Perspective: Since 2014, the US has spent about 70 billion in aid to Ukraine. If you can read a chart, I'll bet you'll see where we could have made better choices and maybe succeeded in defending sovereignty & saved Russian and Ukrainian citizens alike. Maybe...if Trump ever actually kept his word.

[1 of 4] Putting a concentration camp in a foreign, friendly, and corrupt country is EXACTLY what the Nazis did. I'm certain we're in the full-alarm category of authoritarianism. The only thing standing in the way are states rights and particularly those of blue states.

I believe we can definitively say that the US is now held by an authoritarian regime. The executive branch has effectively ignored the existence and authority of both the legislative and judicial branches. Shame on us for letting this happen.
