It’s bad enough the GOP voted down aid for Ukraine. Now, they’re meeting with the authoritarian regime of Hungry, Victor Orban. Why is the GOP infatuated with Dictators?

Besides the GOP’s inability to govern, pass fair voting rights and women’s rights, they’re obsessed with Dictators. Guess non of them is on Trumps enemies list?

Unfortunately, Putin is consolidating his Power. He’ll be re-elected and wants the Ukrainian territory not yet annexed, to vote for him in the coming Russian elections. This has been vetoed by the Zelensky & the Ukrainian populace.

In other campaigns, Putin is following in Stalin’s footsteps and bombing Ukrainian grain supplies. While he’ll hurt Ukrainians, he’ll also disrupt food and fertilizer going to the rest of the World. Food is being used as another weapon in Putin’s arsenal.

The Ukrainians deserve to be supported militarily by the US and EU. No time to waste.

Avdiivka, the eastern Ukrainian city that has seen some of the most intense fighting of the war, is on the verge of “imminent collapse” to Russian forces, according to a report. A dispatch in the Times by its former Kyiv correspondent said Ukrainian troops defending the frontline area were “starved of ammunition” and hamstrung in their attempts to repel the advancing enemy soldiers.

Olympic chiefs have been criticised for allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete next year as neutrals, outside team events and if they do not actively support the invasion.

The Finnish supreme court has blocked the extradition of a Russian neo-Nazi group leader who fought in Ukraine, Jan Petrovsky, warning of the risk that he could be susceptible to inhuman treatment, which is precluded under the European convention on human rights.
