U.S. INCOMPETENCE AND IMMORALITY
27-11-2025As a longterm (since 1960) scholar, professor and councillor in Western Cooperation, European unification and in International Law, I am profoundly shocked by the incompetence, inconsistency and immorality of the Trump administration in dealing with the unprovoked Putin-Russia's aggression and its continuing senseless bombing and destroying of human persons, homes and cities in Ukraïne. Even as a self-proclaimed "succesfull" dealmaker, as US President he ought to have understood that peace-making needs Western unity, political courage and moral purpose against the aggressor rather than making a deal with the aggressor. In the current so called negotiations, I do not discover anything in President Trump's approach,worthy of the United States policies since President Wilson after the First World War and the containment policies of all U.S.Administrations since the Second World War. The shamefull document of 28 so-called negotiation items, shows how deeply U.S. foreign policy has sunk in self-serving cowardice and immorality.

Footprints of the 20th Century - Third EditionDescription
The peaceful collapse of the Soviet totalitarian, communist system has been a watershed of historic proportions in Europe and the world. In 1989, unexpectedly, Communism and the Cold War were behind us, they were bad and should be forgotten. The immediate post-1989 world presented itself as a new era of organised forgetting, as neither East nor West were interested in examining the prolonged period of acquiescence in absurdities.
