Perfectly put. Every American should hang their head in shame.
The 28-point proposal being hawked around by America is so poorly put together, so vague, unbalanced and impractical that, in a more normal world, it would never have seen the light of day
Donald Trump’s peace plan would be bad for Ukraine, Europe and America
It is a sad mix of naked opportunism and strategic myopia

We Europeans must stop behaving as if the US is a friend, an ally. Clearly, it is not. It's a tough call but we need to start facing the truth and be firm about supporting Ukraine.
Next, expect to see Trump trade deals with Russia.

Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The deeply troubling details now circulating show what Trump wants: to help the Russian president,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues, “and to weaken Ukraine, perhaps fatally.”

Dear @lbc.co.uk - when listeners call in complaining about Labour's inability to achieve growth, how about just ONE of your program hosts remind said listeners of this fact and ask if they'd be willing to align with or even rejoin the EU if it meant getting that 8-10% boost?
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist
