The video is of tweens begging the man recording them to leave them alone. It’s clear the girls have been abused and/ or harassed before. But right off the bat if a 12 yo girl is screaming at the camera man to “leave me alone, I’m only 12.” We can get a pretty clear picture of who is in the wrong. Then the camera man is revealed to be a gypsy. One who has a lot of social media depicting himself as exactly the type of man who would harass 12 yo girls as they walk down the street.

There is no place for hyphenated Americans. Here’s what I think, as an American: The decision to stop funding the war in Ukraine was premised on the belief that reducing American support would hasten peace. It has done the opposite. The war has grown more deadly, more destructive, and more entrenched. That outcome reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of leverage and of our own interests. I want this war to end. Everyone who understands the human cost of combat does. But wars do not end because we wish them to. They end when one side concludes it cannot achieve its objectives at an acceptable cost. Until Putin reaches that conclusion, the fighting will continue, regardless of how deeply we all desire peace. Withholding support from Ukraine did not create leverage over Russia. It created opportunity for Russia. It signaled uncertainty, rewarded persistence, and reinforced the belief that time and pressure will eventually fracture our resolve. That is a path to a longer and more dangerous war. There is also a strategic reality that has been too often ignored. Much of the support provided to Ukraine did not simply sustain a nation under attack. It helped begin to revitalize a brittle defense industrial base that had been allowed to atrophy for decades. That investment, led in large part by Congressional Republicans, strengthened the US and directly contributed to the operational success we have since achieved elsewhere, including in Epic Fury. If the objective is truly to stop the killing then the task is not to weaken the victim but to convince the aggressor that victory is impossible.
