Russia Just Spit in Trump's Face, and It's Time They Reap the [Whirlwind]

 Bonchie; RedState   "Russia escalated attacks on civilian areas on Friday night, bombing residential neighborhoods with cluster munitions and using ballistic missiles to hit various parts of Ukraine's industrial base. Unlike past attacks, though, these are far more consequential because of what President Donald Trump threatened less than 24 hours prior."

Horrified to see that overnight attacks struck multiple parts of Ukraine - killing 11 and injuring 40 - including a double tap hitting first responders in Dobropillia. Recovery efforts are still underway. Civilians continue to bear the cost of this war. pic.twitter.com/3pOllPSC3K

"The Trump administration's Ambassador to Ukraine responded by noting that a follow-up strike was targeted at first responders in the Ukrainian city of Dobropillia. That was caught on video in a pretty harrowing scene." . . .

. . . "I want the war to end as much as the next person, but if Russia doesn't want it to end, then it should reap the whirlwind that Trump threatened. If Putin doesn't suffer harsh consequences as a result of his defiance of Trump, then Iran, China, Hamas, and others will act accordingly. I get that many on the right are hesitant to take a hard line because of the disasters of the past, but American strength has to be maintained. That doesn't mean the direct use of the U.S. military, but it does mean that when Trump tells Russia to do something or else, the "or else" part of the equation has to be backed up.

"Trump gave Putin a chance. I'd posit it was a more than fair one. Now, the Russian dictator needs to be reminded who's in charge here."
