Using our “global strength” to force an invaded country into concessions with an invader makes us complicit with the invader. It’s like returning an abuse victim to the abuser’s home. Shameful. Wrong. Un-American.

@georgetakei so in other words: america wants to wall itself off but still wants to invade the meeting rooms of foreign countries to meddle with their politics?
Guess they didn't wall themselves off enough

@georgetakei people say that Trump is beholden to Putin and Russia. However, I believe that’s false. He answers to the Saudi’s.
Given the Saudi differences with a Russian backed Iran (and Russia), I believe this presents a perfect opportunity for them to put the screws on a desperate Putin [or reward him], depending on what they get out of this (profit sharing from the mineral fields and the black sea trade routes, plus continued efforts to splinter Europe would be a start).
Trump will get his, but the Saudis dictate how the deal goes down.

Teaming up with the enemy isn't the usual sign of strength I've come to recognize in a leader.

Marco Rubio in Saudi Arabia in a polished palace where Ukraine is for sale. The location where Donald always wished to be invited.
None of the persons present can make any object that is in the photo: paintings and woodwork made by non-Arab craftsmen. Trees in the desert planted and cared for by foreign slaves. The Trump world, made up of sales pitches.
Wasn't the U.S. always like that?

@georgetakei They are outdoing Chamberlain by a far margin.
At least Neville Chamberlain understood that Nazi Germany was dangerous.
Trump's crew only understand that they'll make a lot of money if the sanctions go away.
Of course, the most interesting part is what happen as they find out their plan won't work.
Europe is preparing to finance Ukraine by itself. And since US is now aligning with Russia, you might have to consider us your enemies perhaps at some point.
Hope it ends before that

@georgetakei If Trump was president in the 30s he would had supported Germany and talk about how Hitler is so wonderful. If you do not think so, you did not pay attention to him.

@georgetakei The victim analogy is even better than you think when you realize that Trump *literally* claimed that Ukraine started it. I swear it was pretty much as if he just said "Ukraine shouldn't have worn that pretty dress if they didn't want this to happen."

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
