Senator Claude Malhuret’s speech is a brutal, unflinching assessment of Trump’s open betrayal of Ukraine and, by extension, of democracy itself. The world has always relied on America to uphold the post-war order, but now Trump is actively working to dismantle it. He is siding with Putin while mocking, humiliating, and abandoning U.S. allies.
For all the “America First” posturing, this is not strength. It is surrender. Trump has turned his back on NATO, empowered authoritarians, and made clear that loyalty to the U.S. means nothing under his rule. Instead of supporting Ukraine’s fight against tyranny, he is doing Putin’s bidding, sending the world a message: America is no longer a defender of freedom. It is now a tool for dictatorship and chaos.
The fallout will be global and catastrophic. Europe must now prepare to defend itself without American leadership because Trump has not only abdicated his responsibilities. He has actively joined the enemy. Malhuret is right. The defenders of democracy must rise again or we will watch the world order collapse under the weight of Trump’s treachery.
Beautifully spoken. I hope to see all that he suggests come to pass. It pains me to see the US no longer being the leader of the free world, but not because of some silly title. Because we have so much in the way of wealth and power as a nation, and it is being squandered so a few people, already wealthy beyond need, can get even more wealthy.
Yup just to stay out of Prison. Maybe he could be if he was a prisoner let out to pick vegetables for the rest of us since there’s no labor to pick them.
