Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the U.S. and world are “in awe of the heroism of the Ukrainian people” in a letter inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address a Joint Meeting of Congress on Wednesday.

“America and the world are in awe of the heroism of the Ukrainian people,” Pelosi wrote in the letter. “In the face of Putin’s horrific atrocities, Ukrainian freedom fighters have inspired the world with an iron will and an unbreakable spirit — fighting back against Russia’s brutal, unjustified invasion.”

Pelosi’s letter, dated Tuesday, formally invited Zelensky to address Congress in-person as Ukraine’s conflict with Russia continues. The Speaker released the letter to the public early Wednesday morning, confirming Zelensky’s visit after several reports that said the Ukrainian president was expected to be in the Capitol Wednesday.

Zelensky will also meet with President Biden at the White House on Wednesday. The two are scheduled to hold a joint press conference following their meeting.

That just goes further to prove my point, a determined local populous will always eventually win against an occupation if the conflict is fought under the modern rules of war.

Americans aren’t even aware of where the Ukraine is on the map

Tonight would be an opportunity of a dying and desperate Putin to nuke DC, but that would be a favor to rescue the US from a totally corrupt government so it will likely not happen.

>you killed off hundreds of thousands of men in a useless war that could have been avoided if you had simply accepted Hitler’s reasonable terms, and given him continental Europe

And now we’re paying billions of dollars to militia groups that lionize hitler

Well at least we'd still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for us, and that ain't bad.

Even the Atlantic was warning against right wing Ukrainian extremist groups in 2019-2020. Then they suddenly fell silent once the war started. Of course, now Ukraine has banned the opposition so...
