Ukraine is the battered spouse that finally responded with violence after enduring it. While I’d prefer there was no need for the violent response, reality is reality (and yeah, it’s grim and horrific)

War is awful, horrendous… and in this case, completely unnecessary. I’m cheering on a resolution and an end to all this. Ukraine found a weakness they can exploit, good on them - their survival is literally at stake. Only Russia can end this
Tree (@treemania.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s fair. But I think it’s “awesome” that Ukraine has found a measure of success in a war they don’t want and could end any point if Russia wanted to
Tree (@treemania.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes - but given their enemy is the aggressor and has actively made a point of killing civilians and their infrastructure, why should this be out of bounds? Ukraine has to find some advantage or face annihilation

Q for those w experience in politics or diplomacy: Is there *any* other example of a US prez, on US soil, letting a foreign leader control the mic for a very long time, in his own language, w/o consecutive translation, before letting US prez say anything all? I don't know of any. Humiliating.
