#Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja #Kallas was asked what was preventing the free world from doing more to help #Ukraine:
"Fear keeps us from supporting Ukraine. Countries have different fears, be it nuclear fear, fear of escalation, fear of migration. We must not fall into the trap of fear because that is what #Putin wants. He wants us to be afraid and not support Ukraine out of fear."
"Let's be decisive and not let our adversaries dictate our future,"

that's nice Pentagon. but couldn't we have done this a little bit sooner before all the #ElonMusk#Putin bootlicking on terminal access? it's an #American company
