Ukraine Just Humiliated Russia in the Best Possible Way - Paul Warburg



With Viktor Orban out of office in Hungary, Putin is panicking about Russia's war against Ukraine. Europe has finally officially approved their €90 billion to Ukraine. On top of that, NATO countries have announced €60 billion in military aid to Ukraine by the end of 2026. Together, these packages represent a decisive shift. It's not just "more of the same," but rather, this is enough aid to fundamentally change the way Ukraine can approach the war. I talk about the overall strategic importance of these packages, how this will help Ukraine leapfrog Russia in drone capabilities, why it puts Ukraine on the path to ultimate victory, and more. Learn why this is a decisive shift in the Ukraine War, and why there's little Russia can do about it.

Rubio and Vance will do a barnstorming tour of Europe demonizing Zelensky for not having held elections during the war and making it sound like Russia was the victim and was defending themselves by invading

2. The Ukrainian constitution states

that elections are prohibited during martial law, which has been in effect since February 24, 2022. It is a legal framework that aims to maintain stability and continuity of governance during times of crisis. Vance knows this as do any other administration representative. I really do wonder how much Putin has promised them and/or what he has on them.

You can bet that the attacks on Ukraine's credibility will increase. The tide has shifted in the war and Ukraine at present, is slowly gaining momentum toward victory. As this momentum continues, so will the attacks on Ukraine from adversaries. It pains me that included in those adversaries are members of our government. How far our country has fallen that some of us advocate authoritarianism over freedom. Has the severe pain, struggle, sacrifice and lives of those from the revolution to present been in vain?

Let's win the midterms, in a big way.

But MAGA Trump supporters and administration officials ignore that fact as well.

Yes, lets win big in the midterms and claw back the bailout money given to Argentina. Hopefully Milei will be the next authoritarian to fall.

Then only Trump, Putin, and Bibi are left and the CPAC and Turning Point dreams will end.
