This isn't Germany. We'll be killed if we try anything. Or have you not heard of the Americans they've killed already for protesting? Anything seen as widespread uprising will result in mass shootings of civilians. Be thankful that you live in a free and safe country.

We're working through Congress and the courts to stop at least the diesel purchases. We'll succeed, as we have on many other matters. And next month, he will lose most of his power. Until then, all we can do is keep sending you our money, which we will.

Sending money?

The United States makes a ton of money from the PURL purchases. Every single patriot missile Ukraine uses is paid for by others. The US is an arms dealer. No more, no less.

Right now you are sending money to Russia to buy Iranian diesel for... What exactly? The US is a diesel exporting country.

I meant the money sent by regular US citizens to Nova Ukraine and other efforts to directly support them. Not what the government's doing. We give money, we send clothes, we've sent drones. Some of us have chosen to go and fight, others fight by resisting misinformation and propaganda efforts or by directly lobbying our elected officials to get them to do more. Whatever our government has done, our people haven't abandoned Ukraine.

Some of you do. Most don't.
