Following president Trump's imperious chastisement of president Zelensky, it is well to remember that American isolationism is not new.

But this new leadership style where a Russian autocrat is encouraged at every turn and a courageous democrat like Volodymyr Zelensky is chided and belittled like an errant child is no good for anyone.

It was very interesting to see the dexterous way in which vice-president Vance stirred the pot. Let us pray his opportunistic politics do not prosper.

For the first time in my life, I find myself agreeing with president Trump. It is time Europeans stopped depending on the US. This is most certainly a crossroads. Ritual humiliation has no place in transatlantic relations.
