Thanks Bill, excellent article. Just listened to Vance lecturing the Europeans on democracy and free speech. Besides being embarrassing, it brought to mind Trump's insurrection. If that wasn't a denial of free speech and democracy, I don't know what was. And they have the nerve to lecture anyone. Shame on Trump and the rest!
It is amazing the disparity of perceptions of President Trump and his actions. While I can understand some of the “logical” differences of opinion, most of opinions expressed against him seem biased. I hope we all can overcome prior conceptions and media distortions to arrive at reasonable evaluations of what is actually occurring in realty. People of good intentions should be able to arrive at a balanced assessment when evaluating opinions from each side of the political spectrum.
You principal is a worthy one, but you might be focused on the polarisation of American politics. Look across the world, such as at the reactions to Trump's phone call, Jerry, in pulling the rug out from under Ukraine, and popping champagne corks in Mosco. I keep hoping against hope that Trump will do the right thing, only to be continually shocked and gobsmacked.
Bill, your dismay at tRump's latest series of Putin appeasements is but a shadow of the reaction here in California. And it's not quite a month since he was inaugurated. And then there's the Ûberpresident, Elon Musk. At least half of Congress and the judiciary is girding to cancel both of them. It can't happen fast enough.
You have lived in California and England too long.
America is witnessing a revolution which perhaps started when Elon bought Twitter. He stopped the censorship & allowed conservative voices to be heard.
An incredibly populist President & a brilliant visionary have joined forces to transform our world.
Nancy, as much as I respect your opinion, nothing good will come from appeasing Putin and betraying Ukraine, Europe and the other half of the American public, along with all the other neighbours and allies Trump has insulted in the last few weeks.

Indeed. I think Trump and his team tend to project their failings onto others. Thank you for your comment.

Good to hear. We don't hear that much of any resistance in the States - thanks for letting me know. Yes, it can not happen fast enough.
Bill, I agree with you, and now do trace the Ukrainian situation, it is a real catastrophe for my country
Ukraine and Europeans are fighting back - critical of this appeasement by the USA.

A revolution-a golden age-is coming.
Your sister, Nancy

Sadly, your brother, Bill
