Europe, Canada, etc should make NATO more independent of the USA.
and join together to make our own military equipment .
Only France and the UK have Nukes in that list
Though it’s a high bar, this really does need to be the answer.
We Americans have been asking you all to do that since 2014.
@@Budget_Prepper Yeah, we thought it was going to be peace. Turned out we were wrong.
Meanwhile none of this is being aired on TV news. Surely this impending crisis is more important than any other issue.
peterlaurie
It's not being aired because Ukraine is being destroyed. The nonsense they have spouted this past two years is showing itself for what it is.
I totally agree 👍
The vending machine repairman strike is coming up but this is a close second
Some of those other issues are tied into this one.
It's just his opinion of what HE thinks will happen. There is no actual basis to this. Too soon panic.
NATO will not fall apart. All they have to do is PAY their fair share in accordance with the treaty. It's that simple.
Nato's purpose ended with the cold war and europe needs to be able to take care of itself without the US. Shut it down.
NATO se neće raspasti !
Raspašće se USA i EU 😂
Agreed. Europe has a GDP of 19 Trillion dollars. That Japan and the US should be the primary countries to finance this war is insane
Spineless leaders of Europe. When have we seen this before.... It all seems so familiar.....
Parphasing De'Gaulle nations dont have friends only interests. Europe must learn to take responsibilty for its own fate. America has been, and hopefully remain a great supporter of Europe, but if Europe is not prepared to defend its interests, why should America.
Nope, not De Gaulle. It was Palmerston in 1848 speaking in the House of Commons. The American Kissinger paraphrased it a century later. Not aware De Gaulle ever said it and is unlikely to have quoted a Brit.
USA blew up Nordstream with the express purpose of de industrialising the EU.
America and Europe is tightly knit together by trade. It's the largest amount of trade in the world. If Europe gets into a major war with russia it will have devastating effect on the economy not only in Europe, but equally in America.
The USA has long been against building an independent European defense capacity within the NATO organization. Madeleine Albright strongly warned against building an independent European defense within NATO. The Trump administration opposed the establishment of the European PESCO project with the same arguments.
The US often forgets that Europe is also a defense of the American people. The only time solidarity was tested was when you asked for European help - and got it. But the US left Afghanistan without regard for its allies. My country has relatively lost more soldiers than the United States - and this was thanks for the help.
What more and more Europeans have come to realize is that we cannot trust the Americans. Buy European weapons and build an independent European defense organization. We have a population, economy and capacity to match the US. A United States against China without European support is hardly a desirable scenario for the American people - MEGA (Make Europe Great Again)
As yu see in some answers here there is already a readiness of going it alone. Trump probably destroyed the US hegemony by babbling. When the Europeans and the Asians see that US promises are thin air there will be a Nato without us and a Asian Nato without us. Not being the top dog dollar will not be THE currency and us will tank.
Let the russians be the frightened side ,not ukraine or europe or nato,its due time for to teach russia a hefty lesson
Sweden and Finland joined NATO out of fright. But NATO advertises it as proof of NATO's greatness.
@johnadam2885 well they better step up
easy to support w a r when you're not there.
Being a thief and bullying small countries is nothing to be proud of.
Putin claims to fear NATO expansion, but he moved military assets from kaliningrad and the baltic to ukraine.
Maybe we should work together in Europe? Biggest internal market and all... We really need the UK, just forget this Brexit episode.
You need our money you mean?
So true.@@Ian-sj1wy
@@Ian-sj1wy No I come to the UK professionally and see businesses and people struggle. Coming month is another episode with extra checks and delays, costing lots of money. Eventually to be paid for by the ordinary UK taxpayer.
Europe refuses to pay for defense - first need to eliminate the social programs then maybe EU can afford
You can’t forget the Brexit ‘thing’ it was democratically voted for, understand?
Professor Michael Clarke is Fabulous 🦄& Excellent interview from Kate as always 💖
Michael Clarke is no professor. He is a 🙄 (donkey).
Your pay packet is in the post lickarse
People who wants peace, liberty and democracy need to stand together or we are lost. Let not Putin sow discord amongst us. The reason for the US to be a NATO member is that we together can uphold global law and order for a prosperous future for us and our children. The US going its own way is a losing proposition, not just for Europe but for the US and every other peace loving Nation. If you are American and anti NATO you are pro fascism.
