President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Bruised ego because someone stood up to him.
For the next 4 years at least, the U.S. is not a reliable partner and Europe should be doing everything in its power to reduce dependence on the U.S.just like they should have reduced any dependence on Russia in 2014.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving.
That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.
