The View from Europe
The US aligns with NORTH KOREA ?
Most of you know who Anne Applebaum is. If not, read here. Anne may be one of the most educated individuals on Earth about Putin’s Russia as well as Eastern and Central Europe. She is a brilliant journalist and author.
From her Substack about Russia and the UN:
”This was a moment of diplomatic incompetence as well as bad politics: The U.S. was on the losing side, and indeed another American resolution also failed. Nevertheless this marks a turning point. The US voted against its allies on something that deeply affects their security. One might say that the United States just aligned itself with Autocracy Inc.”
Anne clearly married brilliance, as well. Below is yesterday’s speech by her husband. Radosław Sikorski is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland. He was speaking for the European Union at the UN.
This is the speech that should have come from the United States. Instead, the US voted along with NORTH KOREA to oppose a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. You read that right.
This bears repeating with emphasis. Our current president has sided with the beyond brutal COMMUNIST dictator of NORTH KOREA - a piece of human shit responsible for the deaths of millions of his own people. WE voted with arguably the most horrible nation on the Earth in support of Putin’s attempted theft of it’s neighbor Ukraine.
THIS IS VERY BAD. THIS IS THE STUFF OF VERY FRIGHTENING MOVIES.
Our president is openly supporting Russian aggression against our friends. This international realignment is a betrayal of such scope and depth, that it seems surreal. For this alone, $Trump should be handcuffed, head shaved and dressed in orange.
There are many versions of treason. Donald J. $Trump seems eager to embrace them all. Now… where are those Republican “patriots” who believe in freedom, democracy and a strong defense? I am listening….
This cannot stand.

My sentiments exactly. I've been replying to the Dems gimme-money e-mails telling them "When you have T**** in handcuffs with a phalanx of FBI agents, then call me. Until then, no $." It's time to stand up and take this fight to the cabal, physically challenging them. Speeches in the halls of Congress and lawsuits filed in the courts are only going to be ignored. The Republicans have thrown their lot in with this menace, and should be roundly scorned. It's too late for "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
This is a great statement: "Our president is openly supporting Russian aggression against our friends. This international realignment is a betrayal of such scope and depth, that it seems surreal. For this alone, $Trump should be handcuffed, head shaved and dressed in orange." Right on target.