I am a European living in the US. I have been always pro-NATO. But I grew sick in the past two years of seeing almost half of my country of origin's population vocally oppose NATO and construe it as an occupation force. Americans have lost the minds and hearts of many Europeans (at least on my neck of the wood) to Russian propaganda. Left with the choice, I now believe that US must look at the facts and act in self interest. Many Europeans (not all, I am aware) are selling the 2% contribution as an insurance policy? No you need to increase your defense capability, arguably by much more, for the alliance to make sense. Yes , we all lose without NATO but most likely the US loses a bit less, perhaps much less. Sad but I am calling things as I see them.
@@paoloporsche3459 depressing and scary
'The reason for the US to be a NATO member is that we together can uphold global law and order ...'
Yeah right, like you upheld it by invading Iraq and Afghanistan and Israel.
You have lost all credibility. Russia has ended your global order, it is for you to join the new one. You cannot dictate to others as in the colonial era.
@@paoloporsche3459You should look at the foreign aid budgets and refugee support, Poland has 2 million, before demanding more money. Trump says this to divide, he is pro Russian and does not believe in democracy, and nor it seems do 40 odd percent of Americans.
Well said.
I knew Mike Clarke in the early 80s when he was a lecturer and me a student at Newcastle Uni Politics Dept. He is as good now as then. He looks and sounds the same. Well done on your career, Mike!
Was he so wrong at that time too 😅
1. Europe does not have the resources to build up and it will be very costly for them.
2. Zelensky presidency finishes in a month. If People are against him and want him to go why he should stay 🤔
3. Trump did not say anything about NATO during whole his campaign. All he said was no help for Ukraine. Nobody knows really what is Trump's intention toward NATO
4. He argues Ukraine should continue the war and keep the war for what? What will remain of Ukraine at the end of this war with billions of loans, no infrastructure, no economy, a shortage of workforce, and thousands of people with disabilities and trauma? How does this war benefit Ukraine? It more looks like it benefits those who do not want to accept they made a mistake that caused the devastation of a country. It is all about the West hegemony, not Ukraine 😂 so how did Ukraine plan to win the war? By staying in the war for 10 years even today they can safely mobilize enough manpower.
He got ukraine horrifically wrong
Why was a russian troll studying there?
@@philipgage4143 lol keep up with the lies
still wrong on everything though
KATE- EXCELLENT= AS ALWAYS.
She does a great job. Always!
I’d like her to chair Question Time. She’d be so much better than Fiona Bruce
@@T_157-40you smoking or what?
The expansion of NATO ensured that it will fragment. No 2 countries are going to ever have the exact same interests. It is insane to expect that 31 countries will ever agree on ANYTHING. The eastern countries have a completely different perspective than the Western European countries. The interests of Turkey are vastly different from the rest of Europe. Turkey could seize most of southern Europe if Erdogan made an alliance with Russia and Hungary.
Exactly
The UK needs to wake up and rearm. This is a dangerous world.
And I disagree that there is anything 'philosophical' about massive war crimes and waves of terror attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. If any countries side with Putin, it's not about philosophy, it's about being rotten to the core.
No we don't. Most people in the uk do not want this war and they do not want to pay for it.
Vote for the party with highest military budget. Early on 5% is better than late on 45%!!! Come on politicians!!!
@@Domesticated_Ape Russia cannot afford to lose the war as it loses everything. Putin is one person there are thousands in Russia more extreme than him and most of them can get power after him. When it comes to Ukraine's association with the West, the Russian elite think the same. Touching Ukraine was always by all means and purpose a red line . So you can guess what will happen if we push for such a scenario. If the West loses, it will lose hegemony and financial power over the rest of the world. We don't need ti talk about Ukraine. It has already been lost. Billion dollars of loans, not much infrastructure, no economy, and worst of all a total change in the country's demography which lead to a øasting workforce shortage. They probably continue the war and lose whatever has remained too.

I like Sir Michael. He is very believable. Cannot see the thinking of many NATO members who are very nervous Nellies over Putin and his rotting country. Oh, how I wish that NATO would stand up to Putin and his henchmen and tell them where to get off and in so doing support Ukraine.
Ukraine will.never win back the territories it has lost. That is a simple fact.
