Since Jared Kushner is now willing to “put the facts and supporting information out publicly” in those (implicitly infrequent) instances “when the truth matters,” I have put together a list of questions for his consideration.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

President Stubb: I think people need to start seriously thinking, "What will be one of the strongest security guarantees for Europe in the future?" And I would argue that it is the military of Ukraine. It is the most modern military force that we have in Europe today.
