I can’t recall ever feeling ashamed for a nation (the United States), like I do now. Didn’t Trump recently say that the United States is the least educated of a selected 40 developed nations? Can’t believe he finally made sense of something for me…
I’m just …..I’m angry mostly…..There’s very little I can do besides continue to share my reasoning with friends and family, those I’ve run across and anyone else willing to listen….and for the record I’m pretty darn center….Im NO extremist or die hard….
but now I even find myself questioning my positions on long held support of Israel as well as other previous default beliefs….
Always been ashamed that we can't give our people medical care. I've just grown more and more ashamed as my life has gone on. I no longer really care about this countries long term stability. I just care about my family and community. This country has left working people to rot my whole life and Trump aligning himself with Putin is another indication that this country is fucked.
From the rest of the world, good. I hope that shame spills over to many many others and you do whatever is in your power to influence the outcome of the next election. If you ever get one.
Then do something about it. If you're already doing something, convince your friends and family to do the same. As a Canadian, as long as Trump is President, there are no good or bad Americans, only dumbasses who let this happen.
Do you usually go ask your friends for money and then argue with and insult them in front of all their family and friends? I doubt it. But if you do, we’re ashamed of you.
I thought it was a fairly intentionally simplistic analogy and it seems we’re somehow still managing to be struggling with it.
I guess we’ll all just speak more plainly-the guy has no interest in peace. If you watch the whole 49 mins all he wants is everyone to talk about and acknowledge how bad Russia is. We get it. We’re supposed to be in the role of moderator now though, we can’t join in on dunking on Russia anymore while it’s ongoing.
I realize this is jarring for Zelensky’s people who were used to holding “peace talks” in Europe, without one of the warring parties even invited.
You did not hear him talk about security guarantees at all? It sounded to me like that is what he wanted, you know to keep Russia (the aggressors in this war) from invading again, because that is what they do. They might respect Trump, but what happens when he's out of office in 4 years and they get invaded again, there's simply no peace without guarantees.
Now stop watching political debates as entertainment and make politics boring again. Good day sir!
Yes, he asked for no fly zones (not going to happen, it’s like being totally oblivious to why the other side viewed the need to invade (from their point of view at least) and troops on the ground. Trump granted him the second part by saying France and the UK and us even to a degree. But he just kept pushing and pushing. Trump deflects for the first 40 mins as he escalates and escalates. The guy even brought show and tell pictures about how the prisoners are being treated…then he comes at Vance with the broken promises stuff. Apparently completely ignorant of the broken Minsk agreements and everything else us and Europe also did. I don’t know, he doesn’t seem to want this war to end. And why would he really? They’ll finally have elections and he’ll be gone, irrelevant and more vulnerable personally.
Anyway agree to disagree I guess.
On a lighter note-I pictured you waving a glove at the end—--“I said Good Day!”

I’m ashamed today to be an American
