He has not given up on ending Ukraine as a free and independent European nation either, by attempting to zombify its civil society, and forcibly subsume it into his putative new Muscovite Reich. The Kremlin crime syndicate must be made to fail.

The tree of liberty in fitting colors.

From Thomas Paine's 'The Crisis', Dec 23, 1776, quote:

There are persons, too, who see not the full extent of the evil which threatens them; [..] It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice;

With the excellence &critical mass of automation know-how of Europe, it is absolutely feasible to set up drone factories &coding labs that will enable Ukraine to evict Muscovy's minions. For a relatively tidy sum, but (im-)proper haste. Lest we become roadkill.

Thumbs up for using the proper epithet for that man we put in our nation's highest executive office: #TraitorTrump.

He willfully and mendaciously attempted to undermine the foundational method we use to confer legitimacy upon our government. There must be a reckoning.

The new tree of liberty:

'When need be, he is one of you; when that is not necessary, he is your enemy. He is adept at wearing other people’s clothes, and many are taken in by this performance.'

'The corrupting of our people continues, and our people are wholly willing to be corrupted.'
