Some good perspectives/arguments:

That's the first time Tony Abbott has been associated with a good perspective/argument.Some good perspectives/arguments:
Because Biden is our president and has been absolutely awful on a variety of foreign policy issues by staffing our State and Defense departments with people like Wallander. Biden doesn’t want the price of energy to increase even further and hurt his reelection chances in November.So why does that Wallander 'character' still have a job(!)?
If Russia breaks through, this will be our fault. And then we will understand what we have lost. Everything that Ukraine is doing for us can be reversed. If Ukraine is defeated, we will find ourselves in a far more dangerous world. It will be a world where we can expect war in Europe and war in Asia. A world in which Russia can cut off the food to the Near East and Africa that Ukraine now supplies. A world without rules and a world full of nuclear weapons.

In today’s Guardian:Maybe it's just me, since I've never been fond of fascists, but luckily in 1941 the US didn't have people like JD Vance doing the math on whether the US should fight the Axis powers or just surrender after Pearl Harbor.
J.D. Vance: The Math on Ukraine Doesn’t Add Up
Trump made it very clear that he thought, you know, that Ukraine, and certainly Crimea, must be part of Russia,” Hill, senior director for European and Russian affairs on the US National Security Council between 2017 and 2019, tells David Sanger, a New York Times reporter and author of New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West
My first reaction was to laugh at this, but it's really sad.In today’s Guardian:
Trump thought Ukraine ‘must be part of Russia’ during presidency, book says
Ex-president ‘could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state’, former adviser Fiona Hill tells authorwww.theguardian.com
In Chornobyl, Ukrainians feel aftershocks of two Russian disasters: One in 1986, one in 2022
It’s been 38 years since a Soviet nuclear catastrophe made part of modern-day Ukraine uninhabitable. For elderly locals and workers at the ruined power plant, war added another chapter to the stories they tell.
…On the first day of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops poured over the border from Belarus into Chornobyl, occupying the nuclear power plant and the largely abandoned exclusion zone until they withdrew from the area at the end of March, 2022.
While there, the troops dug trenches in the Red Forest, the most contaminated land around Chornobyl, ransacked the power plant, looted buildings, and even pocketed radioactive material, according to locals.
Before Russian forces retreated from Chornobyl, Ukrainian officials feared the soldiers might disturb radioactive dust, or cause damage to the containment facilities, potentially leading to another disaster….
Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Thursday mocked a scheduled round of Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, warning that Moscow will not accept any enforced plans that ignore its interests.

This points to a strong advantage Ukraine has over Russia. Chips for autonomously finding targets are readily available, but denied to Russia.Paywalled:

I fear you are correct. Despite the Dems offering a backstop to keep Johnson in the speakership if he brings the Ukraine aid up for a vote, he instead decided to go to the home of The Former Guy and kiss the ring again. I see little hope for Ukaine on that front, much to my dismay. Looks like Woke Appliances (really silly, don't bother asking) will be on the House agenda instead. Likely anti-EV would come next, but not my focus here.Mike Johnson has decided that woke appliances are a bigger threat to the US than Russia.
I'm very sorry, you're going to have to hold the line until the new congress is elected. With any luck we'll be more helpful.
Just hang in there.
