THE GREATEST AMERICAN BETRAYAL OF ITS ALLIES IN HISTORY.
While Russia continues its war against Ukraine, the Trump administration is reportedly negotiating sweeping energy and business deals with Moscow.
Russian oil, diesel, Nord Stream gas pipelines, American investments, access to Russian airspace, and even arrangements involving Ukraine’s occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant are reportedly on the table.
Let that sink in.
While Ukrainians fight and die defending their country, Washington is exploring opportunities to do business with the very country responsible for invading it.
President Zelenskyy has already warned that the United States is choosing the wrong side of history.
And he has every reason to be furious.
Europe and America’s traditional Western allies have every reason to be deeply alarmed. If these proposals become reality, the consequences for transatlantic trust, NATO unity, and America’s credibility could be enormous.
For decades, the United States presented itself as the leader of the free world, a defender of democracy, sovereignty, and international law.
Now, its administration appears increasingly willing to put business opportunities with Putin’s Russia ahead of the principles it once claimed to defend.
This is not just about Ukraine. It is about whether America’s allies can ever trust Washington again.
And the consequences of that betrayal could last for generations.

2015: Merkel and Hollande broker Minsk II with Putin.
2022: Putin tears it up and invades.
Every deal Europe brokered with Moscow became a pause before the next attack.

Eric and Don Jr travel the world, meet presidents, dodgy businessmen and beauty queens. Everywhere they are treated as representatives of the White House. This is how US foreign policy now works.

🚨🇺🇸 Have you noticed how often Donald Trump seems to trust Vladimir Putin more than America’s own intelligence community and NATO allies? I keep wondering why.
Maybe the question sounds unbelievable: is Trump a Russian asset? I avoided even asking it for a long time because I respect the choice of American voters. But right now, his alignment with Putin creates risks not only for Ukraine, but for NATO, Europe, and ultimately the United States itself.
🇺🇦 Ukraine is already feeling the consequences through problems with intelligence support and Starshield, while pressure on Russia has been weakened. Putin has always wanted a weaker, more divided West.
And then there is the history. Trump travelled to the Soviet Union in the 1980s, and soon afterward publicly criticized the cost of America defending its allies. Decades later, he still seems far more willing to trust Putin than many of those allies.
So maybe Ukraine is only one part of a much bigger test. We are the litmus test.
💙💛 Stay united and stay attentive. Our freedom, our countries, and our democratic institutions are worth defending.

🎯 Staying in power is the only thing a dictator who wants to stay in power can afford to think about. Every day.

🇦🇲🇪🇺Goodbye, Putin
Armenia has ruled out returning to Russia’s military alliance.
Armenia already enjoys tariff-free trade with the EU on around 80% of goods.
We need to apply the same strategy to other countries bordering Russia
Single market access in exchange for reducing their dependence on Moscow.
We must defeat Russia in Ukraine, crash its economy, and integrate its neighbours into Europe.
With or without the US, this must be Europe’s objective.

"Russian world." Moscow's name for the people it claims to protect.
Mariupol: largely Russian-speaking. Destroyed.
Kharkiv: largely Russian-speaking. Shelled for four years.
In Kremlin language, protecting Russian speakers means bombing them.

Thanks to his Supreme Court appointees, Trump breaks the law freely, but companies and private individuals should think twice before following his orders to do so themselves.

Wow! U.S. Senator @ElissaSlotkin just said that Trump "wants Putin to win" the war with Ukraine this winter:
"I think this president in the past two weeks has laid bare that he's had this longstanding bromance with Putin. I think in the last two weeks it's become very clear he wants Putin to win this war this winter. And he's taking steps to allow them to sell oil and give them money again, to disrupt Starlink, to show the Ukrainians where his hand actually lies. I think that's a huge strategic mistake for the United States."

The lesson of the russia-backed Trump regime to former U.S. allies is crystal clear: The United States abandoned Ukraine and we will abandon you too.

