Tag: Helsinki Summit

How did the great Superman that is the United States of America sleepwalk into this macabre reality show?

The ones suffering the most from the consequences of this Russian-American comedy of errors ... are European citizens.

The disgraceful Helsinki summit ... confirms the geopolitical turn the U.S. has taken. Trump first, America next, and to hell with the rest of the world.

[N]othing strengthens Putin like seeing a president of the United States weaken the Atlantic alliance.

The American side acceded to the Russian concept of “double truth,” avoided controversy, and thus did not negotiate anything substantive.

Their shared head-on approach disguised as frankness seems to have forged an interpersonal chemistry of immeasurable political consequences.

According to the collective judgement coming from the opposition as well as several Republicans, Trump has gone too far.

For many in the party, the president's friendly visit crossed a pain threshold; ever since the Cold War, mistrust of Moscow runs deep.

Even within his own circle of officials, his sellout was almost a sign of self-destruction.

A point on which the two leaders do agree is that a weakened European Union serves both their interests.
