This is the most important comment I have heard this week — Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk:
“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians […] Europe, if there is something we lack today, it is not economic or demographic power, but the belief that we are truly a global force.”
I think Tusk hits the bullseye here. Those 140 million Russians are already fully occupied by fighting Ukraine, and our leaders act like we are Liechtenstein.

Yes. It's so weird that rich nations cower before Putin. Russia is on the skids and more sanctions could crash their economy which is smaller than California. Why do people believe Putin's propaganda fantasies? That is why Biden not giving Ukraine everything they needed on Day One makes me absolutely furious!!
