If Mexico invaded the US and we fought for 3 years to hang on, and then Canada said, "let's have peace" and decided they should negotiate for us, and we couldn't be at the table, how would we feel? Trump is an embarrassment and a danger to peace all over the world. I am ashamed to call him our president.

Excellent summary and analysis of this tragic story, Andre. Thank you for writing it. Like everything else happening now, this is frightening and frustrating beyond imagining.

The President's current demands are just plain extortion. He attaches no value on the blood and suffering they have suffered defending western democracy. He is crass beyond belief.

It’s going to be up to us to stop this. Tall order. Has to be done.

Trump is over extending now whatever direction he goes. What's tragic is how this is a wannabe dictator wanting to be a strongman "like Putin". This is becoming the start of 4, long, hard years. USAID aid has stopped and the innocent suffer because of this orange sadist.

My cousin, a mid-west journalist, has lived in Ukraine more than 20 years. In a text exchange a couple days ago he said of Trump “He’s worse than last time.”

You said it all! What to do? WA congressional reps know right from wrong. What members of congress would be influenced by communications stating the real situations.
