I am appalled how many Russians (per the chart above) feel national pride regarding Ukraine offensive.

My correction: Kurt Volker is the proper spelling... I added a "c" -- now changed on the website when you share this

I'm worried that not enough 'commentators', media outlets and pundits discuss the implications of a republican control of the Congress or worse capture of the Presidency again. It seems to me that Putin is waiting for his cohorts in the republican party to gain more political power here so they can stifle/oppose American support of Ukraine. Please comment !

Trump. The USA needs a more open mind.

As President he showed how that job could succeed.

Biden is showing how a poor President's policies can foul things up.

Less than 300,000 trained soldiers took Normandy. These Russians might be older, trained, and fat.

I wish Trump was still there then we wouldn't have this problem.

Lots of moving parts which include American political rot - they don't have the leadership to inspire the 'redwhite&blue' to stand on their founding principles - you know the ones - that Trump squished like a cigarette butt amid applaud from his spineless puppets.
