Ukraine is the biggest and most consequential
Guardian 2/21/26
"As the war enters its fifth year,
it’s time for Europe
to take the fight to Putin
on its own terms
and tell Trump to get lost."
Gonna just try
and highlight
Mostly lol
what he says about
and what Trump
has done to others
TRY
lol.
"Viewed from Europe, the US’s failure to defend the people of Ukraine against Russian aggression is the greatest and most consequential of a host of recent American betrayals. It’s not just the sickening subservience shown to Vladimir Putin, an indicted war criminal and mass killer. It’s not only the victim-blaming and bullying of Kyiv into making concessions. It’s not even Donald Trump’s crass attempts to monetise the war and milk the misery of millions for Nobel glory, while undercutting Nato allies and trampling sovereign rights."
"As the full-scale war Putin launched in 2022 stumbles into its fifth bloody year this Tuesday, Europe, like Russia, is in deep trouble. Yet so too is the US,
though Trump and his mouthy muppets,
Marco Rubio and JD Vance, don’t realize it yet.
(I just about fell out lol.)
Most Europeans now regard their foremost partner as unreliable, even a foe. US global influence and leadership is fading fast, to gleeful China’s huge advantage."
(It's what people in the States just
absolutely refuse to accept.)
"Everywhere, autocrats rejoice,
as do Europe’s
advancing far-right parties."
“The question of how this war
is going to end
is actually
an existential question
for Europe,
~
Wolfgang Ischinger, chair of this month’s Munich Security Conference. “It will determine – in more ways than one – the future of this continent.”
"The US betrayal of Ukraine, foreshadowing its broader treachery, did not start with Trump. Bill Clinton’s post-independence 1994 security assurances for Kyiv proved meaningless. Barack Obama blinked when Putin seized Crimea in 2014. Joe Biden, haunted by cold war ghosts, reacted with fatal overcaution to the 2022 invasion."
(Great points.)
"What’s changed is that Trump’s betrayals are deliberate, and are happening now. Each dawn brings another day of infamy. Last year, Ukraine’s civilian casualties hit their highest annual level since the war began as Putin expanded a war that Trump pledged to end in 24 hours. Direct US weapons supplies have been cut to almost zero. Trump’s risible “peace process”, overseen by a business crony and his simpering son-in-law, indulges Putin’s maximalist demands while excluding Europe."
"Trump’s 28-point “peace plan” – a lopsided roadmap to Russian victory – was swiftly discredited. Yet he is still insisting Kyiv surrender sovereign territory, setting a catastrophic precedent, and withholding security guarantees. He still aims to make a quick buck out of Ukraine’s mineral resources and postwar deals with Russia. He still habitually bullies Ukraine’s admirable president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. And still he belittles European allies while courting Putin and authoritarians such as Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, Argentina’s Javier Milei and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
"For shameless treachery,
Trump has no modern equal.
Yet the belief is growing that it cannot and will not continue. How much longer can willing dupes such as the Nato chief, Mark Rutte, prate about vital transatlantic ties when Trump is daily dissolving them in acid and vitriol? How dare Rubio lecture Europeans on Christian civilisation while he and other New World barbarians wink at Israeli atrocities in Gaza? Now they plan to attack Iran, again, and maybe Cuba, too. By what right?"
"Trump’s perfidious tyranny,
equally toxic at home and abroad,
will only worsen the longer it’s tolerated."
Well...
Here is why all of that is:

Part 1 of 4.
"Innumerable multitudes without the light of divine revelation, and other multitudes possessing the Bible, but uninitiated into the truths of the "mystery of lawlessness" (II Thess. 2:7), cannot get beyond "flesh and blood" (Eph.6:12). They can see only the human actors upon the stage of history. Wicked rulers, ruthless dictators, tyrants, oppressors, kings, governors, and presidents are, to them, the real and only characters in the great drama of life as it affects the political realm. They have no idea at all of the unseen realm of evil personalities, energizing and motivating their human agents. "The principalities ... the powers ... the world rulers of this present darkness," and "the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12, R.S.V.) are, so far as they are concerned, mere theological nonentities with which they do not reckon. However, in the realm of human government the unseen personalities of the evil supernatural sphere are just as real and active as their visible human agents,
