He said that Ukraine will not “survive as a state” in the future, and Moscow considers the reunification of Ukraine with Russia a strategic goal. Trump clearly doesn’t care. The administration is pushing to strip language from an annual U. N. General Assembly Human Rights Committee resolution that recognizes Ukraine’s territorial integrity and rights as a sovereign nation. The U. S. delegation will vote against anything that condemns Putin. Trump has made clear he believes Putin bears no blame for invading Ukraine (it’s all Zelenskyy’s fault or even Joe Biden’s). He has crossed over totally to the Russian dictator’s camp. Unless he wakes up from his Putin-induced trance, he is incapable of making peace. Courage, senators? Although things look bleak for Ukraine, I believe its fighters will manage to hold back the Russians this winter, but at a brutal cost to civilians’ and soldiers’ lives. Trump will bear much blame for the suffering to come. But after the Epstein-induced awakening of GOP members of Congress, I hope some Republican senators will find the courage to denounce Trump’s attempt to hand over Ukraine to Russia. They should recognize that the retort of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R.-Ga., after Trump called her a traitor also applies to his position on Ukraine. “Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American (who) serves foreign countries and themselves,” Greene said. With his heedless pursuit of Putin and a peace prize, Trump is serving the Kremlin, in service to his ego, as he attempts to sacrifice Ukraine.
