“European officials may end up offering Ukraine a financial Band-Aid when they had hoped for a financial bazooka.” Tragic loss of nerve. The $244 billion must be used to help Ukraine survive Russia’s illegal onslaught. Belgium is being cowardly.

“A lot of these guys have a lot of the PTSD struggles that we do, and even way worse,” Hoffman said. “And there’s no way for them to get help except out of pocket, which is not easy for them when they’re just working to put food on the table and a roof over their kids’ heads.”