BUDANOV 🇺🇦 stated that negotiations between Ukraine and USA broke down, because “the American administration only thinks about making profits for themselves”.
Witkoff suggested #Ukraine to give up land - so USA could buy diesel from russia.
THIS IS NOT SERIOUS‼️

The Trump administration is considering dropping sanctions on the Russian Direct Investment Fund, run by Kirill Dmitriev. An unbelievable betrayal of Ukraine. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/us/po… via @NYTimes

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Trump has been played.
Lavrov says the war in Ukraine will continue and is likely to escalate.
Trump is the only person alive on Earth who believes there will be a deal.
Trump has lifted sanctions and cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine for nothing.
He has given Moscow billions and delayed defence shipments to Ukraine, all for absolutely nothing.
An unprecedented foreign policy disaster.

This is utterly disgraceful. The only comparator would be the US doing a deal with Nazi Germany in 1942 to exploit oil reserves in the Russian Caucasus. Surely some Americans, even among Republicans, must object to actively helping their country’s enemies?

🇺🇦 Trump will, dass Putin diesen Winter den Krieg gegen die Ukraine gewinnt, sagt die US-Senatorin Elissa Slotkin.
Die Demokratin aus Michigan, früher bei der CIA und im Pentagon, weist auch die Version zurück, Musk habe Starlink allein gedrosselt: „Ich glaube keine Sekunde, dass Elon Musk diese Entscheidung einfach selbst getroffen hat." In den vergangenen zwei Wochen habe Trump gezeigt, wie nah er Putin steht. Er unternehme Schritte, damit Russland wieder Öl verkaufen und Geld einnehmen kann, und er störe Starlink. Für die USA nennt sie das einen riesigen strategischen Fehler.
Die Schritte selbst sind belegt. Im September unterschrieb Trump ein umfassendes Russland-Sanktionsgesetz. Am 9. Oktober lockerte sein Finanzministerium die Diesel-Sanktionen für sechs Monate, die erste so lange Lizenz seit Kriegsbeginn. Vom 14. Oktober bis zum Samstag war Starlink für die Ukraine gedrosselt. Laut Wall Street Journal hat Musk das selbst angeordnet. Eine Person aus dem Umfeld sagt, er habe vorher mit mehreren hochrangigen Regierungsvertretern gesprochen, auch mit Trump. Andere US-Beamte sagen, er habe allein gehandelt.
Für die Menschen in der Ukraine geht es um den Winter. Selenskyj hatte Trump am 28. Juli gebeten, mit Musk über Starlink zu sprechen, damit sich die Startplätze der ballistischen Raketen treffen lassen, mit denen Russland das ukrainische Stromnetz angreift (laut The Atlantic). Über Russland wurde Starlink nicht freigeschaltet. In der Ukraine wurde es gedrosselt.

Traitor Trump considers lifting sanctions on Russian investment fund – the "wallet" of terrorist and war criminal Putin, - NYT.

“We now live in a world where the President of the United States is not only willing but eager to negotiate with a war criminal Vladimir Putin. He doesn’t do this out of strategic necessity, but because he possesses the mind of a child who is easily manipulated, easily flattered, and dangerously blind to the consequences of his own vanity. Putin understands this all too well. The Russians and the FSB could fill book on how to twist and bend Trump and America to their will, feeding his insatiable narcissism with little more than a few well placed words.”
“This is the grim reality we face, a President who would sacrifice Europe, not for peace, not for diplomacy, but for the illusion of his own strength. He does not seek justice, but the appearance of it, playing the role of a dealmaker while in truth pandering and submitting to a war criminal who has slaughtered thousands, orchestrated atrocities, and drawn the unmitigated condemnation of the international community.”
“In less than a decade, Donald Trump has pushed America further from its allies than at any point in the past 80 years. He has trampled on the very principles that once defined the nation, dismantling alliances, sowing distrust, and degrading the global standing of the United States with reckless abandon.”
“Now, he is sending a message to every dictator, every autocrat, and every warmonger across the world that sovereignty is negotiable, that invasions can be legitimised, that war crimes can be excused if you simply know how to stroke the ego of this narcissist.”
“This is not strength. This is not strategy. This is idiocy on a biblical scale.”
