In plain terms, the United States aligned itself with Russia against Ukraine and NATO. By transmitting Moscow’s surrender terms unedited and pressuring Kyiv to accept them, the Trump Regime effectively sided with Russia in the war and attempted to force Ukraine’s capitulation. It is betrayal.
Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Allow me to encourage all not to cut off cartoonists' signatures. Cartoons are literally their livelihood. We mostly get them for free. The minimum is to credit them. When you come across a cartoon wil/o credit, a quick reverse search often helps.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

In the here and now war in Europe, 'persecuted minority' (referring to Russian speakers in Ukraine) is exactly what Putin says to POTUS every time they chat. And POTUS admires Putin, POTUS is wilfully ignorant of Europe & its history, & Europe is realising that the USA is no longer a reliable ally.
