At this pivotal moment for 🇺🇦 it’s important to remember that corruption in next door Russia is equally endemic - except there is no independent anti-corruption agency. Putin himself is the ultimate ring leader. Everybody within this corrupt circle is beholden onto him. A position of unrivaled power.
The power of Ukrainian democracy is a sight to behold.
And Trump wants to take millions of people from Ukrainian democracy and gift them to dictatorial Russia.

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship.
The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

I already have a counterproposal:
Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.
Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.
All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.
And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

“In essence, the ‘special military operation’ is genocide against our own people,” said Mikhail Spiridonov from Yadrikhino, Transbaikal. On returning home, he found his village nearly empty. Of the three mobilized locals, one was killed, and another severely wounded.

We you think about all the thousands of articles written wondering whether Trump would send Tomahawks to Ukraine, even claiming he had agreed too, and realize that at no time was there any chance Trump really would; only then do you realize the uselessness of much of the media.

The time for the West to start arming democratic Ukraine to the teeth and imposing crippling sanctions on fascist Russia was... over three years ago.
Putin has been given time to switch his economy to a war footing.
Stopping him now will be much more costly - and risky.

The main lesson from last night for Poland (indeed all NATO in CEE) should be that their defense starts in Ukraine.
Imagine the results if Russians could launch a massive UAV attack on Poland from just over the border in Ukraine?

Russia continues to escalate by aggressively attacking civilian infrastructure of Ukraine and now also the Government building in Kyiv was hit.
The message is clear- Kremlin wants war, not peace.
Our response must be more weapons to Ukraine, more pressure on Russia.
