I’m not from the U.S. Still, I’m familiar with most of this. Nevertheless, Trump reportedly wanted to slash aid to Ukraine drastically at the start of his second term.
But yes, I completely agree with you. I’ve never been able to understand why so many U.S. citizens are always looking for some kind of foreign “agent” to explain the crimes of their own government. You hear time and again that Trump is a puppet of either Russia or Israel or whomever.
I do consider him a puppet as well, but one who essentially acts on behalf of U.S. billionaires, while shamelessly enriching himself while doing so.
I think the most important thing would be for U.S. citizens to finally realize that their worst enemies are their own so-called elite.
