Why the **** is Russian media allowed in the capitol building? Its bad enough we indulge Fox News, but now we are letting Russia create propaganda in the heart of our government?

I'm sure if Trump manages to win in 2024 he will gladly hand Cuba to Putin wrapped in a bow. He'll probably help Putin in Ukraine as well.

This Ukraine situation feels like either it is going to blow up bigger than anyone wants or just fizzle out into nothing and be forgotten about in a few years.

Hopefully more the latter than the former as a new Cold War or even WWIII is not what anyone on either side wants.
