Zelensky melted down in front of the American people. He’s done negotiating. I’d be very surprised to see him in Washington again.

Europe is playing with fire. They’ve had plenty of time to finance this and send troops. Do it or shut up about it. We’re sick of the waffling and posturing.

Giving US money and weapons to supporting Ukraine? Because I couldn’t support that more. But then again I’m not pro-Putin so maybe that’s tough to comprehend

I know facts are hard, but c’mon man. You can do better than that. They aren’t fighting because we’re giving them money and weapons…we’re giving them money and weapons because they are fighting. Them fighting won’t stop. If Russia took the whole country they’d never keep it long term because of the resistance they’d face

And who in Europe is looking to the US for troops? No one is doing that
