They know the people that hate trump support Ukraine so they reflexively cheer in the opposite direction out of spite.

Trump will hand Ukraine over to Putin right after he disbands NATO. It’s not hard to imagine a ground war in Europe as Putin advances west.

My mind is not even able to take in all that will happen. I hear anchors on MSNBC stating "facts" as they come in with dispassion and I am about to throw up.

Those who are not killed outright will be forced to leave at some point, as will those in the West Bank. The Palestinian people and culture will be erased as they are assimilated into other countries or just pushed by Israel into ever smaller territories, including the desert. Netanyahu was a big winner tonight, and if it was the Arab American vote that costs Harris Michigan, they will have contributed to their fellow Palestinians’ dire future.

were special operations Ukranian military. I don't think so, but actually, it would have made sense for them to try to make sure he would not become president.

This is tragic for them as well as for us. For the world, really.

The American people have collectively chosen to flush our own country down the toilet, but the Ukrainians have done nothing but bravely fight for their freedom and existence under terrible odds.

It's absolutely heartbreaking.
