I've been anti-war as long as I can remember, but I absolutely support Ukraine's desperate efforts to defend itself, and, by extension Europe. It's not like we've ever balked at military spending before, so I'm happy to send them every possible armament.

Although I think President Biden is doing as good a job as could be expected, I agree we need someone younger, with new ideas (and a modicum of personality). Democrats have a deep, deep bench; off the top of my head I like Stacy Abrams, or--dark horse alert--Al Franken.
