Great article! Thank you!

A minor quibble. I wouldn't call the American white nationalist / far right cowards. I don't feel that's accurate and it's letting them off the hook way too easy. I think their obstructionism is borne more from hatred, anger and a desire to dominate. Nothing admirable about cowardice but those latter traits are far more morally reprehensible.

Side note. I can't believe I bought JD Vance's book when it came out. I feel like it's one of those acts that's never going to stop popping up in my head with a burst of shame.

Just to be clear, I think the majority of the Republican Party — the 90% who previously voted for Ukraine aid with enthusiasm — are cowards. The 10%, as I wrote earlier this week, at least had the courage to announce their positions, instead of offering half-baked ass-covering statements.
