A visit to the Ukrainian house is the most humbling experience. I talked to an unbelievable chipper Ukrainian woman working for a drone company, who was telling me about weeks of minus 10 degrees in Kyiv with 4 hours of electricity per day.

"In August 2025, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned."

Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

Brexit and Trump are two sides of the same coin.
Russia backed both to shatter the West from the inside. It worked.
A divided Europe and an isolationist US are the best gifts Putin ever got.
We are fighting each other while he tries to rebuild an empire
