“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

@RandPaul So we have tariffs against our allies, but waiving them against our adversaries is a good thing? Make it make sense.

BREAKING: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson unleashes a SCORCHING attack on Trump and his disgusting cozying up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump's skin...

"I thought I’d never have to say this in my lifetime, but this is 2026, and sadly nothing is what it used to be," Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, wrote on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an appeaser to autocrats and dictators, putting their personal whims before the best interests of the American people and those of the free world. What is it about Putin that President Trump fawns over?"

"How will America’s allies ever be able to trust this administration again when they are now turning against them at a time of war and suffering?" he asked.

Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a stunning deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel into the global markets, a move that will directly pump money into the Russian war machine. Then, he began a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy and said that Putin is easier to deal with.

The backstabbing escalated when Washington failed to provide its usual early warning to Kyiv of an incoming Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears that the White House ordered a temporary disruption of Starshield, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink that the Ukrainian armed forces rely upon.

"The slowdown of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable lack of advance warning of Russian missile launches have already caused Ukrainian civilians to die unnecessarily," wrote Branson. "How much worse can it get?"

"If one thing is clear it’s that European leaders must overcome the initial shock about Trump’s recent actions and step up to the plate. It’s as much about Europe’s freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "All options should be on the table now, from the transfer of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine to the delivery of advanced weapons systems such as Germany’s Taurus."

"Why oh why is this happening? We cannot let the free world be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.

We couldn't agree more. Trump is an enemy to Ukraine, an enemy to democracy, and an enemy to the American people. When Democrats retake power, we have our work cut out for us. Every last trace of this monstrous man's legacy must be erased.

Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is Putin's puppet!

@DarrenH1911 @GenFlynn @POTUS The only reason the war is still waging is Russia continues to try to invade a sovereign country.

[Phoenix Rising @🏠 @SystemSafetyPro]

@GenFlynn @POTUS The majority of Americans do support Ukraine and their continued sovereignty. You seem to conveniently forget Russia is the invader, and the US made a promise to protect Ukraine from invasion in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons. There was no timeline on the promise.

@RadioFreeTom @atrupar It takes a certain type of derangement to believe the 💩 Trump spits out, but too many do.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

You can argue that he's just lying for the crowd, but it takes a certain kind of derangement to talk this way - and it's even possible that he believes it.

@TheRickWilson Remember he can’t pardon her for state crimes.

Besides, the first thing he’ll do is pardon himself. (Thankfully the same pardon restriction goes for state crimes.)
