Nazi sympathizer. Plotted with Germany after he abdicated to be reinstalled when Germany invaded and took over England. I’ve read that people around him were also very concerned that he was sharing highly classified intelligence with them when he was King too.

It should be on the capitulation to Putin who is growing more powerful by the minute while our country is getting into a weaker and weaker position
Russia is allied with Turkey out in the open for everyone to see. The Isis fighters will probably be released to focus on harming our country.
Russia just signed an agreement with North Korea which is developing more and more nuclear weapons that can destroy South Korea and our soldiers there
Russia is making nice with China
It does not matter whether Trump is betraying the country willingly or not but he is putting all of us in the greatest danger we have ever faced because our enemies have nuclear weapons and Trump has both alienated and weakened our allies
That’s what the news should be about IMO

Charles was tried, convicted, and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared. The monarchy would be restored to Charles's son, Charles II, in 1660. WIKI
