#Trump One of the prerequisites for having had this royalty treatment for Putin should have been to have him cease and desist from threatening the use of nuclear weapons on anyone escalating support for Ukraine. Such threats either lack sincerity or represent a boundary that once crossed is ghastly!

Thank you science. Thank you vaccines.
