Today is January 6th, and it’s been five years since Trump attempted a coup and failed.
Trump should be in prison, not the White House.
The US failed to enforce the law and hold him accountable, and the whole world is suffering as a result

It’s been almost four years, and Russia still controls way less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion.
What a pathetic failure!

To end the war in Ukraine faster, we need to make it too unsustainable for Russia.
It’s the only way.
To do that, we need to help Ukraine expand drone and missile production to accelerate the damage to Russia’s economy.
As simple as that!

The fact that Europe has to worry about defending Greenland from an ally is exactly what Putin and Xi want.
Trump is the biggest gift to Russia and China and could hardly act in a more traitorous, anti-Western way

Europeans should condemn this more harshly and take these threats more seriously, because they are serious.
This is the kind of behavior that makes Trump and his administration enemies of Europe and the best allies of Russia and China

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

I know that Russia doesn’t need this kind of justification to invade its neighbors, but it’s still not something you want to hear from the US, and it makes the whataboutism used by Russia’s and China’s supporters much harder to counter
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries
TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

Putin destroyed Russia’s influence and potential by launching his full-scale invasion of Ukraine
Russia is truly losing its power projection and influence because it is overstretched by its failed war in Ukraine.
It is not a coincidence that Russia’s allies, Assad and Maduro, fell, while Iran is also struggling
