At Least Now We Know the Truth The truth is ugly, but itโ€™s necessary to face it.

โ€œTrump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to Americaโ€™s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular,โ€ writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. โ€œThe truth is ugly, but itโ€™s necessary to face it.โ€ theatln.tc/OBWzC38t

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