But your Sir Michael is admitting what others have been saying last year - NATO and its client state are defeated. How can a paper tiger stand up to a real bear ? It is wishful thinking.
actually it is the capitalist west that is rotting. Russia can't be defeated, its resources are near infinite and in China it has found a perfect technology partner that can use those resources to provide very advanced tech in amounts the West can't match today. It pains me as someone who lives in the UK that I have to say this. Nuclear arsenal gives makes you undefeatable, gold makes you independent. Russia has both and that's what count in this and in any similar future case ...
And take Putin to the Hague.
As a Military brat, I can tell you that Sweden and Finland will not leave under any condition, esp. Finland with its history and Russa. Sweden will stay as it means not only protection through numbers but great sales opportunities within NATO. The big loser will be US. UK will need to buckle up and get with it in terms of prep and forces .( as with Canada! )
I totally agree. I would add to that, if I may, the eastern front of NATO, who have borders with Russia and consider themselves lucky to have been accepted as NATO members. They are staunch NATO supporters, all having more than 2% of GDP for defence budget, not surprisingly. 50 years of darkness under the Russian boot, having their countries plundered, made them resolute not to repeat this ghastly piece of history again. Granted, there's Hungary and Slovakia that are duplicitous, just like Turkey. Serbia is not a NATO member. Therefore, out of discussion. In my humble opinion, Europe does not need USA. as a member. They are united more than ever. I live in Europe.
UK politicians are so tough against Putin, Bravo!!......Sadly, UK has absolutely no serious conventional force, hardly any Frontline infantry, tanks, ships. Air force is decent, but of no major threat to Russia.
You are who ?
@@Thelostgoldhunterssomeone that speaks the truth.
@@Thelostgoldhunters Someone who knows what he is talking about. I would disagree in only one regard. He overestimates the capabilities of the RAF.
Not entirely true - the UK might not match Russia in a conventional war with boots on the ground tanks etc etc but the UK can deliver a nuclear blow that can be just as devastating to Russia as the US is. Do not think that the UK is some kind of push over the air force & navy are very capable !!
UK military is by far the highest ranked in W.Europe. Just check global firepower index or any other military ranking. France a long way behind, nobody else even registering. Airforce and Royal Navy too small but very high tech and capable, particularly submarines and the latest frigates.
This channel needs to turn the volume up, can hardly hear it.
Turns out you're not missing anything.
Then it’s certainly a good thing that Trump will not be reelected.
What a lot of nonsense ... NATO dismantling.... Really ???
I think this is a real opportunity for Europe to stand alone and independent from the US both militarily and economically. UK needs to reevaluate where it wants to be in this new world structure. Standing alone is not an option.
What happened to the IRONCLAD comments of support FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES to Ukraine. Can you ever trust the modern day political anymore ?
Could be like Europe; humanitarian and moral support
You cannot trust an American president that has a popularity of less than half the voters making a promise. Better luck if you've got Senate approval for a treaty. And you need the House to craft spending bills. If you believe or count on such comments, shame on you, you fool.
@@icu17siberia you know that Europe has supplied more than the US right? Not just in humanitarian but also in financial and military support...
@@thegreatdane3627Yes, but "Europe" is 27 separate countries.
@@2Uahoj No, Europe is 44 countries. 27 countries is the EU. And the US is 4-5x larger than any country in the EU. If we compare the aid to Ukraine relative to the size of each country's population or economy, then the US is not even in the top 10...
I really hope France and Germany and Poland STEP IT UP AND GIVE UKRAINE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!!
If the United Staes abruptly leaves NATO it is possible that the remainder might pull together. NATO is a lot more cohesive now than it was 4 years ago. Don't underestimate the motivating effect of adversity. The difficult part will be when the US has to leave the bases they have all over NATO as the Anericans abdicate their leadership. The US will emerge seriously weakened.
We Americans are never going to be weakened the only ones that will be truly weakened will be Europe.
Michael Clarke always speak wise words and give great respect 👍
Excellent interview 😃
Traitor Mike Johnson snubbed Lord Cameron and Trump “The Traitor’ did much the same.
Good. We need a Europe-only alliance. No USA, no Turkey.
Germany itself is selfish ot it can deal with Russia own its own.
I hope and pray that every African nation and nations with people of color file lawsuits for reparations from the Royal families, and Western nations until the COMING AGAIN OF JESUS CHRIST 🙏!
Never trust America
I have seen how this works in my lifetime. You just cheat each other and pretend. It's how you got the militaries you have.
