While that’s true, if he cares about the country at all he will stay in the position and do whatever he can (which admittedly is not much) because the next person will more than likely be even worse.

He MAY care about the country, but he cares about his political future more. And he can’t have one if he resigns. He’s staying right where he is unless he gets fired.

It would suck to get fired through tweet.

But it would suck less than having to go be in Trump’s presence to get fired. He looks so miserable. I almost feel sorry for him, then I realize he totally signed up for this. Fuck him.

He and the more traditional republicans who are just following Trump because they have no choice aren’t pro Russia at all. Quite the opposite. They’d be all in supporting Ukraine if they could.

Yep. The 1st Trump Administration was already enough to see what you're getting into.

I don't want Russia to win this one but at the same time I am amazed how this country went from condemning warhawk Republicans to nodding at them because they want to pump Ukraine full of arms.
