Trump is Siding with Murderers to Promote a Fake Peace in Failing Negotiations. - Silicon Curtain



Edition No129 | 16-04-2025 - From an outsider’s perspective, the US seems to have declared war on its own values; the president ignores the Supreme Court, threatening rule of law and division of powers. The executive mounts daily assaults on the concepts of sovereignty and freedom, free speech and freedom of association. The very principles the Founding Fathers fought for are being betrayed, and the essential checks and balances against oligarchy and autocracy dissolved.

It's no wonder then, that the President and his officials seem bemused, irritated and outraged that Ukraine would seek to defend those values against an imperial neighbor intent on crush them. In that vein, Pentagon officials have apparently questioned an ally about their unwavering continuation of arms supplies to Ukraine. They seem beyond asking ‘why protect freedom’ but have entered the realm of not understanding what freedom even is.
