The whole operation is a brilliant move by Ukraine. It’s a deep humiliation for Putin and completely shatters all his lies regarding his invasion of Ukraine. Russia is ever more isolated. NATO ever more united and powerful with 2 significant new members. The death toll and loss of hardware for Russia in this war are off the scale. And now it cannot even protect its own borders. The wannabe Tsar has no clothes. It’s amazing he’s still alive. We need to provide Ukraine with all the weapons and supplies it needs to win the war Putin started.

How does it help define and end game? It seems to me like we are now being edged by proxy into a war with Russia. Which doesn’t sit well with being a “brilliant move”.

 @MindfulMuesliDemocratfrom Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

So what do you propose Ukraine does. Sit there and let themselves be f..d by the Russians??

 @HumbleMinorityLibertarianfrom Michigan  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I'm amazed how you supporters of unlimited help to Ukraine are not at all worried about Nato being involved in an outright war with Russia. I understand that it is possible to weigh these issues in different ways. But I really don't see that one needs to be a "Kremlin troll" to think that: a) NATO countries should be very worried about getting dragged into a direct military confrontation with Russia, and b) Ukraine has incentives to take actions intended to bring about such a military confrontation.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
