BREAKING: Pope Leo just SLAPPED DOWN Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” and warned that he’s blowing up the US-Europe alliance.

Pope Leo, the first American-born pope, didn’t mince words after meeting with Ukraine President Zelenskyy yesterday. He warned that Trump’s Russia-Ukraine plan would “make a huge change” in what had been a true alliance between Europe and the United States, blasting the idea of trying to cut a deal over Ukraine’s future while sidelining European leaders.

In plain English: Trump is treating NATO like an optional group chat while playing footsie with the Kremlin.

According to the pope, any attempt to impose a Ukraine “peace” that doesn’t meaningfully include Europe is “not realistic” — diplomatic-speak for “reckless and dangerous.” While Ukraine is being pushed to swallow major territorial losses, Trump’s team is busy pitching a plan critics say bends toward Russian demands and shuts out the very allies who’ve carried the burden of sanctions, refugees, and military aid since day one.

This isn’t the first time Pope Leo has lit up Trump’s agenda. When Trump dismissed climate change as “the greatest con job ever,” Leo publicly urged world leaders to “act with courage,” prompting MAGA Republicans to sneer at him as a “woke pope.” He’s also repeatedly condemned Trump’s brutal deportation machine and treatment of immigrants, putting him on a collision course with an administration that calls cruelty “enforcing the law.”

While Leo warns about shredding the transatlantic alliance, Trump’s own envoys are under scrutiny. His special envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly coached a top Putin adviser on how to pitch Trump the Ukraine plan — all while Russia keeps bombing Ukraine and insisting on the handover of huge swaths of Ukrainian territory.

So, on one side is a pope warning that peace without justice, allies, or Ukraine’s real consent is a sham. On the other side is Donald Trump, happy to strong-arm a besieged democracy, flatter Moscow, insult Europe, and call it “America First.”

When a pope has to step in to defend the idea of a united democratic front against an autocratic invasion, it says everything about how far this White House has drifted — not just from Europe, but from basic moral sanity.
