It’s great that the Ukraine aid bill is FINALLY going to pass, but instead of simply passing the Senate bill, Speaker Johnson is making a number of very unhelpful changes to it. It’s completely unnecessary to be frugal and to try and save money. That’s the very LEAST of our concerns!

A Ukrainian explains that US aid is a matter of life and death.

CIA Director warns that Ukraine is in a very bad position.

Representative Greene wants the US to withdraw from NATO. Makes a number of other utterly bizarre proposals.

Poland causing trouble again.

Assassination plot foiled.

Czech President urges help for Ukraine.

““The West’s emphasis on escalation management has prolonged the war in Ukraine” permitting Russia to exercise a veto over NATO actions.

The alliance to protect Israel from Iranian air assault did not go unnoticed by Ukrainians. “This pattern of delays and half-measures shows no signs of changing.”

Elon Musk comes in for some deserved scorn. Starlink Is being used by Russians, though not through official, recognized methods.

After Russia launches a big June offensive, they’ll concentrate on the US elections.

Russia ramps up disinformation, falsely claiming Kharkiv faces Russian encirclement, urging residents to flee.
