The situation in Kyiv is dire. Thousands of families are without heat and electricity following russia’s repeated strikes on critical energy infrastructure. These attacks are deliberate attempts to freeze Ukrainians into submission. Help stop this: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-nigh…

Is "Die Hard" a Christmas movie? In Estonia 🇪🇪, there is no debate. This year, and every year, Estonians watch "Die Hard" for Christmas. All five films, five nights in a row. Happy Holidays! 🎄

MAGA voters on Ukraine: *62% support sending weapons to Ukraine (compared with just 53 percent of non-MAGA Republicans) — a 15-point increase since 2024 *78% support selling American-made weapons to European allies, who would then provide them to Ukraine — the policy Trump has implemented. *61% support “sending long-range cruise missiles, like Tomahawks, to Ukraine, which would give [Ukraine] the ability to strike deep inside Russian territory” *74% see Russia as an enemy, while 73% consider Ukraine an ally. *61% don’t trust Russia to abide by the terms of any peace deal. *63% back “providing Ukraine with a collective defense commitment, which would obligate the U.S. and European allies to respond with military force if Ukraine is attacked again, like the U.S. commitment to NATO members.” *73% support the creation of an “international force to police a demilitarized zone between Ukraine and Russia” that would “consist of European troops on the ground, backed by U.S. air power.” The anti-Ukraine right is completely out of step with the MAGA movement.

The Senate Appropriations Committee has formally noticed a hearing for next week on kidnapped Ukrainian children. Will be chaired by Lindsey Graham, who has legislation that would designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism if the 19,000 Ukrainian children abducted since the start of the war aren’t returned. We scooped plans for the hearing in yesterday’s AM edition: punchbowl.news/archive/112525…




Good old times of the American foreign policy
