So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

The economic peril of pivoting to Russia: As Donald Trump pivots away from Europe and toward Russia, he's putting at risk the deepest and most important economic relationship in the world: that between the U.S. and Europe. Why it matters: The U.S. economy has reaped enormous dividends from the way…

Typical Trump lie: He said Zelensky’s approval rating was 4% when in fact it hovers around 57%, far higher than Trump’s has ever reached. Another: He called Ukraine’s democratically elected leader a “dictator.” Yet another: He blamed Ukraine for Russia’s military invasion of its sovereign territory

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.

To oppose one’s own country. What a strange position for an American to be in. But bcuz Trump/the United States has decided to stand with Putin, I have no choice. Bcuz I stand with Ukraine, NATO & the free world. Strange, yes. But my country is siding with the invader/dictator. My country is wrong.

Trump trashes Zelensky as a dictator. Still has never said a negative word about Putin. Idk whether Europe/Ukraine has figured this out yet - but you are on your own. You have no friend in the current US govt & Republicans in Congress who said they supported you will say nothing.
