As discussions suggest adapting U.S. policies to match Russia's stance on Ukraine, Patten reflects on the distress felt in Europe over America's diminishing commitment to foundational democratic values and international cooperation.
I'm not sure most Americans appreciate the monumental damage President Donald Trump is doing to the post-World War II order that is the wellspring of American global leadership and affluence.
Where are the American values that I used to admire? I wish I knew what to tell him. But this is a humiliating month to be an American.
Trump is doing Putin's bidding and seems determined to put the United States in the Russian orbit.
There is talk of adopting Russia's position on Ukraine and dropping sanctions against Moscow. This would be grotesque.
