That 17 miles Russian military convoy is a either a sitting duck for a properly equipped military, or a slow moving death knell for the people of Kyiv. Please help them! Civilians will be slaughtered! #StandWithUkraine 💛💙

Yes we must take Putin’s nuke threat seriously. But I’m not inclined to lose sleep (yet). Here’s my view as a diplomat who served in EUR—very preliminarily & subject to critique 1. If he tried, his generals wouldn’t let him. Do they want their families & friends wiped out?

As Russian forces invade Ukraine, Russian TV features Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo and Tucker Carlson praising Putin. Putin is evil. Every American watching what’s happening in Ukraine should know that.
