I watched the Putin interview and my biggest takeaway is: it’s obviously a good use of our resources to send weapons to Ukraine to destroy Putin’s army.

China is just flagrantly aggressive against U.S. allies. It is shocking the U.S. hasn’t responded.

It’s hard to come up with the words for how horrible and untrue this is. Russians have tortured Christian pastors for being Christians. The Russians are targeting evangelical homes and churches.
Marjorie Taylor Greene once again does Putin’s bidding:. “This is a war on Christianity. The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians. Russia is not doing that. They are not attacking Christianity. As a matter of fact, they seem to be protecting it.”

Despite the narrative that the US doesn't track where our weapons are going in Ukr, we sure are, and are learning a great deal about their performance against Russian weapons-- a big education for the US after 2 decades of GWOT.
Every Ukrainian downing of Russian hypersonic Kh-47M2 Kinzhal with the Patriot missiles will improve the Patriot missile intercept algorithm - and increase accuracy for all Patriot systems, a benefit for the US, the rest of NATO, and other Patriot AD users. The same goes for any

I’ve been saying for years, Trump was *tough on Russia* and Biden tried Obama’s Russia Reset, which led to Putin invading on Biden’s watch. It is a MYTH that the reverse is true.
Sullivan reportedly had high hopes for dealing with Russia in 2021, when Biden struck agreements with Russia, held a dumbass summit with Putin, & waived NordStream2 sanctions. Back in reality, Russia saw Biden & Sullivan as pushovers, & Putin saw Afghan debacle as further proof.
