“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Righteous again, Mr. Kasparov. If Ukraine isn't the metaphor of freedom and democracy in an existential fight against totalitarianism and oppression, I don't know what is. I mean, 80% of Americans, including Congress, want and need Ukraine to succeed. Then why are we here now?
