Let us be sure we don’t pussyfoot around the obvious … which is that our political world has gone stark-raving mad.
How can I make such a claim? I have a friend in Germany, a journalist and a student of American politics. He usually is spot on with his understanding of U.S. political trends, as he said they occasionally mirror developing trends in Germany.
My friend wrote me a note that led with this: “I don’t understrand what is happening to your country.”
The major concern for my friend is the U.S.’s new found friendship with an assassin, a killer, a dictator and a highly aggressive head of state, Vladimir Putin.
Putin invaded Ukraine three years ago in a bold-faced territory grab from a sovereign nation. Ukraine also is an ally of the United States. President Biden immediately went to NATO officials to enlist their support for our financial and materiel aid to Ukraine. He got it.
Now, Biden is retired. He’s gone back to Delaware and is playing with his grandkids. Meanwhile, the nimrod who succeeded him has cozied up to Putin, seeking to broker a cease fire. Donald Trump hasn’t made a single demand of Russia other than for the troops to stop firing at Ukrainians.
Therefore, my friend in the beautifiul Bavaria region of Germany is as confused as many of us are about what has become of this nation.
For the first time in U.S. history, we have turned our backs on a dependable ally — Ukraine — in favor of an aggressor state while the two countries are in the middle of a bloody ground war!
Therein lies my friend’s confusion. He doesn’t understand this country. Nor do I.
You don’t understand because you don’t pay attention. He has to talk with both sides. That how negotiations work. All you do is hear the name Trump and instantly write a negative. You mirror the incompetence of the current Democratic Party. All they can do is attack Trump and never give solutions for anything. No wonder the approval rating for the democrats is at 29%. A party depending gang bangers, inciting the terroristic attacks on Tesla dealerships, and turning a blind eye to the waste, fraud or corruption of government spending. All the while, prices trending down, the border is the safest it’s been in probably decades, people are feeling safer across the country due to this administration. Sure, there are hiccups as, there always are.
But, you just keep on fear mongering along with the rest of the democrats.
