Is Rubio Secretary of State? I hadn't noticed.
We absolutely need to continue our support for Ukraine! They are doing the dirty work for us as well as themsleves. Negotiating with Putin is like reasoning with a rabid dog. There really is only one way to deal with that.
It's not loathsome to help people fight back against a violent fascist take over. What is so hard to understand about defending democracy? I just cannot understand people.

Poland's economy should be benefiting by serving as a base of operation for Europe's defense.
Putin has been more successful occupying the White House than in occupying Ukraine .
Imagine if Russia were to grab all the tech invented by Ukraine, to further use against the Free World – that is at stake here too.
Trump and Putin are scheming (Dmitriev) as Trump has said to the Press today some "Big Beautiful" plan for Ukraine and Europe. This generally means something bad – unity is key now – Congress and Senate must stand up to Trump and find as much leverage as possible against his secret "deals" with Putin, so Putin is not enabled further. We've refused the "diesel Deal" as Russian 3 tankers are heading elsewhere, refused by buyers at our ports. So if graham's bill was strengthened without the loopholes – Trump would be blocked from the more lucrative deals he's got with Putin. Interceptors for ballistics to Ukraine – or allow them to strike the launchers of those missiles. 💙💛 Stay warm, Phil!
I hope we soon stop those terrible Russian puppets in our government and start supporting Ukraine. I worry about Europe's future.
so sad. Especially knowing that Poland could totally hulk smash moscow.
I guess the Berlin wall really didn't fall 😢.
It's amazing that Ukraine has become the Silicon Valley of drone warfare in the midst of a 5 years kinetic assault. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava !🇺🇦 Thanks for this report.
