From Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s farewell speech moments ago: “Democracy is not a given. Freedom is not a given. Even Canada is not a given. None of those happen by accident; none of them will continue without effort.”

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.

The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...
Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States
Trump’s Oval Office mob show proves he’s no Don Corleone. He’s Luca Brasi—with nukes.

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."
