1 reason why #Trump's comments about abandoning #NATO matter are, 1st & foremost, bc he ordered GOP to abandon #Ukraine which virtually all near-Ukraine allies think makes them next
He is, in front of our faces, delivering Ukraine up to Putin as a gift.
But the other reason it matters is bc we SAW this call-and-response in '16 & '20, when Trump got help from Russian spies
Khrystyna and Svitlana were singing in the street in Zaporizhzhia an hour before a Russian missile strike on the city, and this video of them was filmed.
One of them died yesterday at the site of the strike. She was 19 years old. The other girl died in the ICU today. She was 21.
Knowing US MAGA Republicans, Donald Trump, and House Speaker Mike Johnson have procedurally blocked all US military aid to Ukraine, Putin is depleting Ukrainian Air defenses by overwhelming it with missiles; 110+ Russian rockets last night alone across Ukraine!

For those of you who thought this story wasn’t being carried by MSM, it is. I’ve seen it everywhere.
AFP—President #Biden slammed as "appalling and dangerous" comments by Donald #Trump downplaying US commitments to #NATO, warning Sunday that the former president intends to give #Russia leader Vladimir #Putin "a greenlight for more war and violence."
"And if Mr Putin and the Russian officials are worried about their troops in Ukraine getting hit with weapons from other countries, then the easiest thing to do is just take your troops and leave"
Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the presidential nomination from the Republican Party of the USA, who is in the top three in terms of popularity among Republican supporters, promises to recognize the Russian occupation of Ukraine and block its path to NATO if elected president.
Today is a day when there definitely should be no silence. And we definitely need leadership.
Today the world saw that the bosses of Russia do not control anything. Nothing at all. Complete chaos. Complete absence of any predictability. And it is happening on Russian territory, which is fully loaded with weapons.
The world should not be afraid. We know what protects us. Only our unity. Ukraine will definitely be able to protect Europe from any Russian forces #Ukraine️ #Russia#Putin#EU#NATO
