This is a man who has no idea what he's talking about, & no understanding of his interlocutor's motivation, about to sell out Ukraine to Putin, who knows exactly how to manipulate Trump. Europe cannot let this stand, if it wants to save itself as well as Ukraine.

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.
