“Anti-Ukraine voices in Congress, the Administration and the pundit class cite Kyiv’s corruption as worthy of unique condemnation.” But they are simply using it as an “excuse to abandon Ukraine,” which they hold to an artificially high standard. “Corruption deserves to be policed and punished. But U.S. support for Ukraine deserves to be judged by overall American interests, and the highest interest is national security.”

“Thursday’s results mean there’s only one way forward: ask the people…. Both Labour and the Tories saw votes that have previously been cast for them move elsewhere, above all to the parties that want us to stay in the EU. Parties that have advocated some form of deal that involves leaving the EU–the Tories and Labour–were punished across the country. They lost seats and they lost votes.”
