Adam Kinzinger and Mark Kelly: Dirty Little Secret

Because by the time he learns that he's either going to be fired or his time in office is going to be up, I guess that's a concern. But yeah, more than anything is this politicizing the military and just violating the Constitution.

I want you to think about that. So, yes, you'll read Ukraine lost 20 square kilometers or 30 square kilometers. When you do the math at that rate, it takes 100 years for Russia to overtake Ukraine. You also extrapolate the math and say at the cost of 70 million Russian soldiers. So obviously it's unrealistic for a defending country to win a war. All they have to do is defend.

They don't have to collapse the Russian government. They don't have to defeat the Russians in three months. They have to continue to defend. Ukraine is doing that bravely and heroically. If Donald Trump makes a decision, and I pray he does, to stand with Ukraine or at least give Ukraine what they need while we negotiate, there is no way Ukraine falls. And so, substantially, I've said this.

Ukraine is way outpunching its weight class. It still occupies territory of the Russians, the first time that's happened since World War II. And their fighting spirit remains strong. The one thing I'll say quickly is the Ukrainians have got to get a grip on their drafting age. They don't draft until, I think, 25 years old, which means 18 to 25 is not drafted.

And it's the whole thing is, well, we want to save our youth. I get it. But if your country collapses, you're not going to save your youth. We basically stopped drafting people about the time that Ukraine starts. That is a huge problem in Ukraine that they have to fix. And I expect that would happen, you know, with any deal with Trump probably.

I mean, look, this is โ€“ although it doesn't have quite the implications as like Michael Flynn would have had, this is like having Michael Flynn at that level. Joe Kent, he lost to Jamie Herrera Butler, my friend. She was a fellow impeacher. I mean, this guy is like โ€“ I'm not going to say neo-Nazi, but as close as you can get to that without being labeled that is about what he is.
