The current political climate reveals a shocking betrayal, as the U.S. president appears to be aiding a fascistic dictator by promoting a peace deal that rewards aggression. This proposed deal would require Ukraine to concede significant territory and limit its alliances, effectively capitulating to Russia’s demands. These proposals are dangerous, as they would embolden Russia. If this plan moves forward and support for Ukraine is terminated, Europe will need to decide if they want to support appeasement or take responsibility for defending their continent. This will prove challenging, but is not impossible.

“I’m Not Here to Negotiate for Ukraine.” Well, that certainly sets the stage, doesn’t it? It’s a bold statement, a declaration that cuts straight to the core of the matter. What, then, is the purpose of this meeting, if not to advocate for the interests of Ukraine? Some have suggested that the meeting’s purpose might be an admission in itself, a clear indicator of where his loyalties truly lie. This isn’t about finding common ground or brokering peace; it’s about something else entirely.
The implication is that the idea of Ukraine being a true ally to the U.S. is, at best, a distant memory.… Continue reading
Masked ICE agents detaining a former Afghan interpreter who assisted the U.S. military – that’s the core of this whole messy situation, and it’s honestly infuriating. The fact that this individual, who legally immigrated and was in the process of getting a green card, was arrested during an appointment related to a program specifically designed to protect people who worked for U.S. forces… it’s a betrayal, plain and simple. It sends a chilling message to anyone considering helping the U.S. military in the future. Why would they? Why risk their lives and their futures if they know the U.S. might just turn around and throw them to the wolves?… Continue reading
Canadian veterans express dismay and betrayal at the Trump administration’s treatment of allies like Canada and Ukraine, particularly given the shared sacrifices in Afghanistan. This sentiment stems from the perception that Canadian soldiers fought and died to defend the U.S. after 9/11, a notion deepened by Trump’s threats and bullying tactics. While acknowledging the distinction between the U.S. military and its president, veterans highlight the strong bonds forged during their shared combat experiences. Retired military officials emphasize that the anger is directed at the administration, not the U.S. military, and that the threat of annexation, while upsetting, is considered unlikely.

A pattern of U.S. administrations abandoning allies, evident in past conflicts involving the Kurds, Syrians, and Afghans, is now repeating with Ukraine. This abandonment, while subtle to some Americans, is profoundly felt by those who served alongside Ukrainian forces and witnessed firsthand their bravery and commitment. The current shift toward neutrality, or worse, complicity in Ukraine’s potential demise, is causing deep distress among former U.S. intelligence officers and national security personnel. This betrayal, perceived as an epic failure with far-reaching consequences, severely damages U.S. credibility and trust among allies, emboldening adversaries like Russia and jeopardizing future alliances. The long-term impact could prove even more devastating than previous instances of U.S. withdrawal.

The feeling of betrayal runs deep, fueled by a sense that unwavering support is no longer guaranteed. This isn’t simply a matter of political disagreement; it’s a crisis of trust that casts a long shadow over the future of their nation and the broader international landscape.
