New in PN: Retire in peace
"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?" https://t.co/XWataucoHy
All the talk about a ceasefire should not obscure the fact that Russia is bombing Ukrainian civilians daily and relentlessly. As a result of the US position change, it feels total impunity and that it will get away with anything. Why would it want to stop its aggression?
