Now apply this approach to kids' playground. A 10-year-old bully breaks a 5-year-old's arm to take hold of his toy car. The teacher says: it's ok to keep the toy, because while hitting the other kid so hard he also hurt his own hand.
Wow. Trump suggests that since Russia "fought for that land" in Ukraine "and lost alot of soldiers" doing it, that Russia should keep it.
What a piece of shit.

High time to have @kajakallas clear voice back in the public!
Victory of Ukraine is a priority for us all.
The situation on the battlefield is difficult.
And that’s why we must keep working every day and for as long as it takes, with as much military, financial and humanitarian help as needed.

Lange Zeit war #Estland das wirtschaftsstärkste Land des Baltikums. Doch nun ist es seit 2022 in einer Rezession. #Litauen dagegen erlebt ein Wachstum von 3,5 Prozent. Kann es Estland den Weg weisen? ▶️ eurotopics.net/de/325886

My mother-in-law was on one of these ships as a toddler, trying to console her seasick mother. They worked hard and created a life for their families and community, never letting go of the hope to return one day.

Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody. It’s a tremendous diplomatic achievement, and we’re grateful that they’ll be back home with their families where they belong.
