I don’t think JD Vance meant to be dismissive of British and French military support in Iraq and Afghanistan. He just didn’t pause before opening his mouth. The people round Trump think they’re the masters of the universe at the moment. I don’t imagine it’ll last.
Dear Mr Vice President @JDVance, 34 years ago today I was released from captivity with the fellow American #DesertStorm Prisoners of War I had proudly fought alongside. Many friends, Brit & US, didn't survive.
Fellow veterans politely add your own photos & details, & tag the VP?
It’s been 4 years since Sarah Everard was abducted, raped, and murdered as she walked home. It was a crime that brought the issue of male violence against women to the forefront of public discussion. Yet, 4 years later we’re still as unsafe as ever.
There is an aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.
By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.
Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.
It’s time for cool heads and to remember that the US and Ukraine are on the same side.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has led his people heroically for three years against completely unprovoked aggression from Russia.
The bravery of the Ukrainians has been amazing. Their suffering has been appalling.
It is they who deserve our support and they who frankly deserve our respect.
The best way forward now is for the minerals deal to be signed as soon as possible. There is still a path to peace.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
