Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world. Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union—an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible. Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less. @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and @elonmusk have made clear who they are. Only fools—or Kremlin tools—would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

Dear Ms. Cheney, I’m late to the conversation, but let’s add some much-needed context to your stance on Ukraine by looking at the legacy you come from. Your father, Dick Cheney, had a long and influential political career: 📌 Received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War, citing “other priorities,” and never served in the military. 📌 Served in key government roles, including White House Chief of Staff (Ford), U.S. Representative (Wyoming), and Secretary of Defense (Bush Sr.). 📌 As Secretary of Defense, oversaw U.S. military interventions in Panama and Iraq (Desert Storm). 📌 Led Halliburton as chairman and CEO (1995–2000), a company that later secured massive defense contracts in war zones. 📌 As Vice President, was a principal advocate for the 2003 Iraq invasion, citing claims that proved to be false. 📌 Accumulated a net worth reportedly reaching $86 million largely due to Halliburton. These are facts. Neither you nor your father served in the military, yet he played a leading role in sending Americans into war—many of whom returned disabled, traumatized, or never returned at all. He and you profited immensely from the war machine while veterans struggled for the benefits they earned. Despite this, you now position yourself as a leading voice on Ukraine. Why should anyone take your stance seriously, given your personal and family history of benefiting from military conflicts? Talk about the biggest conflict of interest ever. So, before demanding action on Ukraine with emotional appeals, perhaps you should address the far more relevant issue: Why should anyone believe that your position is anything other than a continuation of the same war-profiteering playbook your family has long followed?

@DataRepublican @Liz_Cheney I simply want to know why we overthrew the Ukraine government in 2014, picked Zelenskyy, then proceeded to build all those biological “research” facilities there, what are/were producing? Tell me it had nothing to do with C19?.?. No trust left.

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.

Donald - This is the type of thing that demonstrates yet again that you are not a stable adult—and are not fit for office.
