Tim Walz declared a national emergency five years ago today as Minnesota became the epicenter of the anger and frustration felt upon death of George Floyd at the hands of police three days earlier. That’s all I wanted to say, and will leave it to you to remember how it made you feel.

My opinion. Putin thought having Trump supporting Russia would force Ukraine to give in and he expected EU members of NATO to do as America told them. Instead Europe have united more than ever behind Ukraine and he knows they will support Ukraine for as long as it takes. America is weakened.
