Only Russian soldiers can "go home."
The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land.

When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.

These ships honor giants of American history — people like Marylanders Thurgood Marshall and Harriet Tubman, who helped forge a stronger, more powerful nation and made us a global example of freedom in action.

This is repulsive.
