Today on national and now international news was one of the most shameful displays of support for the war criminal Putin, put on by Trump and Vance, in a revolting school yard bullying that pretty much decimated respect for the values of the United States in the eyes of the world.
Zelensky demonstrated emotional restraint that also gave voice to the passion of a people who’ve withstood so much against the Russian invasion. He laid out the unvarnished truth of what happened in the timeline of the invasion in response to the wooden questioning about diplomacy by Vance, whose moral compass has now turned southward, powered by his ambition and plastic religious armor. In response Vance sputtered and got pissed like an incel shamed in front of his classmates and started the bullshit about “disrespect”. In actual fact, the whole shit-show was revelatory in how disrespectful the Trump/Vance/Musk chaos is undermining the alliance of the United States with democracies.
I, like other Americans, feel nothing but disgust and shame for how Trump and Vance comported themselves on television, siding with the war criminal who purposely bombed a maternity hospital, a building where children were sheltering and whose soldiers carried out mass murder, rape and other atrocities towards civilians. This day will live in infamy, because it has ruined much that was good about our country’s values and truths. We won’t forget.
Remember Bucha. Remember Mariupol. Remember that Putin’s leadership kidnapped and deported thousands of Ukrainian children and are still holding them in Russia.
