He forgot to mention:
1) Russia is no longer the Soviet Union
2) How does the US beat Russia
3) How does the US stay out of Ukraine for next 75 years.

This is a EU problem. This is not a NATO or US problem. We cannot continue to be the world's police force with our armed forces hands being tied by "Feel Good" military actions. Perhaps Mr. Marc Theisen should be the first infantryman stationed in Ukraine. Put his blood where his mouth is. fingers are.

When whistleblower Frances Haugen pulled back the curtain on Facebook in the fall of 2021, thousands of pages of internal documents showed troubling signs that the social media giant knew its platforms could be negatively impacting youth, and were doing little to effectively change it. With around 21 million American adolescents on social media, parents took note.

Now, families are suing social media. Since we first reported this story last December, the number of families pursuing lawsuits has grown to over 2,000. More than 350 lawsuits are expected to move forward this year against TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Roblox and Meta - the parent company to Instagram and Facebook.

A man who fatally shot two jailers in a failed effort to help an inmate escape prison is set to be executed on Tuesday evening.
