America’s strategic diplomatic surrender. | Strategic surrender has always been a policy adopted by states facing total defeat and occupation. Since America is vastly superior to Russia, and faces no such danger, its decision to do so is puzzling.

  1. It is only puzzling if you don’t know DJT and his loyalties.

  3. Not puzzling if it’s a coup. The American system has failed to respond. Apparently their military couldn’t give a fuck either. Unbelievable.

  4. its not that puzzling considering how badly its foreign intervention went the last few decades. you can say this time around its different but that history gave America PTSD.

    Also according to polls, Ukraine aid approval across Europe has also fallen too so its not just the US.

  5. They are going back to Edwardian times. 1909. Gilded Age.

  6. It’s not puzzling. Just weak and irresponsible

  8. Full on American psychiatric collapse. Total loss of morale.

  9. It’s not surrender and capitulation, it’s purchase and accession.

    Donald Trump is just such a poor businessman, he sold the whole damn country out for pennies on the dollar.

  10. Simple. We have an insurgent administration that is no longer aligned with American interests and is no longer acting in them. It’s like one of those ant hills where a termite parasite comes in and impersonates the queen and ends up taking over the whole colony to produce more termite parasites. Donald Trump has no love for America, he only has love for Team Epstein Island.

  11. Far Right politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are compromised by Russian Propaganda. Amerika Oblast and Magyar Oblasts lead the way … what country will be next?

  12. It’s not puzzling once you understand Trump’s ass is owned by Putin. Trump is russian asset “Krasnov”. 

    It is puzzling how the entire Republican party has become completely spineless.

  13. This is not so difficult, Trump wife is Eastern European. His personal relationship have a close tie with Russia. This is basic and thinking with Trump.. He is unable to see why past Republicans see Russia as a threat and MAGA are like lap dogs.

  14. There is no grand strategy because this administration explicitly didn’t want subject matter experts who might give a different POV to what Trump wants.

  15. It can’t be simply the decision of one man, can it? 

  17. Trump is a Russian Asset and a Robber Baron. They are only interested in pleasing Putin and getting as much loot from the US Economy as possible. Hence their mass deregulation, and also their talk about visiting Fort Knox to see the gold (interpret loot).

  19. Trump does not care about America. If he cared about America, even with his scumbag blackmail he wouldn’t be supporting Russia like this, because Russia is so weak. Trump supports Russia because he cares only about himself, and his own self alone.

    This is actually strange. Is there a sex tape? Probably, but is it really worth potentially millions of deaths, a torn country and a depression that could drag both rich and poor alike down? If Media Mogul Musk is really on his side and he’s now the President of the USA and he’s literally escaped impeachment already, Hell, his name’s been redacted off the Epstiein files even though we ALREADY KNOW. Why is he so afraid of a mere video tape? Is pissing on some hooker such a big deal?

    Yes it is, but I maintain my point. He’s hardly the first politician who would be shamed over sexual activities with children, or goats.

    Maybe it is even worse than a sex tape. Worse, perhaps, than we could ever imagine.

    Or maybe it’s just that sociopaths like Putin and Trump don’t care about other humans.
