I’m not sure if Rubio/Gabbard & Trump Admin understand or care that US is now persona non grata as far as Europe is concerned. This clip was taken from ITV News Uk last night. A shocking new reality.

Boris Johnson is the vainglorious fool who weakened the UK by doing Putin’s bidding/ wrenching us from the EU, just for personal capital. He told Pres Zelensky that Trump wd be good for Ukraine; even y’day he urged Ukraine to sign this dud of a deal. Zelensky was ambushed today. NATO is kaput.

This 40 second clip from Russian State TV wholly encapsulates the full shock and horror of this week’s Trump/US pivot towards Russia, & firmly against Ukraine. The ending is especially devastating.

Beseech you, sir, be merry. You have cause—
So have we all—of joy, for our escape
Is much beyond our loss…

And churlish chiding of the winter's wind, 
Which when it bites and blows upon my body
Even till I shrink with cold…”

My sighs are blown away, my salt tears gone,
Mine eyes are turn’d to fire, my heart to lead:   
Heavy heart’s lead, melt at mine eyes’ red fire!
