UK,Northerner through and through, dreamt that one day they could have been an astronaut. But it wasn't to be. While on earth just have to try to do the best. While still dreaming for the stars.
I think Trump is making it harder for Zelensky to make it look like Trump is trying! With European countries involved it may make Putin and Trump work together in a way we could never have imagined. I don't trust any of them.

Zelensky just provided a clear example of how you handle these pathetic assholes. You don’t allow them to distort the truth, you don’t back down, you don’t capitulate and do what they want.
We could use some leaders like that and seeing it only makes that fact painfully more obvious.

Zelensky would not have signed anyway after that dressing down. So he threw him out. What a clown.

Who wants to wake up every day and reckon with the end of the world as they know it? But it is so,the sooner political leaders come to terms with the fact that roads back to the old way are closed,more likely it is that this new world will not be fashioned entirely on Trump’s terms.'Guardian Malik'

Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Orwell.
