@TheRestHistory@dcsandbrook I seriously could have listened to this twice. Tabby-Sandbrook is the spin-off we didn’t know we needed. Though, if you don’t follow it up with a 7 parter on Lord of the Rings, it’s not the Rest is History
Idea: Groups that have benefited from our freedoms…should defend them.
Our media should defend freedom of the press.
Our law firms should defend the rule of law.
Our businesses should defend the free market.
Our leaders of both parties should defend free and fair elections.
@petermeijer “You don’t get to today” - you mean a day on which all of Europe’s leaders had to race to Washington in unprecedented fashion to prevent Donald Trump forcing Putin’s position on Ukraine?
Remember: The entire Oval Office blow up was *literally* because Zelensky tried to warn Trump and Vance that this was coming -- that Putin's "diplomacy" could not be trusted. How much time was wasted? How many people died? How many people now blame Ukraine?
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
Here’s a picture of me, a European, security freeloading in Afghanistan as part of a US Army special forces task force.
Look! They even gave me a special “freeloader” badge to wear above my medals.
12 close friends and colleagues killed when they were there freeloading too.
It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others concessions before negotiations even started, Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin on Ukraine. 1/3
