Weakest president in a century capitulates to America’s old foe

The mask is well and truly off. Any who thought President Donald Trump could be flattered and cajoled into supporting Ukraine or defending democracy and the rule of law must now accept that they were guilty of wishful thinking, or perhaps we could call it willful blindness. The “peace plan” he has presented to Ukraine proposes a shameful capitulation to the war criminals and brutal invaders of Russia.

Meanwhile, Trump this week called for the execution, yes execution, of six Democrat lawmakers for the “crime” of publishing a video stating the truth that US military personnel are not obliged to obey illegal orders. And in the heart of the White House he publicly belittled the murder and dismemberment in 2018 of a Saudi Arabian journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by agents of the Saudi government, simply to curry favor with the man on whose behalf that murder was committed, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who was by his side in the Oval Office.