Sounds good to me. . As an American citizen I'm OK with this
If they leave NATO they should also be OUT OF THE EU!
It's a DISGRACE I'm ashamed to be British NATO NEEDS to do ANYTHING TO STOP RUSSIA
Speaker Mike Johnson people are dying because you failed to act. That is on you buddy. Support a free Country before its to late. Before people start calling you a murderer.!!!!!
How many did Zelensky send to the meat grinder?
Call Trump and Johnson traitors and murderers like Putin… because it is true.
@@God_help_us "you failed to act. " - nope, he just follows orders from Moscow.
We need a European version of NATO, not including Hungary which will continue to obstruct. Its worth remembering that the US only entered WW2 after Pearl Harbour
Indeed, without Hungary. It is a pity that Germany don’t accept that Europe need the nuclear protection of France .
🇺🇸 entered the First World War 6 APR 1917.
They historically sit back, watch, then slide in during the 9th and inning only to claim they won the war. As world wars go, 🇺🇸 is 2 for 2 in this regard.
No, Hungary is critical as it's a frontline country.
And maybe not forgotten the west don’t help the Hungarian in there up raising in 1956.
It waited to enter the war because it’s not Americas responsibility to protect Europe. You also ignored the billions of dollars worth of goods and weapons America provided before it entered the war2.
Winning means a free Ukraine with restoration of 1990 borders.
I hope to god that we continue to help Ukraine, I think things could really unravel dramatically.
Michael Clarke is always a fascinating calm-headed analyst.
NATO will not fragment - it will go on, up its spending and take on its role without USA telling them what to do or not do .
I agree. NATO is about its vision and goals. Finland and Sweden in, USA possibly out. The pack just gets reshuffled.
@@marviwilson1853 the US is not leaving NATO....give me a break. If anything, Trump's rhetoric (regardless of how crass) forced Europe to move in the right direction to meet their alliance obligations regarding military spending - I'd call that a win for everyone. The US has a massive forward presence in Europe and I've heard nothing that indicates this is going away. In fact, I had more faith in the national security team under Trump vs. the current administration (i.e. Obama/Biden's inaction during the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014 arguably set the wheels in motion for the 2022 war).
I believe the big question that US policymakers in DoD and DoS are wrestling with concerns China (I suppose this is our "backyard" problem to which Europeans would likely agree, much like how many US citizens are starting to look at the Ukraine war). Militarily, the US stepped away from the "Two Major War" strategy in the early 90s - I believe the push to get the European members of NATO to step up is linked with the strategy to enable the US to shift some (not all) focus to the Pacific. Australia, NZ, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, etc. interoperability needs to be bolstered....Despite the fact Russian aggression has turned hot, the US is beginning to feel that China represents the more dominant threat.
NATO was there for the US after 9/11. That alliance is not going away, regardless of who occupies the White House. I think Professor Clarke knows that too....
Great. . I hope my country USA gets out of Nato. The Soviet Union is over! Europe deal with Europe's problems
Since English is my second language I lack the lexicon needed to express how much I despise USA and Germany. I have never felt hatred in my life, but I've been burning with it for few months now every time I remember those two.
@@Domesticated_Ape good to hear that I'm not the only one
Hate away! Hating is good for you.
Don't worry. Most English speakers don't know what lexicon means!
Take yoga.
If Trump is the next president. Boycot him. And europe stay together.
You are detached from reality 😂
NATO belongs to Europe not the USA. They are the ones who will pay the ultimate price for failure.
😂😂😂😂dreaming?
Baloney. Every president since JFK asked European NATO to so spend for money. The difference is that Trump spoke publicly about European stinginess.
Thank you, Mr Trump, for forcing Europe to start defending itself. The more defense we all have the better.

Nope

Usa copied everything from cons
Fire works

All copied from china
the PRC regime will definitely go for taivvan before trump comes back
since it’s going to happen anyways, the west should go for a vvar in taivvan preemtively
gotta do it while the west can win
Europe is wealthy. It should be entirely self sufficient for defence.
Western superpowers are trembling before Putin the same as they were after WWII when in 1945 gave the whole Eastern Europe to Stalin. Is it happening again?
Talk, talk, talk are empty blanks!!! Artillery speaks and carried the day and it is Russian end off!!!
