I hope you understand where this is headed.
There will be a nuke exchange if we're not careful. Is there a fucking thing in Europe worth nuking the planet for? I mean I love it and all, but they haven't exactly done us any favors in the last 100 years or so...

It’s to our benefit to support Ukraine as long as possible.
