We live in polarising times and many can't even see their own extremism.
But extremists always want you to pick sides, to show your colours, to swear allegiance to their cause or else label you to be of the other extreme.

Russian infiltration of the GOP has without question been the greatest intelligence victory in history. It's literally the only thing keeping the Russian government from collapse.
Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

But the will blame Zelenskyy and Europe instead of themselves
Ru proposed 28 points aiming to build on them and get even more. Instead, push back by Ukraine, Europe, and US public opinion + Senators has likely watered down some of the points, making it likely that Ru will reject the plan it initiated itself. The Trump admin will look like the chumps they are.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
