“I do believe that the only viable way to respond to this tragic news is to provide more assistance, more weapons to Ukraine,” Edgars Rinkevics says, adding that “to some extent, the possibility of a better Russia, a more democratic Russia, currently lies not in Russia itself but in Ukraine.”

“I believe we still have this very wrong narrative that ‘we are going to support Ukraine as long as it takes.’ We should change it to ‘we are going to support Ukraine to victory, even with all the issues [and] problems that we now face: funding, a bit of fatigue,’” he says.

“But I think that this is a major, important message that the leaders of the free world should send: We will support Ukraine until victory.”

    This is the important line. All the US has to give is material, and Ukraine is giving their lives. Why the republicans are so afraid of russia is just so strange, they look like crying children on the world stage.

      The reason is simple

      They are either

      1. Facists who see Russia as their end goal and want to support it and make people think it’s normal.

      2. Russia has compromising info on them from the hacks during the Trump/ Hillary election where only Dem documents were released but the GOP was also hacked.
