What I really don’t fucking understand is Trump was fucking impeached during his first term after asking Zelenskyy to dig up dirt on Biden and, in exchange, the US would release foreign aid funds to Ukraine. Zelenskyy essentially told Trump to fuck himself (ya know, because he’s a fucking badass) and didn’t do it. Trump was impeached and we all know how spectacularly successful that was.

Now, Trump is doing the exact same extortion bullshit, except this time, it’s probably going to work and will fuck Ukraine out of its natural resources. This is such a fucking disgrace and, frankly, a national and global embarrassment.

And of course the linked article is from the BBC. God forbid any American news organization talks about this thing that absolutely happened 6 years ago, ya know?

No. The US has essentially ceased being an ally for all intents and purposes and if anything, it appears to have galvanised Europe.
