If you take a single lesson out of Star Wars let it be that successful opposition to fascism only happened after all the different factions stopped fighting with each other and joined forces.

You can criticize your allies, of course, but you can’t be more focused on defeating them than the enemy.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
