The most appropriate and effective way to recover Ukraine is to deprive Russia of the ability to destroy us. Then there will be much less to recover.

Apparently Schumer is going to force a reading of the 900+ page bill on the floor, which beats a strongly worded letter, and would delay the vote somewhat.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine demands that the international community strongly condemn another massive combined shelling of Ukrainian cities carried out by Russia on the night of June 17, and take concrete steps to increase pressure on Russia and strengthen Ukraine.

The thing that so easily allows an authoritarian dictatorship to seize power in America is the extent to which Americans believe "it can't happen here". That widespread notion is so ingrained that it acts as a sleeping pill, paralyzing any real action until it's too late.

The end of the war should not be the loss of Ukrainian territories and the awarding of new territories to the aggressor, but the loss of Russian territories and an increase in the size of Ukraine, at least until the time of Ukraine in 1918, in compensation for aggression from the Russian Federation.

What the last few days have demonstrated is that European security would be far more enhanced by integrating a Ukraine that is willing to fight for European freedom, then relying on a USA that is clearly not interested in doing so.

Fascists love to be scary. Being called a fascist or dictator makes them proud. What they can't handle is being mocked and laughed at. Being the butt of jokes is the one thing that will consistently make Trump melt down and lash out. It's our most effective weapon outside the courts.

🇪🇺 Brussels is preparing a “Plan B” to launch EU accession talks with Ukraine without Hungary, should Orban maintain his veto. The workaround, dubbed “parallel negotiations,” would see 26 member states move forward with Kyiv—even if unanimity isn’t reached. Possibly already by fall.
