Douglas Murray tells it.
It's possible to be European, to agree that a Trump presidency was and is a necessity for the US and for the world, to even agree with a lot of what he wants (or says he wants) to do, with a lot of what he actually does, and even understand that there is a lot of rhetorical bravado and a language specific to him that must be correctly interpreted, not overblown and overreacted to... and still think Trump, like the MAGA movement at large and a most conservatives and libertarians in the US, are simply WRONG about Ukraine.
It's the same in Europe with the "new right" movements. Which I know have historically cozied up to the Russian regime. From all sorts of random small neonazi groups, to many current "alternative" parties that are reaching seats of power. Some have undoubtedly been funded by Putin, and all have been ideologically fed by him.
The victims are Europeans, who are caught between the blatantly anti-European, anti-human technocratic Corporate Estate mainstream regime upheld by Brussels, and an equally anti-European and anti-human old style in your face fascist regime upheld by Moscow.
The US should know better and avoid such unnecessary false choices, and keep MAGA out and safe from becoming a classic example of the Soviet-era useful idiot.
