“By failing to seize Kyiv in March, Putin had already suffered a strategic military defeat in Ukraine, Zelensky believed. “He opened his mouth like a python and thought that we’re just another bunny. But we’re not a bunny and it turned out that he can’t swallow us—and is actually at risk of getting torn apart himself….
@LeftToPonder The mainstream Republican position seems to be that Biden was ineffective in managing aid to Ukraine so why should they keep funding Biden's program.
It's not about Ukraine directly since it's up to the president to manage the aid program, and they say he botched it.
@LeftToPonder and yet, no matter how much you dislike them, if you want to make political progress you'll have to engage with them.
That's just how the math works.
Hold your nose if you have to, but if you want to get support for your causes then you'll need to communicate with them and find ways to get them to agree to what you want.
That's democracy for you.
@volkris @LeftToPonder that it simply false. This volkris account is pro-Russian
It's one of those accounts that blows smoke out its ears while pole-smoking Putin. Some folks get tricked into thinking Vlad's junk is really a pink cigar. Idiotic. Can't stomach the sights, both the spectacle and the eager spectators, so I don't.
@jackhutton where in the world do you see me saying anything pro-Russian?
If anything I was just pointing out a criticism of Biden for not supporting the anti-Russian cause.

"Mainstream" #republicans preach family values and are perched to outlaw no-fault divorce. They introduce legislation to give rapists custody rights for their crimes' outcomes, which they are already forcing to term in the wombs of those rapists' victims, so what their positions are is shit-smearing, and they smear it on all on things from A to Z. #Ukraine starts with the letter "U," so.... Fuck the #GOP and #MAGA, but I repeat myself.
