Thank you for clarifying what I, a casual observer, have found confusing in the rapidly changing events of the past few days/weeks. You're not a person to write jokes, but I laughed (and cried) at this, knowing who is coming to power next month: "The incoming Trump administration has an opportunity to help end Russia’s centuries-long imperial ambitions by fully committing to Ukraine’s military success.... By helping Ukraine secure its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the United States can ensure the collapse of Russia’s imperial aspirations, the re-stabilization of European security, and the protection of the global order...

But you know Trump will not back Ukraine to victory over his master, Putin. He owes Putin, and therefore will betray Zelenskyy.

A true black swan. There seem to be many of them lurking. Never say never. Thank you, Lt. Colonel!

Thank you Col Vindman. I mostly ignore the middle east, which is pretty darned stupid on my part. There are global implications that shouldn't be ignored.

I have been supporting Ukraine since the unjust and criminal Russian invasion began. One reason I supported Harris so strongly was because I knew that the Orange Cheeto's victory for president would mean a cut-off of funds and other support for Ukraine would begin on January 20, 2025. We cannot stand by and watch that happen. We must remain strong on Ukraine's behalf. Who will be next after January 20? Only time will tell, but it will not be good for any ally of the United States or for us.

Col Vindman we need someone to educate the press, to disrupt their « russia is winning » narrative. I follow the war very closely as I’m sure you do. The russian army are demoralized, robbing each other for scraps, and committing suicide on a regular basis. Victory is within our grasp, as they say, but you’d never know it by how the media on both sides are so irresponsible.
