Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions,” the EU justice commissioner tells POLITICO.
Donald Trump’s drive to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin off the hook for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned, effectively setting a new red line for a deal.
In an interview with POLITICO, Michael McGrath, the European commissioner for justice and democracy, said negotiators must ensure the push for a ceasefire does not result in Russia escaping prosecution.
His comments reflect concerns widely held in European capitals that the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” alongside plans to reintegrate Russia into the world economy.
Trump is as stereotypical American as you can get.
Ignorant, dishonest, self centered, and only interested in money.
Kind of the perfect representative for USA.
Many Americans think American law equals international law, so in this Trump is probably pretty average.
Every New Yorker hates Trump’s guts, and historically and publicly have since the 1980s. You are absolutely correct to criticize our current government, but the rest of this just feels like frustrated lashing out
As a foreigner this is easy to observe, as an American it may not be so obvious.
But USA is clearly extreme on American exceptionalism.
The past few years (decade) it has gone down a bit, because the non Republicans are beginning to see it.
New Yorker can hate Trump as much as they want, many of them they still share some of those fundamental traits.
America isn’t a monolith. There are a lot of Americans who fit that stereotype. And there are a lot of Americans who never have and never will fit that stereotype.
You are stating the obvious, but you can still talk about Americans in general.
And the fact is that there are clear traits and tendencies that are more common among Americans than most other nationalities.
Just go to youtube, and see a few videos of how Americans react to living in another country.
You will with a very high degree of certainty see the traits I mention observed when Americans see themselves from an outside perspective from almost any country.
I find majority of American tourists to act like trump when they come over here, sure it’s not everyone but it’s plenty enough to have a negative opinion on the US. As well as MK-Ultra.
I think you’ll have to be American to not be aware that this is how Americans are often viewed.
Obviously it is not all Americans, but it is enough to create that image.
Oh now I understand, you actually have no clue what you’re even talking about
The US is 55+ states and dozens of Indian nations all stuck together under one flag. There isn’t a stereotypical person from the States any more than there is a stereotypical European. Putting aside that ‘American’ covers North, South, and Central America.
