#Trump’s anti- #Ukraine view dates to the 1930s. #America rejected it then. Will we now?

The original #AmericaFirst Cmte was founded in Sept 1940. Consider global circumstances at the time. 2 yrs earlier, #Hitler had annexed Austria & #invaded & #occupied Czechoslovakia. 1 yr earlier, he had invaded & conquered Poland. In the 1st months of 1940, he invaded & occupied Norway, Denmark, Belgium & the Netherlands.
In early June 1940, British troops evacuated from Dunkirk, & #France was overrun by the #Nazi#blitzkrieg. In Sept, the very month of the cmte’s formation, German troops were in Paris & Edward R. Murrow was reporting from #London under bombardment by the #Luftwaffe. That was the moment the #AmericaFirst movement launched itself into the battle to #block#aid to #Britain.

I believed Russia would not destroy historic #Odesa, because of the city's significance to the Russian empire. But I was wrong - now it seems they know they will never control it again, so they are happy to see it burn.
Euromaidan Press:
One of the buildings damaged in Russia's night missile attack on Odesa is the Count Pototskyi Palace (Palace of Scientists). Many halls are damaged, and exhibits lost. #Ukraine#Russia
I hold @anneapplebaum and her articles in #TheAtlantic in high esteem, but after the failed #Blitzkrieg when #Putin's invasion force failed to secure #Kiew, Plan B (#ScorchedEarth) has been becoming more likely on a monthly basis, as I have been arguing ever since, e.g. here:
The #Council should rule that the #Russian aggressor stop the shelling of #refugees immediately and the UN should secure the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (#ZPP) and empower #NATO to put its decisions into effect by armed measures (Art. 42, #UNCharter).
