Anne ApplebaumUkraine's survival, Zelensky's triumphant speech - none of this was inevitable. Let's try to imagine what would have happened if the US and Europe had not helped Ukraine, if Russia had occupied the country, if the Ukrainian political class and creative class had been wiped out, if Russian troops were now based along the Polish border. What would the world look like now?
Kathy E. Gill 🇺🇦Thank you for shining a light on America’s Putin-loving GOP members. Are they compromised? Simply grasping for power? True believers?
This tidbit from the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) needs amplifying as well: ~5% of our defense budget to help decimate Putin’s Army seems like a good ROI to me.
