@SecRubio This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.
@lena4berger Genau. Frankreich und Großbritannien schauen dann einfach zu, lassen sich bombardieren und heben sich ihre Atomwaffen für den 4. Weltkrieg auf. Not. Der Russe mal wieder 🤪
All know that a strong America is the best ally of peace—the world’s avaricious dictators of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are hesitant to invade and brutalize in the face of 1) American strength and 2) American resolve. Our tepid response to Russia’s invasion of Georgia and Crimea surely contributed to Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
American strength is greatest when we have friends that stand with us; we must not let economic squabbles fray the bonds of our alliances.
American resolve is greatest when we stand with the victims of oppression and invasion. After Russia invaded Ukraine with hundreds of tanks and hundreds of thousands of troops, America - together with Europe - rallied to give Ukraine the weapons and aid to defend itself. Three years later, Russia continues its brutal assault. We must not let personal squabbles weaken our resolve to stand with the freedom fighters and to oppose the authoritarian aggressors.
Lasting peace will only be achieved if America demonstrates strength and resolve and if Ukraine is certain that it will not be invaded again. Anything short of that would elicit only temporary celebration; it would open the door to global conflicts that we may be unable to contain.
Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin -- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight ... Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."
Rosenmontag und wie angekündigt ein Attentat, wieder ein Auto als Tatwerkzeug. Schon 2 Tote, 25 Verletzte, abgetrennte Körperteile liegen auf dem Asphalt. Der Kinderkarnevalszug ist in Mannheim sofort abgesagt.
Wieviele Tote braucht es noch, bis die Grenzen endlich zu sind und wir konsequent abschieben?
Stattdessen landet am Mittwoch der nächste Flieger und bringt weitere Migranten auf Staatskosten nach Deutschland.
Ich habe genug von dieser Regierung und jeder weiteren, die das nicht konsequent bekämpft. Es ist Krieg auf unseren Straßen. Und während in Mannheim Leichenteile auf der Straße liegen werden anderswo Menschen verhaftet und angezeigt weil sie die Innenministerin beleidigt haben sollen. Jene Frau, die für die Sicherheit zuständig ist. Keine Pointe.
There is an aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.
By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.
Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.
Pennsylvania is the proud home to over 150,000 Ukrainian and Ukrainian American people. Some have planted roots here for generations – and tens of thousands are here to find safety after fleeing Vladimir Putin’s aggression.
My statement on today's White House meeting with President Zelenskyy:
Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy.
Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
