Putin’s one tank victory parade is a timely reminder Russia can be beaten - Atlantic Council

Putin's one tank victory parade reflects the catastrophic scale of Russian losses in Ukraine and is a reminder that behind the facade of overwhelming strength, the Russian army is far from invincible, writes Peter Dickinson.

The people who are opposed to US aid to #Ukraine are fools who don't know what they're talking about, and don't understand the totality of the situation. Their ignorance on the matter is putting the US in danger, and making a future armed conflict with #Russia more likely. Aid to Ukraine isn't just helping Ukraine. It's helping to ensure the safety and security of #America, and the rest of our #NATO partners.
