Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

Please. No more speeches in the Senate about “freedom” until one Republican has the guts to stand up to Trump’s lies about Ukraine & Putin. Ukraine did not start this horrific war. Russia did. Zelensky isn't a dictator. Putin is. The US must not enter into an alliance with Putin.
