Unfortunately they also want to stop helping Ukraine defend against russia. So they're a no-go.

That's a sentiment that will only continue to increase for as long as the war remains a stalemate and we don't see any results for the billions we're pouring in.

The result is the prolonged lives and freedoms of every single person the wretched fascist Putin wants to destroy. I dare you to tell a single child in Ukraine that keeping them alive is too expensive. We stand united.
