But we shouldn’t be surprised. Every time they get control and there’s a dem president, the FIRST thing they want to do is shut down the government.
This is the guy I voted for and he represents my district.

Re: Way to go Joe

It isn’t our money. That’s true. But it was money we controlled and it was money under sanction. So we released the cash in exchange for hostages. It wasn’t a straight exchange of people for people. The question folks keep asking is whether that only encourages more hostage taking. I don’t know the...

BTW, the Russian fleet was supposed to leave Sevastopol by 2017, the Ukrainians were not going to renew the lease.

Obviously I do. The rocket is a mess - thirty-some individual rockets together, and many of them didn't fire. That's not reliability. Nelson's statement is just ass-covering.

There was no plan to destroy the entire Russian fleet or any ships outside of Crimea. Whether Crimea is part of Russia or Ukraine is one of the key issues at stake in the war. Many countries don't accept the Russian claim to it, including ours. The Ukrainians went ahead and attacked the fleet in Se...

Re: Elon Musk, rip-off King!

And now? And now we are assisting Ukraine in defense of their country. Rightfully so. There is no appeasement. Refusing to assist in an attempt to destroy the Russian fleet isn’t appeasement.
