I spent most of my time as a #longtimefed more or less in the realm of soft power. It‘s another topic I can‘t possibly do justice to in 451 characters, except to say I know whereof I speak when it comes to this area.
Pulling direct aid from the developing world, especially in the cruel and abrupt way we did so, opens up a huge space for China to swoop in. But we “need Ukraine‘s minerals” to combat China.
Then we humiliate Zelenskyy in the WH.*
Susanita * I‘m sorry for putting this picture onto your feed. 12h
Tamra It‘s shameful and short sighted. 12h

dabbe Beyond shameful and disgraceful. This #ldf is evil. #ranttime 12h
BarbaraBB This was so shameful. Who‘s being disrespectful? I am furious 11h
Cuilin I am 😡!!!! 10h
DogMomIrene I‘m so ashamed to be an American right now. And I‘m terrified that 🍑 is going to lead us right into WWIII, but with an eye on those TV ratings🙄🤬 10h
Aims42 But yeah, women are too emotional to be president. Ugh. I hate it here. 😡 9h
ReadingVampire I am a U.S. Veteran, and let me tell you—I don‘t recognize this country anymore. I also work for the federal government, helping Veterans, and the cuts they‘re trying to make are insane. Beyond gross. Today is just another disaster with Zelenskyy. 😡😡😡 9h
AlaMich It was a set-up. You know trump has just been waiting for a chance to throw someone out of the WH and show what a real man looks like. 9h
Susanita @dabbe 🤗 9h
Susanita @AlaMich Yes. I‘ve seen that suggestion from Jay Kuo and others online. Meanwhile JD was sitting off to the side with an insipid grin on his face. 9h
Susanita @dabbe @AlaMich @Aims42 @ReadingVampire @Tamra @BarbaraBB @DogMomIrene @Cuilin I was out this afternoon (not shopping!) and on my way home I crossed over a major highway. There were people on both sides of the overpass holding signs and Ukrainian flags. I waved heartily. 8h
Aims42 @Susanita 🙌 Yay! I hope people were honking and laying on their horns too 💙🇺🇦💛 8h
ncsufoxes Zelenskyy is the one that showed the strength. He remained calm in a room full of bullies. Petty Patty & Bertha the Bully are the ones that looked like fools. They‘ll of course spin it. It‘s just astounding that he has made it clear who he stands with & the GOP will fall in line. It‘s like an alternative universe right now. 6h
ncsufoxes I should add no offense to anyone named Patty or Bertha. I just need to find alternative names besides swear words in our house. I feel like I want to vomit any time I use their actual names or hear their voices. 6h
dabbe @Susanita #allthefeels 💙🇺🇦💛 6h
Susanita @Aims42 from Bluesky (New York Times pitchbot): Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president. 5h
Aims42 @Susanita 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Nobody can make this make sense 5h
Susanita @ncsufoxes faux news was spinning it almost immediately 5h
