Real life isn't pretty. We should stop trying to hide the ugly side. Do not glorify it, learn from it.

They're trying to save money by not following the law. That money is already legally earmarked to be spent. The executive branch does not have the authority to override the law. In fact, they have a DUTY to follow and uphold the law.

Having been assigned in Europe for 12+ years, I saw a lot of classified intel & experienced a lot of interaction w/ Putin and the Russian military. The Russian government is a mafia. Europeans know it & we keep failing to understand it. They don't "negotiate." Putin & his army must be beaten.
