@xenon yes.
This is, as I told D4 today, is what's remarkable. To have the (almost) entire international community rise up in its condemnation of Russian aggression, and, more importantly, take definitive action with a powerful weapon, money, is amazing.
At this point, there's little more that the US needs to do, or for that matter, should do. It's joining in international condemnation.

Agreed. To answer @Horace 's question, I'd imagine if Trump was president, it would be a bit more chaotic/confusing with his tweets communicating each thought (for, against, for, against, etc) he had at 2am, and with each tweet we would have folks on both sides claiming he is in cahoots with Putin or not. Anyway, ultimately I think we'd end in the same spot of joining international condemnation with no real military involvement.
@Mik good point, the economic pressures are the real chess pieces now, it seems/

What do you think the chances are that at the end of all this, Velensky drops a hugely incriminating file about Hunter and Burisma on the internet then says “Thanks for all the help, Joe…”
Wouldn't matter. The Slimes and the Compost would cover it up like a cat covering up shit.

Not with a Republican Congress. It could turn into a BFD.

Remember when they told us future wars would be fought economically? Well, here we are.

One can hope...

The thought has crossed my mind that no matter what the outcome over the next few days, Volodymir Zelenskyi is now in the eyes of the world, what Lech Walesa was to Poland in standing in defiance to the monopoly of Soviet power in central and east Europe in the early 1980s. If that is indeed the case, Putin and his thugocracy will ultimately fail.

It's worth remembering that it was Zelensky from whom Trump withheld military aid unless he would help gather political dirt.

Dirt or simple facts?
Face it, Hunter and Joe are absolute grifting slimeballs and I wouldn't leave either one alone in a room with my daughter. Or my dog.
If Trump had managed to sink either one of their ass, I would have stood on a chair and cheered, knowing thet the Republic was better off.

I have to say, the thought of leaving my daughter alone with Donald Trump doesn't exactly make my heart sing, either.
I was only joking

If, after the year long shit show weve had to live through you still hate Trump, then your commitment to stupidity truly is amazing.

You are aware that it's logistically possible to dislike more than one person simultaneously, right?
