‘Shame on you,’ Polish prime minister tells US Republican senators after Ukraine bill blocked – Europe live
Donald Tusk says Reagan, ‘who helped millions of us to freedom, would be turning in his grave’ as bill on US-Mexico border and Ukraine aid blocked
It has become embarrassingly clear that US Republicans are not interested in honoring alliances, reassurances, and good relations.
The world best take note that dealings with the Republicans must be transactional. And until they have no reasonable chance of governing, so must any deal with the US be concluded within a 2 year frame. And any nation being cheated by a cancelled deal have only themselves to blame.
I agree with you except for this part:
And any nation being cheated by a cancelled deal have only themselves to blame.
It is still the US as a whole to blame. It is the US citizens who vote this party and it is the country that is failing its obligations.
If they are not interested, why should we be? Sever all ties... works fairly well with Russia, so why not the USA? Let them have their splendid isolation.

You do realize that rejecting both Russia and America would in fact make the EU more isolated than either Russia or America in this scenario?
The only reason there is enough stability for the EU to remain in solvency is because NATO basically covers its entire defense budget. Even with this shield against hard power the EU has still fallen prey to soft power attacks, being picked apart from the inside.
Imagine what would happen to the EU if the individual member states actually had to cover all their own military expenses, had to negotiate for fuel From neither Russia or the US. The austerity measures alone would break the EU apart.
No democratic institutions are fairing well. If there isn't some effort to all work together, everything going to unravel at the seams.
Nice to see we're dealing with the enigma machine codebreaker Poland again, and not the iron curtain, russian lapdog Poland
Generally, when one tastes of two fruit, they will continue to eat of the one they prefer.
Challenging Republican won't solve them bowing to Trump, but it's good to make them try to weasel out of explaining their obvious lack of consistency.
You can't shame people that have no shame.
Right? Who's gonna break it to the Polish PM?
Ugh, crediting Reagan with the liberation of the Eastern Bloc like that is hugely disrespectful to the people from those countries who put themselves on the line to fight for freedom - including Solidarność in Poland itself. Reagan didn't have that much to do with it, especially his 'famous' speech which didn't really have much of an impact at all at the time.
Joke's on him. Conservatives cannot experience shame. If they could, they would not be conservatives.
Oh noes, the terrorist state that's couping other nation's presidents to install dictators that'll happily sell our their county to US interests in exchange of power does terrorist state things. Who could've seen that coming! Surely not the world the last hundred years.
