It is shocking to witness Donald Trump making agreements for diesel fuel oil with a known war criminal, who has been attempting for four and a half years to seize Ukraine, and is responsible for mass death and destruction.
The “love affair” that Trump has with Vladimir Putin, and also the leaders of China and North Korea, are a danger to American national security and has alienated all of our NATO and Asian allies, in a manner that would be difficult to reverse anytime in the near future.
For Trump to blame Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the cause of the war is purely insane, as if the United States, if attacked, would not continue to do everything possible to regain lost territory and to defeat the aggressor.
History reminds that appeasement with an enemy does not resolve a war situation, and only persistent dedication to the cause of freedom, liberty, democracy, and national identity works in the long run of history.
This is a time to remind all readers and all sane Americans of what happened when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain conceded part of Czecholovakia (The Sudetenland), at the Munich Conference of 1938 to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. It was shameful, and led to World War II less than a year later.
One does not give in to an aggressor, and reward brutality and mass murder and destruction, rather persist in fighing such an authoritarian nation, which the Russian Federation is as much as the old Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and in the past, such nations as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.
It is unconscionable, immoral, unethical, and outrageous that ignorant Donald Trump, apparently not knowing history, or not caring, is willing to sacrifice a democratic nation in his quest for approval from dangerous, psychopathic tyrants.
The world is shocked by Trump’s action, and many in his own Republican Party have condemned this diesel fuel agreement, and called for its reversal, which, sadly, is unlikely to occur.
All the more reason why Democrats MUST win massive majorities in both houses of Congress for the future safety of the United States, and to take all action possible to resist Trump, and investigate the corruption of his Administration, to the maximum possible over the next two years.
Then, the Democrats must keep control of Congress and win the Presidency in 2028, and work to reverse, as much as possible, the horrendous actions of the most corrupt and dangerous President in American history, bar none.
