Oh give me a fucking break. Defending democracies? Since when has the US not been more likely to destroy democracies than protect them. US Ukraine policy has nothing to do with democracy.

Those nerves you need to stay calm debating with such a jerk...
From the article...
Previous American presidents have had plenty of tense exchanges with allies, but often in private and never like this.
What made this one different was not just that it unfolded with cameras rolling, but that it featured an American president siding with an autocratic and longtime adversary, Russia, against a nascent democracy that has struggled for years to break away from Moscow’s orbit and join the NATO alliance of Western democracies.
Its dangerous and we shouldn't allow this presidency to continue. Next thing we know we'll be crushing other democratic nations with the autocracies until the whole world is enslaved.
Isnt that the plan though? I think Trump is being pretty open about it.
No one loves democracy more than America! America would never overthrow a democratically elected government to protect the business interests of American corporations!
Nice fantasies you tell to yourselves.
