Forcing Ukraine to give up more territory to the invading Russians will be Trump’s Munich 1938 moment. Don’t do it. It rewards the invader and like Hitler did in 1939, Putin will come back for more land later. This is very WEAK negotiating by the U.S. side.
@SplinteredLens@RepDonBacon Hard for those mineral rights to matter for us if we let the Russians roll over the territories they’re in. The main lithium mine that everyone’s jonesing about is in Prokrovsk
We must always support our democratic allies, especially when our main adversaries attack them. Putin is a dictator who has an absolute terrible human rights record. His buddies are also our main adversaries: Iran, North Korea, and China.
@DonJBacon has always been on the right side of history.

@KindeandTrue@RepDonBacon Hope you don’t have that same view when you call firefighters to your house “oh why don’t you become a firefighter then? Don’t make us do it for you!”
A critical point. Russia doesn’t have to divert defensive resources to protect its civilian population because Ukraine won't target them. It could, but does not. Russia, with full support from allies China, Iran, North Korea, intentionally targets Ukrainian cities every day.
On October 7, 1985, four Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Achille Lauro, an Italian cruise ship traveling from Egypt to Israel.
They murdered Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish American in a wheelchair, and threw his body into the sea.
It didn’t start on October 7th, 2023.
Amnesty International is very happy that an antisemite who threatened to kill “Zionists” is now back in the UK.
I’ve never seen a human rights organization morally decline as fast and aggressively as Amnesty. It’s mind blowing
It wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card to see the Palestinian Authority’s UN X account mocking Somaliland, a people who survived Somalia’s dictator, Siad Barre’s genocide.
