It's a problem that the Trump administration's delegation voted with Russia and North Korea. It's a bigger problem that this was part of an ugly pattern. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries Monday on a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for its occupied territory to be returned that passed overwhelmingly in the U.N. General Assembly on Monday.
As NBC News reported, the United States actually lobbied countries around the world to oppose the resolution brought by Ukraine and European countries......
This also coincides with several key figures from the Trump administration and the White House appearing on Sunday shows and refusing to say that Russia started the war in Ukraine.
This came on the heels of Trump lying about missing money the United States sent to Ukraine in the form of aid.
Which came on the heels of Trump repeatedly labeling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a dictator.
Which came on the heels of Trump accusing Ukraine of starting the war that Russia started.
Which came on the heels of Trump excluding Ukrainian officials from diplomatic talks about Ukraines future.
Which came on the heels of Trump vouching for Vladimir Putins trustworthiness and interest in peace.
Which came on the heels of Trump saying hes prepared to reward Russia by welcoming it back into the G7.
Which came on the heels of allegations that Trump, during his first term, secretly sent Covid-19 testing equipment to Putin at the height of the pandemic, even as people in his own country struggled to gain access to such resources. (While Trump denied the allegations, the Kremlin to the extent that its statements have merit said Trump did, in fact, send Covid tests to Moscow.)
Which came on the heels of Trump denouncing U.S. efforts to combat Russian misinformation campaigns, going so far as to characterize Russia as a victim.
Which came on the heels of Trump talking up the possibility of lifting U.S. sanctions against Russia.
Which came on the heels of Trump publicly congratulating Russia over a historic prisoner swap.
Which came on the heels of Trump pointing to Putin for validation to justify his position on Ukraine.
Which came on the heels of Trump celebrating the fact that Putin was echoing his talking points about the 2024 election and Trumps multiple criminal indictments.
Which came on the heels of Trump telling a Mar-a-Lago audience how smart Putin was for invading a neighboring country.
Which came on the heels of Trump describing Putins invasion of Ukraine as genius and part of a wonderful strategy.
Which came on the heels of years worth of Trump kowtowing, genuflecting and repeatedly showing abject weakness toward Moscow.
The Republican Partys Putin wing used to be limited to a handful of fringe House GOP members. In 2025, the partys Putin wing has taken root in the West Wing.

(60,170 posts)However, there are nine million Americans abroad, and most of us give a more accurate picture of how most Americans feel about both their current government and their host friends in other countries.
ALL of my friends here in EU-Land know and share my disgust with the Trumpanzees, and know full well from me and my visiting American friends that Trump is not universally supported--far from it.
When Trumpanzees come over here, they usually speak only English, and think that the plural of "Nazi" is written with an apostrophe. Many, if not most, Americans living abroad respect and attempt to learn the language of their host country, and respect their culture. We do not try to take their culture over, or impose ours on them.
Most Europeans know who their friends are, and know that MOST Americans ARE their friends. There is no Fox Noise here, and people do get more accurate impressions. Sure, there are the boors who come to Germany, demand beer in English and think it's cool to wave sausages around and make appropriate lewd jokes. But there are Germans and Brits and a lot of etc. who behave they same way abroad. Most Germans and Brits are not like that, and they know that most Americans are not arrogant, loudmouthed, ignorant Trumpanzees, either.
