden orange. Stop sending JD Vance over, stop Musk arse licking the far right AfD twats and stop repeatedly electing an authoritarian orange.

I wondered if Tesla was to disappear it would be because of Chinese EV competition. I never thought it would be because Musk would reveal himself as a right wing fascist knobhead.

“First, the US opposed a European-drafted resolution condemning Moscow’s actions and supporting Ukraine’s territorial integrity - voting the same way as Russia and countries including North Korea and Belarus at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.”

“UNGA members backed the European resolution by 93 votes but, extraordinarily, the US did not abstain but actually voted against it, along with Russia, Israel, North Korea, Sudan, Belarus, Hungary and 11 other states, with 65 abstentions.”

The point is that Americans are perceived as calling anything that they don’t understand or doesn’t conform as either Communist or Socialist even if they aren’t.

Before or since Trumputin?

I’m assuming you mean this Krasnov.

So, how are Tesla sales today?

That is exactly what the Russians want America to do. Russia is creating a massive split in the West, causing America to turn in on itself, causing allies to condemn the US and Europe to fall apart.

Trumputin and the Whitehouse administration is with and for Russia. I can’t see the rest of the USA putting up with this, it’s own military included, despite the electoral outcome.

In the meantime Europe needs to pull together, significantly up it’s military capability to be comparable to the USA and be prepared to take on Russia by itself. A huge task but necessary.

What do you mean “look like”?

From this day forth he will be known as Trumputin.

Just wait for China to start rebuilding Ukraine in a few years time.

After being out lasted by a lettuce, ousted as PM, then kicked out as an MP you’d think she’d get the message that she’s a bit useless.

Would that be the same changes that Liz Truss put forward that nose-dived the bonds market by announcing unplanned tax cuts?

I think Trump will try to amend the 22nd Amendment and he will become dictator of the US.
