Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

Remember when we were not losing jobs in droves, or at odds with all our allies, or attacking other nations for their resources, or deploying masked thugs to terrorize our citizens, or pardoning drug traffickers and violent criminals in exchange for bribes?

The abandonment of Ukraine by the US would destroy us as a trustworthy ally, perpetuate war, and gain us nothing as a country. But Witkoff and Trump would be personally enriched. Smells like the hugest act of treachery and corruption ever dreamed of. Ninth circle of hell stuff.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will face a new round of U.S. pressure next week to reach a deal to end Russia’s war as a corruption scandal engulfs his inner circle.
Zelensky faces political peril as corruption scandal consumes top aide
Beset by scandal at home and under U.S. pressure to reach a deal to end the Russian invasion, Volodymyr Zelensky is facing one of the most hazardous moments of his presidency.