Moscow Mike has other priorities: keeping his job as the speaker in the US Congress. The blood on his hands can always be washed off later.
Agreed! Trump is a huge danger!
Trump is a gift to Russia
So is Brexit
Trump would end the war by asking Putin how he would feel about the 82nd air bourn with full air support to show up as his neighbors in Ukraine.
@@donhansen1175 Trump showed us how stoopid he is when he met bloody dictator Kim and got NOTHING in return, zero, nada, rien, zilch.
International relations have nothing to do with real estate deals. He should go back to his Atlantic City casinos if there is anything left of them.
BS! No one can say this BS with any certainty. It's a European problem; not our problem in the USA. We need to close our borders....before we even think of helping Ukraine.
Can UK double, triple, quadruple what we give Ukraine? As a Brit, I’d vote for that in a heartbeat.🇬🇧
cant afford it - its a continental land battle of attrition - no one in Europe has the stomach for it for good reason
No Western country except for the US has the spare hardware to give. All countries must first rebuild the factories, to produce enough. Meanwhile russia has their soviet factories running 24/7.
Everyone in Easter Europe warned abut russia, but the West didn't listen. Russia never changes.
It’s time Europe started to wake up and take responsibility for their own defence. The EU leaders are living in a fantasy world of net zero and unlimited immigration.
Russian Interests... Some of his comments are extensions of Russian Propaganda. NATO will not collapse without the U.S. However, NATO members will need to deeply commit to their Defensive/Offensive Agreements, Requirements, & so forth.
How can you possibly accuse this man of pushing Russian propaganda? He is merely voicing his opinions on what might happen to NATO, without the US being a member and I for one believe Prof Clarke.
@@keithlillis7962 Accuse? What's the point of a comment if it isn't my own opinion. I understand where you're coming from but go for a walk or something. You're tense...
@@johnmahoney9354 "Some of his comments are extensions of Russian Propaganda", seems like an accusation to me.
He didn't say it would collapse just that it would be divided, with countries that will want to support Ukraine and countries that want to give up. What he says is also probably true, if you are pro-Ukraine and have platforms or American friends, you can do what you can to try to convince them why they should not vote for Trump.
@@tangfors Trump only cares about 'Trump' and that is stating the obvious. If Putin wins in Ukraine it will be the West's fault. So much for democracy nations!
Maybe the EU can defend its self instead of forcing our sons and daughters to come defend you like in WWII. My god.
Professor Michael Clarke is the best, thank you.
If trump get elected it end of nato..... Well eu have got away with free USA military protection for 60 years but the free ride is come to an end.
This Clarke guy is told what to say
No worries. Trump will be Rikers Island's star attraction by then
As much as I'd like this to be true, I doubt he will face any kind of justice for his man, many crimes. Sad, but true.
You better hope his your next president sweetheart...or you will soon be living in a country resembling Gaza....
@@fcarstens6161 ...ok comrade...
In a way, it will happen, or at least that the Europeans will get more weight, after all, in principle, everyone has increased their military budgets, as well as two new European countries joining NATO. Granted, it will still not measure up to the US, but will be a stronger part of NATO than they have been.
@@TheRealAbrahamLincoln Unfortunately, the thing is that it is probably only one of the remaining trials that will be done before the election. So I think it depends on whether he gets elected or not.
Thanks God Trump will put a stop to NATO. Peace to the world. No NATO No wars
Well, that was sobering if not unsurprising.
NATO is all talk and no action.WAKE UP NATO
Hopefully, Trump will shortly be in prison.

Hasn´t even been charged of anything
An excellent analysis of the gravity of the position in Ukraine and likely consequences for NATO if Trumps wins the election to avoid going to jail.
Yes. But there was no mention of one crucial point. Ukraine is running out of fighting men. What's the answer. ?
Why does everyone think that Trump will be elected?
Because he has big following unfortunately and is dangerous to NATO and will give Putin the green light to move onto the next country.
Because what country wants to be run by an 80 something YO fuzzy man?
I do wonder if Canada with go with the US or with Europe. If with Europe, how is the US going to feel about that.
dont care - ex Canuck here - Canada has no military - its smaller and less capable then the NYC PD
makes no difference since Canada´s military is virtually nothing anyways
Economically, I think Canada will stay with NAFTA. Separately, Canada and US have treaties that don't include Europe. Still, Canada could remain a part of NATO
Currently, Canada is the biggest freeloader in NATO. There is no political will in Canada to change that. Given the reality that Russia can't attack Canada without going through the USA my guess is Trump would try to force Canada to increase its military spending through trade sanctions.
