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.

Trump has now attacked Ukraine and Zelensky saying that Zelensky is a dictator and that it is Ukraine's fault the war started. Trump has sent his fake delegation to Saudi Arabia to listen to the Russia and agree to all of their demands. youtu.be/vCnklxASVQ4

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov. 2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept. 3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”). 4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.

Z seems to be going into these negotiations as someone who is very aware of what he is dealing with in the American president.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
