Chuck DarwinFormer U.S. national security adviser <a href="https://c.im/tags/Susan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Susan</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rice</a> 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 <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>, who really is like the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Neville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neville</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chamberlain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chamberlain</a> 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.Trump has long been accused of having a "curious" relationship with Putin and recently refused to endorse a Ukrainian victory over Russia.“We’ve seen him fold to blandishments from <a href="https://c.im/tags/Xi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xi</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jinping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jinping</a> and many others when it was convenient for him and served his personal interests,” Rice told O’Donnell, referring to the many instances in which Trump has praised the Chinese president from the White House.“So that is why more than 700 Democrats, Republicans and Independents — very senior national security leaders — came together to oppose Donald Trump and support [Vice President] Kamala Harris,” she continued, referring to an open letter published last month.The document was signed by current and former defense officials, including former defense secretaries <a href="https://c.im/tags/Chuck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chuck</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hagel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hagel</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/William" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#William</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cohen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cohen</a> — Republicans who served respectively under Democratic former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — as well as ex-CIA director <a href="https://c.im/tags/Michael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Michael</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hayden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hayden</a><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/susan-rice-calls-trump-a-surrender-monkey-for-appeasing-putin-with-approach-to-ukraine_n_670179aee4b0f85b87eefa12" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/susan-rice-calls-trump-a-surrender-monkey-for-appeasing-putin-with-approach-to-ukraine_n_670179aee4b0f85b87eefa12</a>

Pecker told Trump he could be the “eyes and ears” for Trump’s presidential campaign, on the lookout for any salacious stories people were telling about him. Prosecutors would later call this strategy a “catch and kill” scheme.As Trump’s campaign began to grow, Pecker learned about an adult film actor who said she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, the year after he married Melania, and was willing to go public with her story.With the help of his former fixer <a href="https://c.im/tags/Michael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Michael</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cohen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cohen</a>, Trump would allegedly pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 in 2016 to keep quiet about her story.
