Ambassador Nick Burns has it exactly right. Hundreds of @NATO troops died under my command on the front lines in Afghanistan 2009-2013. I honor their memory every single day.

Shameful comments. I visited NATO troops in Afghanistan. Denmark and Canada fought on the front lines with us and suffered major casualties. We need our allies but are driving them away.

Bravo!

At Davos, the audience rose to their feet after Zelensky finished his speech. It’s worth remembering: those standing ovations weren’t just for one man. They were for Ukraine. For the people he represents. For a nation that continues to fight, endure, and refuse to break.…



This!

Trump has forced all of Europe to discuss the completely invented threat of Russian annexation of Greenland and thereby ignore the actual Russian war and annexation in Ukraine. Very regrettable. In Davos, the paramount subject should be Ukraine, not Greenland.

Dr. Gladys West was a mathematician whose work on satellite geodesy models paved the way for modern GPS. She was a member of AKA, an inductee in the Air Force Hall of fame, and has an elementary school named after her. She passed away yesterday at 95yo. Tell her story. 🕊️

Amen

Dnipro - Ukraine 🇺🇦 2 men are playing chess... You can't defeate this nation❤️🇺🇦



Why?

If Trump is really concerned about stopping Russia from invading Greenland, so he thinks the US needs to annex Greenland first, then why doesn't he arm Ukraine to stop Russia, where they have already invaded?

As I was born in Sherwood, I belong to the moss, the roots, the stubborn oaks. That makes me an outlaw of optimism, trained in the art of quiet rebellion and hard-won hope.

There’s a lesson here.

A utility worker didn't destroy a small snowman, but moved it out of the way. He “evacuated” the snowman to a safe place and continued to clear the road of the piled-up snow.
