Susan Rice Calls Trump A 'Surrender Monkey' For Trying To Appease Putin On Ukraine

Former U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice delivered a damning critique Thursday of Donald Trump and his foreign policy agenda for aiming to appease Russian President Vladimir Putin during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

“The fundamentals of national security — that America needs to be strong, that we need to stand with our allies, we need to stand for our values, we have to mean what we say … never used to be under serious question,” she told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.

“And along comes Donald Trump, who really is like the Neville Chamberlain of the Republican Party,” Rice continued. “He’s an appeaser. He’s a surrender monkey. And that’s what we’re seeing in his approach to Ukraine.”

Chamberlain exercised a policy of “appeasement” during his tenure as British prime minister in the years leading up to World War II, in a failed attempt to prevent Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler from expanding German control of Europe and waging war on the United Kingdom.

I knew it when I heard those words come out of her mouth.

In the episode "Round Springfield" budget cuts force Scottish Groundskeeper Willie to teach French in the scene below.

That's gonna get Trump's goat on so many levels. But his advisors will never let the through his protective bubble.

I never heard them both mentioned "together", so I totally forgot that they have the same last name!

He is between a sword and a spear, on one side he has Putin with a sword on his chest, and the USA justice system on the other, he loses both ways, but I think he knows Putin is more dangerous.

As Trump said the other day, "It takes two to tango". In this case, that means Putin and the surrender monkey, aka Donald J. Trump. Or, if you will, Neville Chamberlain II.
