We overestimated Russia.
We underestimated Ukraine.
For Russia, every day without victory is defeat.

But **** “Glenn.” Whoever the hell he is, got his 3 minutes.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

A shame and a historic low point in US diplomatic history: voting AGAINST a resolution condemning 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦, voting AGAINST all US Allies (but Hungary) and the UN majority; voting WITH Russia, DPRK, Sudan, Nicaragua, Belarus and a handful of African junta while China and Iran abstained…

Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine. At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Amazing that the Vice President has the time. Meh. The vice presidency?—“[It] is not worth a bucket of warm spit!”—VP John Nance Garner.
I’d like to think I’m the first person to get into a flame war with VPOTUS from the swimming pool of Woburn Center Parcs at half-term.
The VP is posting through it. (Good for @shashj.bsky.social for hitting a nerve.)

Trump makes war not peace. Rewarding territorial aggrandizement will promote, foster and encourage wider war, not only in Europe. It is the specific duty and Constitutional obligation of all patriots and professionals to abandon and oppose Trump in the supreme national interest.
