Please read this speech by a French senator who tells harsh truths about the Trump regime and Russia, and challenges Europe to stand up for what is needed. Then, please ask your members of Congress to read it, too. https://thebulletin.org/2025/03/for-this-french-senator-trump-is-a-traitor-and-europe-is-now-alone/amp/
For this French senator, Trump is a traitor—and Europe is now alone

In one month, Trump has done more harm to the Atlantic alliance than in four years of his last presidency. Europeans now see him as a traitor.

@dangillmor This brings clarity to the significance of the Putin Trump alliance and a clear path to how the world must respond if world #peace is to be saved. #uspoli #trump #ukraine

@dangillmor I believe that is a wise decision from Europe. Trump is a traitor to everyone except Russia. Trump doesn't have anyone's back, but his own.

@dangillmor I agree with Senator Malhuret's analysis. These dictatorships and democracy are not agreeable to one another. Being more prepared to use #nuclearweapons though is not the answer. More emphasis needs to be placed on #disarmament and defence. Unfortunately this position is no longer as fully supported by the most powerful nations. Peace and security hang in the balance.
