Putin Pummels Ukraine With ‘Every Type Of Weapon In His Arsenal’
"We must continue to stand with Ukraine -- for as long as it takes," Rishi Sunak said Friday.
That sounds like a boilerplate, rah-rah (or blah, blah) expression of solidarity, but it was notable that Sunak used the phrase "for as long as it takes." And after an em dash, no less.
Earlier this month, Joe Biden raised eyebrows when, during Volodymyr Zelensky's mostly fruitless visit to Washington, the US president said America would "continue to supply Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment
Democrats need to give in on the border issues to get Republican agreement to the stalled Ukraine aid bill. Most Democratic voters are as unhappy with the sheer numbers of asylum seekers as Republican voters are, and the fate of said asylum seekers is far less important to the US – and world – than defeating Russia.
Biden also needs to be less cautious in supplying weapons to Ukraine. The Bradley has been very effective against Russian armor, yet the US is selling off its hundreds of surplus Bradleys to everyone but Ukraine. Ditto ATACMS, F-16s, etc. The Ukrainians need superior weapons, they cannot simply trade lives with much larger Russia.
Yeah, I don’t necessarily disagree. We’re nowhere near an immigration fix that’s actually viable (i.e., it’s not as if Democrats are “almost there” and to give in now is to throw away some fantastic opportunity), and we’re already violating, in spirit anyway, the promise on the Statue of Liberty, every, single day. So, with sincere apologies to all the people trying to get in, I’m not entirely sure that acquiescing to Republican demands in the interest of freeing up Ukraine aid is going to make things any worse than they already are for aspiring South American immigrants. Honestly, my advice to immigrants on the southern border who’re determined to get in is to just make a damn run for it. That’s what I’d do. And I’d keep trying until it worked. Because it will eventually.
Agreed.
Not sure what Biden is thinking. The loonie left will anyhow hate him for his stance on Palestine and, apparently, the student debt forgiveness stuff. At this point, he’s better tacking to the center and advertising his oil production success as well as a bipartisan deal on immigration…
