Indeed. Putin is the root cause of this crisis.

“I don’t want to drag NATO into that” is not exactly a smackdown. It’s a polite refusal to support the idea.

Note that the motion is not against the idea of ReArm Europe, but opposes financing it with Eurobonds.

You are right, of course. But that is deeply concerning.

And I don’t understand why anyone is allowing them to do this. It’s clearly anti-democratic abuse.

That just means they need to open more places to vote. One shouldn’t have to go far or wait more than a few minutes in order to vote. That the US allows these scandalous practices is beyond belief.
