В Украине не было выборов, значит президента у нас нет, а значит можно не выполнять приказы. Олёна Зеленская даже не нашла слов соболезнования для украинцев потерявших своих близких.... Украинские военные просто снимаются с позиций, не желая воевать за Зеленского.

I just heard that the bill passed for the Ukraine aid in Congress. Mr. Johnson I take it all back for now. You did a good job today! And that’s what you’re there for thank you. Hope it stays that way.

no wall, then no war if Ukraine wants American weapons, then LET UKRAINE PAY FOR THEM. It is time for Europe to start defending itself.
