The best way to explain its that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants right now from 🇺🇦,it would be a little bit like you giving up Florida,Georgia,S.Carolina,N.Carolina,even Virginia,then bumping into Maryland

Nice work to all the Senators who claim to be pro-Ukraine to confirm a Secretary of Defense with a long track record of making anti-Ukraine statements. What could go wrong? Plenty more in addition to what already has. www.nbcnews.com/news/militar...
Hegseth halted weapons for Ukraine despite military analysis that the aid wouldn’t jeopardize U.S. readiness
The move blindsided the State Department, Ukraine, European allies and members of Congress, who demanded an explanation from the Pentagon.

There are significant mass protests in Hungary, Serbia and Georgia against pro-Russian regimes.
There is no equivalent expression of direct democracy in the United States against that country’s pro-Russian regime. Americans are 249 years removed from the Spirit of ‘76.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

No official announcements yet on the fate of the US Agency for International Development, but we've heard from colleagues that had 15 mins notice before being locked out of buildings and systems. USAID works in 120 counties to extend humanitarian aid. Overnight, it has been reduced to rubble.

Not a single one held. Russia violated every single agreement, often by shelling Ukrainian civilians in the occupied Donbas and then turning around to blame Ukraine for the violence.

If anyone believes that signing a peace agreement with Russia will magically fix everything, they’re deeply mistaken.
Between 2014 and 2020, Ukraine signed 20 ceasefire agreements with Russia. At least 8 of these were signed during President Trump’s first term. 👇
