Sir, what has happened to you? Strutting is the last thing we should be doing. BDA process incomplete, we don’t know what comes next, WH has not yet clearly identified the ultimate endstate, and the Congress was not properly informed.

Nobody is hugging Khameini, and nobody should be hugging Lukashenko. Lithuania’s allies should be offering equal treatment to all representatives of the axis of chaos, as I explain in my latest newsletter linked below.

I am proud to be a signatory to this call for action. Russia has intensified its attacks against innocent Ukrainian civilians because they see a slackening of US and European commitment. We can do much better. And China is watching to see if we are serious.

⚡️ Merz admits Germany ignored Baltic warnings about Russia’s imperialism for too long. 💬 “We’ve recognized this mistake—and there’s no going back.”

So Zelensky did everything Trump asked him to do, signed away mineral rights, agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, and the U.S. still cut off previously funded weapons supplies, leaving Ukrainian cities defenseless against Russian missile strikes. A lesson to all here.

Ukrainians don’t need to ask permission or beg forgiveness anymore. If the U.S. won’t even protect civilian populations from nightly rocket and drone barrages, then the U.S. gets no say in how Ukraine fights its war—within and without its borders.

Elbridge Colby made a big stink when he was out of government about the need for the U.S. to focus on Asia. Now one Asian dictatorship is deploying more troops to Europe to fight a U.S. ally. MAGA conceits come to dust easily.

This is not making America great again. The World looked to the US as a beacon of democracy, human rights, and opportunity. Even if they didn't like some of our policies or Administrations, they respected America and expected us to always do the right thing. Sadly, that's over.

Global democracies shouldn’t get in the self-defeating habit of talking ourselves into weary off-ramps due to “Ukraine fatigue” Our goal instead? Policies to give the #Kremlin “Ukraine fatigue” by arming #Ukraine & deploying sanctions so it relents in its criminal aggression

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇦Nobody should be surprised that “Bridge” has frozen arms to Ukraine after spending the last three years itching for such an outcome in this very platform. Global democracies need to keep up the pace - more heavy weapons to Ukraine now! For example: 🇩🇪 send the Taurus!
