Terrible news for #Ukraine, and a clear signal to allies in Europe and the Pacific about dealing with the Trump administration. This does nothing but give aid and comfort to Russia and other dictatorships. www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/p...

Through grim, cold and dark winters and dusty, hot summers, through the sacrifice and pain of war, you have played, and continue to play, a brave and historic role in opposing tyranny. Thank you, Ukraine. mickryan.substack.com/p/three-year...

"I don't want advantage, I want peace." - Trump. Peace must not mean surrender by #Ukraine. There have been some low points in this war & this would have to be the political low-point. Invited to the White House, the Ukrainian president was treated abysmally. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

That a wartime president who courageously remained in his country despite being urged to leave, and has united and led his country since, is lectured on 'peace' and 'advantage' by a former military photographer and a draft dodger is a massive irony.
