Amen, Simon. Trump has assaulted and debased the values our nation has championed and fought for around the world, and for which so many Americans have their lives. It’s disgusting and demoralizing. One has to wonder what the side deal is between Putin and Trump.
The side deal Trump has with Putin is mentioned in the Epstein files. When Epstein was talking to Putin about what he had on Trump to bring him down. Information that Putin is using to takeover Ukraine for example. Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do, that being to abandon Ukraine.
A 100% release of the Epstein files will explain so much about the actions of Trump, actions based on pedophilia, perversion, sex trafficking and the resulting blackmail and extortion. Politics is a very dirty business.
Question: Is Putin holding something over Trump. If so, what is it that potentially gives Putin the opportunity to take over Europe and end democracy in those countries?
Because, if Putin does get Ukraine, then Trump not only betrays Ukraine, but commits the ultimate betrayal of European countries and allies.
Which means that NATO will no longer include the United States.
And Putin will use his military to attack the European countries.
Thereby, Putin could potentially accomplish his goal of taking over Europe and ending democracy in those countries.
And all because Americans elected a compromised person to its highest office.
Foreign policy for Congress always seems to me low risk, low reward. So there might be opposition to the very dangerous sell out, but I would be surprised if that leads to a real break. Maybe part of a trend.
It also shows how the Epstein scandal might really be urgent and central to foreign policy. There is at least some link there.
Simon, thank you for putting such an informative and powerful focus on Ukraine. As a European from a country that Nazi Germany occupied during WW2, this is personal to me.
I called my reps yesterday and asked them to stand up for Ukraine and to tie Trump's capitulations to the Epstein files. It seems at least worth asking the question: what does russia have on Trump?
Called and thanked Elizabeth Warren for her part in this dialogue. Called Sen Markey and asked him to get involved. I'm also telling them that the illegal military build up around Venezuela is terrifying. Both these things are just horrible. In spite of the good things that are happening, these are creepy. Will keep calling every day. I hope Zelenksy says NO F'ing way. I hope EU will stand up and support Ukraine.
Hi fam. I guess this is my day to trash talk but I must pass on this warning. It comes from Kris Goldsmith but I want to confirm that I have personal experience that what he says is true of this group - Refuse Fascism is a front for the Revolutionary Communist Party - a creepy cult that has shown up to hijack and thus sabotage genuine grassroots left groups in the past - leading to the groups disbanding in acrimony.
They are a bunch of parasites. They will try to put themselves forward as THE voice of YOUR group, alienating any freedom loving person from joining. This is Kim Jong Un stuff.
I have been for decades a left activist (and by that I mean anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian) I'm here as part of your big tent because I despise authoritarians of whatever flavor as my first priority, and if I disagree with some here about the solutions put forward as too circumscribed, I share your love of freedom, dignity, and a better life for people and planet. I only mention my actual political philosophy (this is not a political philosophy debating society) to make clear that my warning does not come from the same place as those who automatically dismiss others like Bernie or Zohran or AOC as beyond the political pale.
Thank you Simon!

I can only hope he gets rebuked by Congress. Everything I’ve read makes my stomach churn for Ukraine.

Great newsletter today. Thanks for it, and all the embedded links on this situation. I hope to read all these articles this weekend.
I am sickened by Trump's proposed Ukraine proposal - sickened. Is America going to continue to act emasculated?

I will call my Senators as suggested.

This "peace" plan is a total give away to Putin. Ridiculously evil.
