Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either.
This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries).
The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia.
The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one
