Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is EVERYTHING the civilian pukes in the White House wish they were: masculine, powerful and charismatic. They hate him because his presence reveals their cosplay.

Zelenskyy will go down as one of the great heroic figures of the 21st century

I’m struggling with the narrative that Dems need to dumb down their messaging and cater to all the thick brains that Trump makes “feel seen”. I’m sorry but it doesn’t take a fucking rocket scientist to know right vs wrong, fact vs fiction & basic human decency? Like these are not scholarly concepts

Mindset reset:

Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life.

If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed.
