Returning to international affairs, I turned on the news this morning to see that Trump is essentially trying to appease Russia by selling out Ukraine so he can claim to have made peace. I’m sure I won’t be the only person to find this gut-wrenchingly abhorrent: Trump is so arrogant and self-important that he thinks he can bypass the precious progress made towards peace, and just capitulate to Russia to get what he wants. Trump will then presumably do his big man act and brag about having made peace and ended the conflict, while not giving a fuck about the suffering he has caused or the fact that he would have sold an entire sovereign nation to it’s conqueror just to suit his own personal image. Surely we in Europe cannot stand back and let this happen. It’s like Chamberlain allowing Hitler to sweep through Poland and wherever else he fancied, before claiming to be a hero for avoiding a war. It is a vile, vile act of betrayal by a man who deserves to be rotting in jail.

Frankly, it is time the world treated trump and America as the egotistical bully it is now behaving as, before it causes more damage and suffering just to look good. We are perfectly capable of resolving conflicts on our own, without criminal moronic charlatans ruining things to suit their own vanity.
