"The appalling spectacle of Republican Senators refusing to uphold their oath of office is not a difference of opinion on foreign affairs. It is the coerced behavior of the influence of the Russian Federation. Because Trump is compromised, and they follow Trump, they are compromised."

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.

Ukrainians can count their protests over Zelensky stripping their anti-corruption bodies of independence–and then his U-turn–as another street victory. And proof Ukraine remains a burgeoning if imperfect democracy, despite creeping authoritarian tendencies of its leaders, and in contract to Russia.
