I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.
Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.
Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

If you let corruption fester then it creates a very bad incentive structure in which anyone who isn't corrupt is a sucker and once everyone is corrupt, everyone is guilty, and enforcement of anti-corruption laws simply becomes a mechanism for punishing anyone who falls from favor

First of all, I'd like to apologize to the North Korean military. I might have said some things that were projection in hindsight...

So a very large ship that would be very expensive but without VLS cells, it wouldn't have any weapons that would actually be able to defend itself or engage the enemy.
Like, I can't stress that enough: the VLS system is like, 90% of an Arleigh Burke's firepower.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I don't know what the point of saying this is—but he has no legal authority whatsoever to do any of that. There's is no AUMF for any strikes on any of these parties. Moreover, these would be strikes on sovereign States that we are not in a state of armed conflict with.
Trump: "We're doing start doing those strikes on land too. You know, the land is much easier."

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

Trump was able to take over again because Americans assumed if something was really illegal, the Constitution would break out of its case and shoot the president with a gun.
