Mitch might be on board now, but should the WH or Senate flip a year from now, that likely changes.
So call him out for what he is, a communist sympathizer, an ally of Putin and an enemy of democracy in any form.
Yup
Defeat Putin, and you're going to weaken the other autocratic regimes in the Middle East, etc.
Which is why the GOP has simply become untenable as a political party for ANYONE who opposes terrorism...
Not bad for a six day war where the invading troops to the north packed celebration uniforms for their victory parade in Kyiv!
Wow - “Now we’re fighting a conventional Russian army, but before Bakhmut fell, the Wagner group was in the area, and they had a particularly terrible approach to this. The group sent forward unarmed men, mostly prisoners, with ammunition for the next group who were experienced mercenaries. They thus used the prisoners as a meat transport machine for ammunition and equipment,” says Mathew, a medic with Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade. He took The Daily Beast in his ambulance to watch them picking up soldiers like ‘Cossack’ from the front line and delivering them to hospitals for emergency treatment. This approach, they say, was uncomfortably effective. “They had no fear” he says, because the consequences of retreat were “certain death”I haven't been keeping up with the thread, SIP (sorry if Pepsi)

I don’t think that’s your work. What do you think is the solutionAll I know is the solution doesn't lie with republican and democrat liars who profit from conflict and war.
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I
conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the
jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake,
since history and experience prove that foreign
influence is one of the most baneful foes of
republican government. But that jealousy to be
useful must be impartial; else it becomes the
instrument of the very influence to be avoided,
instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality
for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of
another cause those whom they actuate to see
danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even
second the arts of influence on the other. Real
patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite,
are liable to become suspected and odious, while its
tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence
of the people to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to
foreign nations is, in extending our commercial
relations, to have with them as little political connection
as possible. So far as we have already formed
engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good
faith. Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us
have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must
be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of
which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence
therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate
ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes
of her politics or the ordinary combinations and
collisions of her friendships or enmities.
