I don't think it's even a matter of "could" If they start messing with social security, Medicare, Medicaid, snap of which a Yuge portion of MAGA is dependent upon, the pitchforks will come out. - Daniel Nichols

Russia and the U.S. Ostracized Ukraine For A Reason. And That Reason Can't Be Good. 

In the first major negotiations for a ceasefire in Ukraine since Russia's invasion nearly three years ago, U.S. officials met with their Russian counterparts at a meeting in Saudi Arabia after refusing to include Ukraine or other European countries in the talks.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it. - Kelsey Hightower
