Long-time listener Lee rings James O’Brien to give his take on the latest string of statements from Donald Trump on the war in Ukraine.
Lee is an aid-worker in Lviv and offers valuable insight into the feelings of the Ukrainian people. He believes the people feel betrayed by America and its government. Recently and increasingly, Donald Trump has put out messaging that seems to side more with Russia than with Ukraine.
This has cut through on the ground, says Lee. He says that in his local Lviv coffee shop, the word ‘Americano’ is even crossed out on the menu, such is their frustration with their long-standing ally.

James’s opening monologue is excellent.
Sample :
“He looks at someone even more depraved than he is and he loves it. He feels a mixture of envy and fear.”
Lee the aid worker reveals an incredible change in Ukraine:
Ukrainians, formerly some of the most pro-US people in the world, are feeling bewildered and hurt by this epic betrayal.
The magaputler shitheads have succeeded in bracketing Ukraine with their hate figure; Biden and Krasnov with their hero : putler.
They know it’s Trump and his army of zombies that hate Ukraine, but not the majority of Americans, who are the sane part of the country’s population.
I think there are many Americans feeling bewildered and hurt as well. What can anyone do except wait 3 1/2 years… need more than protests and mid term votes…
