I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.

@georgetakei We Europeans have a basic interest in Ukraine succeeding against the Russian invaders. Ukraine is not the only nation Putin craves. His hunger is still big, and that of his supporters even bigger, imperial. Trump is copying Putin in that.

"[...] fill the void we have left."

There are some nasty problems with that, though:

"First Patriot missile facility outside US starts up in Germany [...] Missile deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027 [...] They can be sold to other countries like Ukraine within the rules of U.S. export regulations"

@georgetakei The US was viewed as the defender of democracy but now because people voted for sick human we are not and will never. Lucky England Trump was not president during the 30s and 40s, because England would had be part of Germany and Europe and the rest be part of Germany.