US is becoming more latin oriented - Canada is a minor nation in US view - Canada defense is secured due to its location by the US military without Canada's input or permission
Yet Trump was mocked for urging Europe to bring it's defence expenditure to a level tgst would sustsain NATO's effectiveness and future.
The person interviewed seemed to suggest Austria is in NATO. While it did join something called the Partnership for Peace it is not in NATO. He also implied it and other countries could be bought off with Russian energy deals. A quick check of pipeline maps would show that most pipelines from Russia are either via Scandinavia, Baltic into Germany, Poland or Ukraine. Piping into Austria or Hungary might need to go via Turkey and the Mediterranean. May be much easier said than done.
The sad thing is that i get the impression you hope that Trump fragments NATO rather than just imforming us it is likely to happen.
England are pirates
Scary times
France and Germany will have to accept that their constant EU empire expansion eastwards has come to an end.
Prof Michael Clarke is an intelligent and highly knowledgeable guest I could listen to for hours. 👏🏻👏🏻
All the member states needs to pay their fair share that's the issue not Donald Trump
This guy is the best commentator by a country mile , he has been since day one , well done Mr Clarke , one smart scouser .
Good down in sky news to a year ago and see how wrong he is
NATO will end up fighting among themselves
Always nice to have Prof Clarke as a guest
If the freeloaders want to abandon NATO, as they have abandoned their required bare minimum responsibilities to the alliance, let them go it alone.
When Russia doesn't even engage in conflict against those sheep who separate themselves from the flock, it will make the experts look even less informed and bound to reality.
Trump is saying what he is saying to GET THEIR ATTENTION! This is a tactic of his that is half-serious. People don't know whether to take him serious or not; but it got the attention it was intended to have.
Absolutely!
You can't play childish games with the lives of millions at risk.
Don't vote for a child.
He's a full grown toddler that the EU leaders had to babysit the last time he was in power. Laughing stock like Jeltsin
but now we no longer know if the US is a reliable ally. So we have to assume they're not and act accordingly.
The silly one lost US hegemony in an afternoon. Even if Biden wins the stone has started to roll...
The U.S. Speaker of the House won’t allow a vote on Ukrainian military assistance to come to a vote. 🤦🏼♂️
It would be wonderful if Japan was as helpful as you suggest, but it would be so embarrassing for the rest of us. We should step up NOW !
Oh God, please resuscitate Reagan to bring law and order to international relations. 🙏
You are so wrong about Trump.
Why you don't mention that Trump worned Europe about Russia?
Why you don't mention that Trump demanded that NATO increase spending on defense ?
Why you don't mention that Trump stated if NATO members don't won't to defend themselves and increase defense spending Why USA soldiers and USA taxpayers should pay and defend them ??

the will of the American people is to support Ukraine.. for the most part. Unfortunately, there is a not insignificant % of Americans influenced by Russian/Republican propaganda.
If Trump is elected, USA will refuse to support Europe. When Putin does for Ukraine and keeps going, we are on our own.
I said WHEN because Putin fully intends to rebuild the Warsaw pact.

Democracy in the US can't be overturned. Remember, Trump is saying he will go after the opposition, the way they came after him since 2016, and his election into office, ahead of Hilary Clinton. They claimed he stole the election back then, time and time again.
Trump is determined this time to return that action back to the perpetrators that have acted against him.
It's called Karma, in case you have been asleep.

Trump must not win… we need to keep Trump out of office for America and the world. Great commentary here.
What a grim precision by a person I so much admire. Which makes me even sadder
The EU needs to carry more of its own water on defense regardless of the U.S.
Trump's reelection? He doesn't stand a chance.
The nature of democracy is that we don't know the outcome before the election. Stats show that he does stand a chance.
You are correct. Trump will lose the election on November 5th. That's if he isn't serving a prison sentence before then.
Keep dreaming!
I hope so. There are many delusional people here that support Putin and Trump.
How times have changed. Only last year this guy was “propagandising” how wonderful Ukraine was doing and how it was winning the war. Now we’re speculating an agreement to give Russia what it wants to avoid a full scale take-over of Ukraine.
