And I'm really curious. You know, here we are, we roll out the red carpet for Vladimir Putin. We belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in the White House. He has no cards, right? Well, here we are a year after that. Looks like he had a couple cards to play, 'cause Ukraine is actually winning against Russia. Ukraine, a sovereign democracy standing up against a brutal, oppressive, coercive dictatorship, and we can't even bring ourselves on a consistent basis to say, "We are with Ukraine, and we are against what Putin is doing," and stand up and support them.
