Infamous ‘Chicken Kyiv Speech’ by George H. W. Bush in Ukrainian Parliament in 1991 >
Several most popular comments on social media to Trump’s remarks in the Oval Office yesterday:
United States assistant attorney general for President Ronald Reagan from 1985 to 1989 John Bolton: “This is a palpable harm to American national security, because what Hegseth and Trump did today was not only blow up the NATO position on Ukraine, they blew up a thing called the Belovezha Accords… So it means that not only is unprovoked aggression by Russia against Ukraine now okay, every other former Republic in the Soviet Union is vulnerable to the same thing without any indication that the U.S. will do anything about it.”
Former UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace for The Telegraph: “Munich’s motto is ‘peace through dialogue’, but it has proven itself in recent years to also be a forceful bastion of European resistance against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. What a shame, then, that this year’s gathering seems set to mirror the disastrous conference of 1938 where the continent stood blind in the face of Hitler’s duplicity. The stench of appeasement is once again returning to Munich. After Chamberlain returned to Britain in 1938 having signed an agreement with Adolf Hitler, he proclaimed ‘peace for our time’. Winston Churchill then rebutted that ‘you were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour and you will have war’. The same fate awaits the West, whether in the Taiwan strait, Iran, or elsewhere in Europe, if it fails to stand strong now. And like 87 years ago, it will have its roots in Munich.”
Former NATO Secretary General Rasmussen in his article World’s Policeman Goes Rogue in Washington Post: “I never imagined I would hear a U.S. president declare his intentions to “expand our territory,” as Donald Trump did in his inaugural address. He continues to suggest that Canada should become the 51st state, and he has refused to rule out military force to secure America’s control of the Panama Canal and the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland.”
In the UK Ministry of Defence there was disbelief, – The Times: “Some of us were like, the Ukrainians haven’t fought for three years, lost their sons and daughters, only to be cut out of discussions on their future,” said one defence source. “I mean, if I was them I would give Trump the same message as those on Snake Island.” – “go f*** yourself”
Social Media:
“Just imagine – you’re f..g trying to defend YOUR LAND because some retarded nation with an imperialist syndrome decided to invade your country. And then you hear: “I said that was not a good war to go into.”
“For 11 years the only fighting defender of Western civilization has been Ukraine. Today, Trump made it official. The United States is joining the Axis of Nihilism (Russia, North Korea, Iran and China) and NATO is a walking corpse.”
“The Trump camp had been claiming that the US had spent $200 billion in assistance to Ukraine. Yesterday Trump exaggerated the number again to an invented $300 billion. The actual figure is $71.4 billion AND European allies ARE pulling their weight, despite lies to the contrary.”
“Roosevelt didn’t invite Hitler to Washington in 1940 or praise him as a “great statesman” or grant him half of Europe because “Germans fought for that land”.
“Why is US even in Munich? Trump has humiliated all Americans, severed the most important defense alliances and dares to show up, demanding money from Ukraine?”
“Trump negotiated a deal with the Taliban over Afghanistan without the Afghan government being involved. He set a timetable for our troops to be out of the country and arranged for the release of 5,000 Taliban fighters. Soldiers of the Afghan army began walking away from their posts almost immediately to avoid retribution from the Taliban on them or their families. To no one’s surprise, it contributed to the sudden collapse of the Afghan military and the messy U.S. withdrawal. Any meeting between Putin and Trump without leadership from Ukraine will not bode well for Ukraine.”
“Surely, until recently, the symbol of the USA was Eagle (and rightfully so). These days, it looks more like it gets substituted by Chicken.”
What’s wrong with Trump’s demand for Ukraine’s rare earth >
“Putin killed. Babies. Journalists. Soldiers. Families. Women. Grandmothers. Leaders. Activists. And he invited him to our White House. Oh, my God,” — American journalist, writer, Forbes author Sophia Nelson about the conversation between Donald Trump and Putin.
