#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1 #Fresh #DemsUnited Keeping America First Supporting Ukraine IS about keeping America first, as the world's leading economy, financial center, business partner, as well as champion of Democracy. America has had great Republican and Democrat Presidents who led America through the greatest geopolitical challenges. Thanks to their dedication, judgement, and making tough decisions that were not always popular at the time we came out on top. Did you know when Ukraine declared independence from the collapsing Soviet Union in 1991 it was the 3rd largest nuclear power. Tactical & strategic nukes, ICBMs & silos, bombers, the whole nine yards, about 1/3rd of Russia's total nuclear arsenal. Ukraine willingly gave them up based on promises from America, Great Britain and Russia. Russia has not only betrayed its promise, it's taking Ukraine by force or will destroy it. Because Russia is Russia and Putin is Putin the West wants to stop Russia's advance, but it didn't surprise the world. But America betraying its commitments to Ukraine? Now that shakes the foundations of the free world, trust in America, and encourages greater alliances of anti-Democratic forces worldwide! President Biden understands the national security and economic stakes on the table if we abandon Ukraine and 75 years of trust. It's time for Republicans and Democrats to put America First!
@LMerritt1 To ignore and abandoned our allies only makes the United States weak.
@LMerritt1 ( #Ukraine️ did not have launch codes for those #nukes -- control stayed in the #Kremlin in #ruZZia )
@LMerritt1 Support for Ukraine is the right thing to do not only for Ukraine, but for America and Europe. Congress needs to grow up and realize their job is to keep Americans safe.
@LMerritt1 It is shameful what the MAGA faithful are doing. They are ignoring the fact that Ukraine is the doorstep to Europe, they don't seem to care that the obvious impetus of Putin is to stage his next war FROM Ukraine. Just shameful, we must protect our allies. #ProudBlueEditorials
