As Ukraine enters the fourth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion, shifting political dynamics in the U.S. threaten to influence the course of the war. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly misrepresented the war’s origins, excluded Ukraine from initial negotiations, and advocated for what many see as an exploitative deal that would force Ukraine to surrender national resources as “repayment” for U.S. aid.
Trump’s rhetoric raises urgent questions about America’s long-term commitment to aiding Ukraine.
In an interview with the Kyiv Independent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders shares his concerns about Trump’s growing alignment with Russia and other authoritarian regimes, what a possible U.S.-Russia alliance would mean for the American people, the role of billionaires like Elon Musk in shaping both domestic and international political discourse, and why defending Ukraine is crucial for the future of global democracy.
As a Frenchman, Bernie Sanders is one of the few American politician I still respect. He fought for the same cause for decade without compromission, respecting his losses. If someone would be able to win against Trump, that would be him, but he is getting a bit too old to be president. 😅
It’s sad because he had a chance in 2016… then Cliton had to through a hissy fit with the DNC and fucked us all by giving Trump the upper hand for the first time.
Never let anyone forget that the Neolibs had a chance in 2016 to accept leftist policies and canidates into the party and decided they would rather burn the country down than force their rich doners to make concessions.
Well, he should have been president years ago considering his grassroots support, but since the dems also serve capitalist oligarchs they forced Hillary Clinton as the candidate which vastly moved toward Trump being elected the first time. Which is why Bernie is registered independent. Bernie proposed the actual solution, which was to stop our government from being bought and sold, and here we are.
The dems haven’t had a true primary in almost two decades now. We just get stuck with whoever the top brass wants and hope they can compete.
