Reasoned discussion is critical; exchange of ideas is essential — concerned for our future as the worst impulses are validated & become “acceptable”.

Based on his reading of the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump would've blamed the Americans at Pearl Harbor for trying to shoot down Japanese planes.
Q: Some are saying Russia's recent attacks show Putin isn't serious about peace
TRUMP: Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. I don't say that negatively. There have been explosions in various parts of Russia. I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the USA.
