"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

Turning a blind eye to dictators conquering others in the hopes of avoiding war is EXACTLY how WWII started.

Letting Ukraine hang out to dry all but guarantees Americans fighting in another world war. We either live in a world with laws and consequences, or we don't.
Presidents shouldn't be able to revoke security clearances.

...But since they can, let's all celebrate and breathe a sigh of relief that Appeasement Jake will no longer be consulted 🥳😮‍💨😌

I wish Jake luck in a role more his speed, one that doesn't require risk, or making decisions of consequence.

Iran, North Korea, and now even the Houthis joining this war was entirely predictable in 2022 with the way we dithered and cowered at every given opportunity

Actions carry escalation risk, but INACTION carries an escalation GUARANTEE.

This will go even more global too if we don't do something now.
Western fear is Russia’s greatest weapon. Our fears and inaction have let Russia’s war go global.

If you tolerate evil, evil will destroy you. If you tolerate intolerance (evil), intolerance will destroy you. If you let fascists speak freely, they will take away your freedom of speech and enslave you. This is happening to us now. (See Karl Popper, The Tolerance Paradox.)
"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."

Killing innocent pilots and passengers, destroying MILLIONS in planes and cargo... How is this NOT an act of war? 🤯

We should be responding kinetically to deter Russia from blowing up MORE planes and killing MORE innocent people, but our cowardly leaders aren't even THREATENING a kinetic response 😤

I know the chances of Trump being a hawk are INCREDIBLY slim... But after 4 years of impotent Biden, I want this to happen so bad 🤞

I will be Trump's biggest cheerleader if he goes hard on Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, I don't even care 🙏🙏🙏

Only some stupid academics like Mearsheimer or Sachs will believe in this nonsense. And will parrot russian propaganda over and over again.
We leveled your cities, carried out mass executions of civilians and POWs, denied your nationhood and language, denied your agency to conduct foreign policy, and invaded you twice. But if you downsize your army and become neutral, we promise we won't touch you again, trust me bro
