They shouldn't. But you need to remember Trump is a Putin fanboy or Putin really has something on him.
 
Telling Zelenskyy to “stop” after another country bombs his capital is a new low for even Trump.

Actually, he’s already so low it’s just a continuation of trawling of the depths.

He doesn't because he has the firepower to ensure it doesn't get passed back. Ukraine doesn't and neither does Europe they rely on the US who no longer wants to pay the bill.

Perhaps it will. Hegseth certainly seems less than competent. Currently Trump is implementing what the US electorate voted for. I'm not seeing any massive policy difference than before the election. I must admit it is odd for a politician to try and implement their policies after winning no matter how bonkers/radical they are.

Practicalities of life I suppose. I don't like Putin but getting him to hand land back would be difficult. And the US no longer wants to pay (This was a key point in Trumps election campaign). Europe can however but can't get a united front and also doesn't have the infrastructure of their own choosing to do so. I would be happy to pay (by either cutting public services or increasing basic income tax but no borrowing) if European nations also contributed equally but unfortunately they won't.

Documentary with much previously unseen footage .
Would recommend it be shown to all over 18’s.
We should never forget nor allow such actions to be swept under the carpet , before any action is taken .
But, not sure it has direct relevance to the current games the USA is playing regarding the Russia/Uktaine war .

I thought that Trump would get this done in 24hrs. The Art of the Deal. This man can achieve anything.

But now it's all a bit too difficult.

Maybe he's not up to the job after all.
 
There is also little international consensus on isolating Russia. Many countries are simply circumventing sanctions https://www.investigate-europe.eu/p...sanctions-aircraft-parts-india-intermediaries . others are more blazen in their support (See china that you all wer so excited to see stand up to the US https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/04/24/beijing-fuelling-putin-war-kyiv-diplomacy/ )


Look at even this interesting article in Al Jazeera https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023...very-country-stands-on-the-russia-ukraine-war and consider the size of population that refused to endorse the US led position.

I say again Putin needs stopping from a European perspective that has always been my position. But don't believe India, Pakistan China or great chunks of Africa share the same concerns. They don't they are pragmatic and will do what's right for them. That makes it difficult to take back Ukrainian territory without a massive military spend from the West. which i'm not sure the population when either forced to put their hand in their pocket or accept poorer public services will be happy to pay. (Again I am i am on record of wanting 6% defence spending)

Again perhaps he isn't but like Keir he has a mandate now (and arguably a bigger one as he won a larger percentage of the vote and actually much larger as we vote for parties in general elections presidential elections are on the person) to try to get a deal that saves the US taxpayer money.

Maybe??
:ROFLMAO:
Don't worry, anyone who takes against Trump will surely be accused of Trump Derangement Syndrome. . . oh the irony!

AS for Trump delivering what the US voted for, I guess that's "Boris delivering the Brexit that people voted for" levels of delusion. And just in the same way, Trump will turn out to be a total clusterfuck . . .plenty of evidence to suggest that's exactly they way it's going already. He has no interest in saving the taxpayer money, or if he has, he does not have the first plausible clue as to how to make it happen, and using blunt 19th century economic instruments to try and force it whilst labouring under the misapprehension that the US are still the world rule makers, just underlines the point. But hey, as long as a few mates can get away with insider trading as a result and get rich in the process . .. who cares . . . right?

How many ways can we all acknowledge ( Apart from @West) that trump is a self interested economy crashing narcissist who cares about 3 things.
Himself
His ratings
Money

I’d be interested ( serious question) to ask any reform voters if they think Nigel Farage's reputation has been affected by his association with trump?

Reform could win most seats if election held now, poll suggests

The poll suggests Labour could lose nearly 250 MPs
www.mylondon.news www.mylondon.news

Strongly suggests not. Largest number of mps if vite held today.

The direct relevance to the current leadership in the USA comes at the end when the photographer relates his sudden realization that Nazis were not a German thing at a particular point in history but people who always live amongst us wherever and whenever we live.

Historically mid term the government is unpopular. It’s the tories that should be bricking themselves. They can’t go all trumpian because that would be suicidal, they can’t be reform lite because there isn’t a space they’ve lost the centre to both liberals and Labour.

I fear we may go reform next election but that does depend on what happens in the next four years.

Trouble is so is your leader. No way she makes it to an election, bizarre choice, haemorrhaging votes to Reform at the last election and straight after appointed someone so they didn’t appear racist to try and win votes from the Lib Dem’s voters they were never going to get, a party that seem to make decisions that are a couple of years out of date.

Hard to predict how the next election will go until we know who the Tory leader will be and whether can do deal with Reform though.

Only 10 months in…..

Labour not exactly making any inroads to making a difference and Conservatives completely anonymous.

You may well be right. Something drastic needs to happen to win over a completely frustrated and demoralised electorate.
