“Trump is wrong over Iran, but Europe can’t afford to divorce the US
“No other US president has been as antagonistic to European principles. But there’s no alternative to a strong transatlantic partnership”
Oh, please, there is something between subservient, abusive marriage and divorce.
It's called a respectful relationship.
But the United States has no understanding or tolerance for that.
“It's my way or the highway,” quite literally is what everyone is told.
Trump has now surrounded himself with the most grotesque retinue imaginable - Haley, Pompeo, Bolton, Haspel, and others.
My God, any of these people born many decades earlier and in Germany would have been leading figures in the Third Reich, serving it happily. They really are that ghastly, the lot of them.
The United States no longer loses moral ground, it simply has none. Washington operates from a thick haze of lies and greed and brutality.
Many once thought of it as "Leader of the Free World." Well, that expression today doesn't even qualify as sarcasm.
