Rubio on the Ukraine War: “One of the reasons why this war needs to end is because Ukraine’s electric grid is being devastated. One of the reasons this war needs to end is because every month 20-25,000 Russians are slaughtered as they try to advance in Ukraine. All of these are bad things.” Some people may call this bothsidesism, but both things can be and ARE true! Too much bloodshed across the board, and it’s a GOOD THING the U.S. is able to recognize that.

If you invite friends from Germany for dinner at 7, we arrive at 6:58. We are reliable, predictable, precise, and unsurprising. We are, in short, what investors like most. So the good thing about clichés is this: they tend to be true. So if you pick the core of this assumed Germanness, you might actually like what you get. Yes, we do have our own challenges, but Germany’s DNA proves to be rather helpful in the face of a world which is harder and harder to read and to predict.” So uhh… what are the clichés about mass unvetted migrant Arrived in Norway with my team.

We will also discuss strengthening our air defense and joint production. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine and a dignified path to peace.
