This is something out of the 15th or 16th Century, not the 21st century. Ukraine is a disaster and this must end. America must stop funding this stupid war. Fight for peace, there is a viable and ready to go peace deal—have to get Zelensky out of the equation. He is the problem and every one who is clear headed on this war knows it.

Today marks five years since the bombing at Abbey Gate, one of the entrances to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. On August 26, 2021, in the chaos of America's final withdrawal from Afghanistan, a suicide bomber affiliated with ISIS-K detonated explosives in the middle of a crowd desperate to escape the country. Thirteen U.S. service members were killed. So were more than 170 Afghan civilians, men, women and children who had spent days standing in sewage canals and crushing crowds for the smallest chance of a seat on a plane out.

For too long, we’ve let the globalists and the weak-kneed elites sell us out to foreign powers who don’t give a damn about the American worker.

This isn’t just incompetence; it’s a betrayal of the American people.
