In reply to the discussion: In an extraordinary display of public support, leaders from all over Europe and Canada are posting support of Zelenskyy [View all]

Most elected Democrats have spoken out. Unfortunately, The media is generally ignoring them.
Lets cut to the chase: The president of the United States is a coward who is Vladimir Putins puppet, Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps officer, told CNN. And the vice president of the United States is a pogue and a coward who is Donald Trumps puppet. Whether you voted for these puppets or not, just as an American, as a fellow American, its just embarrassing that the only hero in the Oval Office, the only decent human being, for that matter, is the Ukrainian, Moulton said. I mean, this administration is going to go down as an embarrassment in American history.
A sickening, appalling, dark day in American history, said Democratic congresswoman Yassamin Ansari. Trump and Vance are fundamentally transforming the United States in the most horrific ways now clearly a fascist, authoritarian oligarchy that abandons our longstanding allies in support of the worlds worst dictators.
Democratic Rep. Gregory W. Meeks, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs committee, said he watched the supposed leader of the free world throw a temper tantrum in the Oval Office. Trumps behavior is just the latest in a string of alarming gestures towards Putin in a dangerous pattern of deference to a dictator who seeks to undermine democracy worldwide, Meeks said.
Democratic Senator Jack Reed, ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the meeting a political ambush and a shameful failure of American leadership. President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine are fighting for their very lives and existence, he said. Unlike Donald Trump or JD Vance, I have traveled to Ukraine and seen firsthand the death and destruction wrought by Vladimir Putin against innocent people. To mock Ukraine and our allies is a travesty that only benefits Putin.

Everyone else gets it. We the People are in a quandary of untold proportions. Not betting on this.
