Simon Tisdall: Trump has 'sold out' Ukraine in appeasement of PutinTisdall outlines Trump's alleged Ukraine betrayal
2 Oct 22 · 17d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 2
Tisdall catalogs specific Trump actions as evidence of betrayal: buying Russian diesel, waiving tougher sanctions, interrupting US satellite and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, and attempting to oust President Zelenskyy. He characterizes these moves as driven by personal dislike of Zelenskyy, financial motives to normalize relations with Russia for energy and Arctic deals, and an unexplained hold Putin appears to have over Trump.
“Recent steps – his shocking decision to fund Putin's war machine by buying Russian diesel, his waiving of tougher sanctions, his mysterious, lethal interruptions in US satellite and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, and his renewed attempt to oust Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy – mark Trump out as the skulking Judas”

And another. Trump isn’t just betraying Ukraine to the Kremlin, he’s selling out America too.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Thank you Simon Tiddall @theguardian.com 👏 I agree with every word you’ve written. The consequences of not standing up to this monstrous president are far reaching/hugely consequential. (I wonder regularly what Putin “has” on Trump - it must be monumental)

but later he lamented that it bought them 1 year of preparation Then he is an idiot that doesn't understand anything. He is just later complaining about something that in reality he wouldn't have liked. Grass is always greener, but he is just wrong. He was however fully committed to fighting France&GB if they intervened, just like in case of…

Tbf Daladier wanted to fight, but the public probably didnt want to. The whole Munich conference happened because Daladier was willing to fight germans to protect czechoslovakia, even though they werent ready to. He hated appeasement and disliked Chamberlain for it. When people celebrated his return to Paris he thought they were all idiots and…

At least Chamberlin was trying to do the right thing at the time. Donald just wants to announce the war is over so he can take credit for it. Nothing else matters to him. Ukraine fighting for its country is just an inconvenient obstacle for him.

— ‘Trump’s perfidy is the shame of the world, and it is the world – and not only Ukraine – that will pay the price over the longer term. This calculated attempt to force Kyiv’s submission imperils everyone. Ukraine, if it is allowed to fall, will haunt Europe and the wider geopolitical biosphere for decades, as was the case with Czechoslovakia…

It was still just stupid to give up Czechia for free, so much industry and arms for free for Hitler. If the goal was to improve allied position then it failed miserably.

"Anyone committed to Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty must be committed to stopping Trump. And professed Ukraine supporters who have acted as his enablers could start by admitting that they were wrong instead of lecturing Zelensky on manners."

Everyone likes to mention Chamberlain but not how everyone responsible fumbled earlier the fact the Germany was militarizing over allowed limit.
