Committing the most brutal crimes against Ukraine, its people, and its sovereignty comes with consequences.
We will continue to sanction those responsible for war and children related crimes, appropriation of Ukrainian cultural heritage or for spreading Russian propaganda. (9/9)

Russia’s war begins in its military factories.
Breaking Russia’s military industrial base and its international supply chains is a means to end it.
Over 40 companies in Russia and in third countries are proposed for “full-fledged sanctions” to further disrupt Russia’s production lines. (5/9)

Who came up with the idea of Putin changing his calculus and then negotiate a peace? Is there anything anywhere that supports that idea? Has Putin ever backed off before? Cut his losses and called it a day?

A short-term peace agreement in the coming months only gets in the way of Putin’s strategy. Putin is only using them as a tool to buy time to implement his strategy & convince the Trump administration the only direction for the war is negative for Ukraine.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.
Yes, we’re looking at you, Lisa Murkowski & Susan Collins & Thom Tillis, you absolute oath-violating cowards.
These 5 people could caucus with the Democrats, giving them a majority & firmly opposing the fascism, any time. It might be nice for an enterprising journalist to ask them why they keep not doing this every day as the crimes & corruption continue & John Thune refuses to fulfill his oath of office.

Exactly. If Europe wanted to stop the terror, push Russia out of Ukraine and make sure Russia is pacified it could do so with a stroke of a pen. It is all about political will. The resources to win are available in abundance.
Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.
