One of the implications of a likely Republican surge in Congress is that many of them appear to be putinoid bootlickers who will be more likely to balk at continuing to supply weapons, training, and economic assistance to #Ukraine as it struggles to dislodge the invaders from #Russia.

As anyone who has thought about the past few decades of Russian invasions should notice, the only way to be sure this doesn't recur is to defeat them so soundly that it spurs internal political change.

This happened when #Afghanistan militias, armed with US-supplied weapons, sent the USSR scurrying home with its tail between its legs.

If we stay the course, Russia may be transformed into a good citizen on the world stage.
