Two things can be true at the same time:
1. We shouldn’t be getting oil from Russia.
2. 65% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and are suffering from rising gas prices - and can’t afford a nice dinner out let alone to buy an electric car. Buying a new car isn’t an option.
China is watching Ukraine. If the West gives Russia a pass, it gives China a green light to take Taiwan. If Russia is stopped, China will take a very different lesson.
It would be the height of foolishness for American leaders to think that this is a minor incident that will be going away soon. The repercussions of this war are going to be long-lasting and felt deeper than anything anyone can anticipate.
World, meet Romanova.
She was there in 1941. She’s here again in 2022.
Please amplify her message: “We want peace.” 🇺🇦 #DemocracyNotAutocracy#StopPutinNOW
The state of our union is weak thanks to leaders who refuse to lead and push policies that hold us back.
But the state of our people is strong and proud. We are the same Americans we have always been: hard-working, unstoppable, unafraid to dream.
Our politicians at the State of the union aren’t wearing masks and I’m still trying to find a preschool in the DMV area that won’t require a 2 year olds to be masked.
Why are we purchasing nearly 600,000 barrels of oil a day from Russia when we have the ability to have affordable, reliable, & sustainable energy production in states like OK? American dollars should be spent here at home, not used to line the pockets of Russian oligarchs & Putin
Zelensky rejected U.S. offer to evacuate him from Kyiv - @washingtonpost.
President is in the capital, leading our nation through its darkest hour.
Earlier today, he told NATO leaders he might be killed, he’s not lying. I have so much respect for him. True leader!
Russian occupation forces are trying to seize the #Chornobyl_NPP. Our defenders are giving their lives so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated. Reported this to @SwedishPM. This is a declaration of war against the whole of Europe.
There is no reason to watch a Winter Olympics that is holding up and spreading propaganda for a regime that is committing actual genocide and ethnic cleansing - on top of poisoning the world and killing 6 million people.
Absolute shame on the international community for this.
