Thirty-Four Nations Are Better Than One (Us)

 

The U.S. now stands alone and apart from alliances that have been built up and have largely kept the peace over the past 75 years, thanks to war criminal Putin's asset in the Oval Office, the Malignant Fascist. The Paris Defence and Strategy Forum convened this week by leader of the free world French President Emmanuel Macron stepped into the vacuum left by Putin's asset to take on Russia and its aggression in Ukraine:

More than 30 army chiefs among Washington's closest allies met in Paris on Tuesday without their U.S. counterparts, seeking to take on more responsibility over the Ukraine war given President Donald Trump's unpredictability and rapprochement with Moscow.

The closed-door gathering of 34 army chiefs, including NATO alliance and EU members as well as Japan and Australia, was a rare - and possibly unprecedented - convening without the U.S.

 

The talks aimed in part to assess options and capabilities to guarantee Ukraine's security in the event of a ceasefire, including potential European peacekeepers, and to maintain Kyiv's long-term military strength.

 

"The political message is we can do it together and without the United States, but it's clear there are things we can't do and the problem with Russia is we need to have deterrence," said a European diplomat involved in the talks, adding that the meeting was largely pre-planning.

 

A military official said the U.S. was not invited, in an intended signal that Europe and other partners could take their responsibilities given Trump has distanced himself from allies.

 

Officials said the presence of countries like Japan and Australia, both of whom have also faced uncertainty from the new U.S. administration, showed a deeper malaise among Washington's traditional allies...

The strategic disaster of a Russian asset as President of the United States is a world historical coup for the Russian dictator, who has cultivated and likely blackmailed the Malignant Fascist into serving the interests of Russia.  What else could explain the inexplicable confrontations with our friends and allies in Canada, Mexico, and western Europe?  What else could explain the incredible self- sabotage of the U.S. economy by ruinous tariffs placed on those friends and allies, and on the American people?  What else could explain the dismantling of institutions and the rule of law that made America a functioning democracy, rather than an oligarchic autocracy like Russia?  Who benefits from all of this chaos and destruction and who gains?  

We think you know the chilling answer to those questions.
