Sure it's grotesque to see Trump lying and gaslighting about Russia-Ukraine. But it's far more disgusting to see all the other politicians and journalists who KNOW he's lying say "oh that's just Trump being Trump" - sweeping it under the rug, as if truth doesn't matter at all.
The political leaders of Europe are every bit as guilty as Caligula Trump. It is 11 years since Russia invaded Ukraine and we've now had 3 years of full-scale war, and these fucking people are STILL dragging their feet about defense.
They have had plenty of time to do something, but they kicked the can down the road, waiting for someone else to come in... and now that "someone" has come in, but instead of negotiating an end to the war he is trying to plunder what's left of Ukraine, acting like a grave robber... But that is on Biden and the European leaders for not doing anything but "wait and see" for three whole years.

Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. However, the perpetrators of such frauds are now adopting new methods and technologies to defraud the investors. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said.
