This was a move showing great contempt of Congressional authority. Essentially, he’s saying, “Either you vote to further promote war in Ukraine, or we will go around you and support the fighting directly.” When I first read the headline, I thought he meant he would deploy troops to DC, lol.
And of course, his premise is a lie. He knows Russia hasn’t the least interest in taking over Ukraine. They know what a night mare trying to control an unwilling population would be on Russia. The Russian - speaking areas, yes, they will want to keep those after all the lives and money spent, and to avoid having this all happen again. But they will settle for a neutral Ukraine, although apparently US/NATO won’t.
putin still is evil. He owns his attempted war of conquest!
and he has managed to harm russia as well
evil is stupid
