The bottom line:
Support Ukraine or let them rearm—it’s that simple. Silence on this debate isn’t an answer. Let’s stop pretending we can ignore this. If you oppose funding Ukraine, be ready to explain why they shouldn’t defend themselves through strength.

Why this matters:
Our commitments matter. Breaking them undermines not just Ukraine, but global stability. Either we honor the Budapest Memorandum with financial and military support—or we accept a world where countries like Ukraine must arm themselves for survival.

To those opposing aid:
You don’t want to send money, yet you won’t support Ukraine defending itself with nukes. What’s your plan? Leaving Ukraine vulnerable invites further Russian aggression and destabilizes Europe. The U.S. cannot afford to signal weakness on the global stage.

The bigger picture:
Abandoning Ukraine risks global chaos. It signals to countries like Iran or North Korea that nuclear weapons are the only path to security. A nuclear Ukraine might stabilize the region, but it risks triggering a global arms race.

A nuclear Ukraine?
If we stop funding Ukraine, the logical solution is to allow them to defend themselves. A nuclear arsenal would deter Russia and create a stalemate. Isn’t that the essence of “peace through strength”?

Why the silence?
MAGA and many in the GOP complain about sending money to Ukraine. But here’s a question: If you don’t want to fund them, why not let them rearm? Let Ukraine have nukes to defend itself.
When I say this, the conversation often goes silent. Why is there no response?

What’s at stake?
Ukraine disarmed for peace. If we abandon them now, the message to the world is clear: giving up nukes is a mistake. This undermines global trust in disarmament and encourages other nations to pursue nuclear weapons as their only reliable defense.

Why does America support Ukraine?
In 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up the world’s 3rd largest nuclear arsenal. In exchange, the U.S., U.K., and Russia guaranteed its sovereignty. The logic was simple: disarmament in exchange for security.

Trump’s proposed 60% tariff on Chinese goods and 20% on all other imports would hurt the economy before any manufacturing gains could be realized. Let me break down how this would affect us immediately. 🧵👇

Looks like Nate Silvers’s prediction is getting closer as Trump is at 50% now down from 50.2% and about to drop below. This means that more than 50% voted against Trump. It wasn’t a mandate.

The Broader Pattern:
This isn’t about inflation or immigration or even conspiracies. It’s about using these issues as tools to discredit Democrats and maintain GOP power. Underneath the rhetoric, their solutions often worsen the very problems they claim to care about.

Foreign Policy Contradictions:
Trump touts "peace through strength," but his appointments, like Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, signal a hawkish, interventionist stance. Rubio has consistently pushed for aggressive foreign policies, especially toward China and Iran.

2024 Election and Messaging:
In 2024, Republicans capitalized on economic uncertainty to paint Democrats as out of touch. But they offered little of substance to address inflation, housing, or healthcare. The focus was on blaming Democrats, not fixing problems.

Obama and Kitchen Table Issues:
Under Obama, Republicans criticized him relentlessly despite economic improvement. The unemployment rate dropped from 10% to under 5%, but GOP leaders called it a "jobless recovery" and focused on fear-mongering about Obamacare.

Conspiracy Theories and Distractions:
The rise of QAnon and other conspiracies shows how the GOP diverts attention from substantive issues. Claims of “pedophile rings” or “stolen elections” have no basis in fact, but they keep their base outraged and distrustful of Democrats.

Border Security:
Republicans relentlessly blamed Biden for chaos at the border, but their "solutions" have been vague and ineffective. For example, Trump’s border wall was incomplete and riddled with legal, environmental, and logistical challenges.

Inflation and the Economy:
Republicans hammered Biden for high inflation, claiming it was caused by Democratic spending. But inflation is a global phenomenon. Post-COVID supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine, and corporate profit-taking have all been major drivers.

🧵Republicans weaponize issues like inflation, border security, and even conspiracy theories to attack Democrats, not to solve problems. They exploit crises or fabricate them to gain power while neglecting solutions that help the American people. Let me show you.
