Those with a backbone say an ethical choice to support Ukraine must be made and let the chips fall where they may with the Donald.

I think Trump can isolate himself very well all on his own and doesn't need any help from others.

Trump's a realist, busy pressuring G-7, NATO etc. to step up on defense spending and at the same time unwilling to continue funding idiot policies that have no outcome other than further costly, deadly destruction like Ukraine.

World leaders must not get bogged down in territorial matters, that can only escalate into something far worse,

Trump=Common Sense, Make the World Peaceful Again

Yeah that would be dumb when Trump and the USA can beat all of them even if they group together.

That's worked really well on Putin, Zelensky, Xi, Bibbi, Panama, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Hacktivist Judges and the people of LA hasn't it?

Maybe you need a buffer, faker Trump avatar.

Trump isolates himself from any group he does not have total control over.

But, it's the baby that wants to be isolated, he mumble it all the time, Me first! Me first!

I've not naive enough to believe that this kind of idiocy is representative of the American people as a whole. I like to think that for every asinine warmongering comment made by some gung-ho redneck, there are a thousand educated Americans silently cringing.

Could be wrong though.

France is just trying to figure out who they should surrender to in WW3.

Trump is already ahead of them on the Ukraine issue.

you are going to be sadly, sadly disappointed in how your leaders bend the knee and kiss the ring (among other things)

I have yet to see a European bend the knee to Trump. They try to avoid disgracing the ignoramus in public and try to cram a few more iotas of information into that thick skull in private but that is the extent of it.

Even if the Europeans are mean to Donald, Modi will be there to give him a reassuring hug.
