“Downing Street said on Monday it expected “more than 30” countries to join a coalition to help secure a lasting peace in Ukraine, though British officials admit that *many would not be willing to put boots on the ground.*

#Britain, #France and #Australia have signalled they are ready to send #troops to help enforce a #ceasefire in #Ukraine, but all have warned that any peace could only be guaranteed if the US provided a military “backstop”.

…

A larger group of EU countries — including #Ireland, #Luxembourg and #Belgium — have not ruled out participating in a possible force, depending on the rules of engagement agreed and its #LegalBasis.”

It's the credo by which all #Republican politicians live by. From #SCotUS nominees lying about #Roe being "settled law" just to get onto the Court (then ending it as soon as they got on) to #DonTheCon telling his gullible #cult he'd "end #inflation and bring down prices on #DayOne (thx to his magical #tariffs). He didn't.

Here's a short collage of Candidate T**** promising to bring down prices "on #DayOne." (:34) #SuckersAndLosers

The #GOP packed the #SCotUS with his appointees who then ruled he's #AboveTheLaw.

That was the #Republican long game. They only needed to fill 5 seats (they have 6). They (arguably) can't be removed, and enjoy lifetime appointments. And just look how much damage they've done in just a short time:

They abolished the 1965 #CivilRights Act.

Overturned #Roe.

And declared the #Potus is Above the Law & can't be #impeached.
