We (the UK and Europe) can no longer assume USA is our friend. Even when Trump is gone, close to half of the USA backed him.

A unified European force - call it a European army if you like - is the only viable future if we want to avoid being picked off by hostile giants to the East or West.

Trump says Zelenskyy is a dictator and his election was rigged.

Zelenskyy was democratically elected with 77% of the vote, and independent international election observers found the election fair, competitive and free.

Trump says Ukraine is responsible for the war: "You should have ended it three years. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal"

Russia started it by illegally invading Ukraine. 5 days before the invasion Zelenskyy offered talks. Putin refused.
