So called MAGA “Patriot” leaders wrap themselves in our flag while pissing on the legacy of our founding fathers and the constitution. A vote for The False Orange Savior is a vote for tyranny. Putin thanks all of the MAGA politicians via $$$ for their service in the dismantling of the “United” States of America. It is always hard to accept that you have been scammed. However, this is reality. Look up how Putin was trained to take down western governments via creating this form of internal cancer when he was in the KGB.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has a reckless plan for achieving U.S. global dominance: giving away other countries’ territory.
Ramaswamy is already under fire for his objectively terrible plan to let China invade Taiwan after 2028 if he were elected. Now, the presidential hopeful thinks that Russia should be allowed to keep the parts of Ukraine it currently occupies.
“Our goal should not be for Putin to lose. Our goal should be for America to win,” Ramaswamy told CNN Thursday night.
Ramaswamy said that U.S. involvement in Ukraine is strengthening the Russia–China military alliance—and the only way to break that alliance and bring Russia around to the American side is to give Vladimir Putin what he wants.
“I would freeze the current lines of control, and that would leave parts of the Donbas region with Russia,” Ramaswamy explained. “I would also further make a commitment that NATO will not admit Ukraine to NATO. But there are even greater wins that I will get for the United States.”
Ramaswamy seems to be under multiple false impressions with this diplomatic plan, the first being that the United States has the authority to simply give away parts of another sovereign nation. He also appears to believe that if he visits Moscow, he can single-handedly buddy up to Putin enough to convince the Russian leader to drop a highly advantageous military alliance.
And as anchor Jim Acosta rightly pointed out, Putin is unlikely to stop with Ukraine. He wasn’t satisfied with annexing Crimea in 2014 and now wants all of Ukraine. If he is allowed to keep parts of Ukraine, it’s possible that he’ll try to invade somewhere else such as Poland, a NATO member—which would require military intervention from the rest of the members.
This plan is just as bad as Ramaswamy’s strategy for Taiwan. Earlier this week, Ramaswamy proposed letting China take over Taiwan after 2028, which he believes is when the U.S. would build up its own supply of semiconductors. Taiwan produces about 60% of the global supply of semiconductors, which are microchips crucial to making all electronic devices.
Ramaswamy said he intends to dramatically up the firepower around Taiwan during his first term, to make clear to Beijing that they should “not mess” with the island until the U.S. has semiconductor independence. After that, China can do whatever it wants. It did not seem to occur to him that China would likely interpret these moves as acts of aggression and respond in kind. Nor does he seem to realize that it’s highly unlikely China would listen to his proposed arrangement.
But despite his only campaign points being battling “wokeness,” taking away rights, and, apparently, allowing authoritarian governments to do whatever they want, Ramaswamy is somehow rising in the polls.

Normally I don't post GOP ads here, but the sentiment in this one supporting Ukraine provoked discussion during the second Republican debate on Wednesday.
Of course I agree with the content; it's almost indistinguishable from what Congressional Democrats say about Ukraine. In terms of national security, aid for Ukraine is one of the best investments the US has ever made. And it puts the United States firmly on the right side of history. Assisting Ukraine to maintain its independence is just and moral.
The ad is aimed primarily at people like Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and the Putin Caucus on Capitol Hill. It probably caused Tucker Carlson to go into spasms.
At the Wednesday debate, Ramaswamy put his profound ignorance and naïveté on international display by saying we should let Putin have Eastern Ukraine to keep Russia from getting too friendly with China. I know, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever – but that's par for the course with Vivek.

March 18th, 2024 Update: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, U.S. Constitution, Human Rights, Civil Rights, Women's Rights, The Survival of American Democracy and the American Republic, and Easter 2024. Part 2/6: Hope, Alaska. Chapter 2/4: The MAGA Cult Messiah, his COVID-19 Anti-American and Treasonous Sabotage as a Distraction For his Coordinated SolarWinds Russian Hack and Exploitation of U.S. Security, Government, and Businesses, his Praise of the Taliban, and his Telegraphing of the October 7th, 2023 Israel Terrorist Attacks.
The Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense, which comprises a group of experts on national security and government officials, in which Gerstein had previously testified to, submitted its National Blueprint for Biodefense to Congress in October 2015 listing their recommendations for devising an effective plan.
Bill Gates said in a February 18, 2017 Business Insider op-ed (published near the time of his Munich Security Conference speech) that it is possible for an airborne pathogen to kill at least 30 million people over the course of a year. In a New York Times report, the Gates Foundation predicted that a modern outbreak similar to the Spanish Influenza pandemic (which killed between 50 million and 100 million people) could end up killing more than 360 million people worldwide, even considering widespread availability of vaccines and other healthcare tools. The report cited increased globalization, rapid international air travel, and urbanization as increased reasons for concern.
In a March 9, 2017, interview with CNBC, former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, who was co-chair of the bipartisan Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense, said a worldwide pandemic could end the lives of more people than a nuclear war. Lieberman also expressed worry that a terrorist group like ISIS could develop a synthetic influenza strain and introduce it to the world to kill civilians.
In July of 2017, Robert C. Hutchinson, former agent at the Department of Homeland Security, called for a "whole-of-government" response to the next global health threat, which he described as including strict security procedures at our borders and proper execution of government preparedness plans.
2017 U.S. budget proposal affecting bioterrorism programs: donald trump reduced funding for "protecting the nation from deadly pathogens, man-made or natural," according to The New York Times. Agencies tasked with biosecurity get a decrease in funding under the Administration's budget proposal.
For example: The Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response would be cut by $136 million, or 9.7 percent. The office tracks outbreaks of disease.
The National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases would be cut by $65 million, or 11 percent. The center is a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that fights threats like anthrax and the Ebola virus, and additionally towards research on HIV/AIDS vaccines.
Within the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) would lose 18 percent of its budget. NIAID oversees responses to Zika, Ebola and HIV/AIDS vaccine research.
In February 2018, a CNN employee discovered on an airplane a "sensitive, top-secret document in the seatback pouch explaining how the Department of Homeland Security would respond to a bioterrorism attack at the Super Bowl."
Timeline of trump’s Coronavirus Responses: May 2018: The trump Administration disbands the White House pandemic response team.
July 2019: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency left the post, and the trump Administration eliminated the role.
SEPTEMBER 2019: RUSSIAN SOLARWINDS HACKING AGAINST THE UNITED STATES BEGINS.
Oct. 2019: “Currently, there are insufficient funding sources designated for the federal government to use in response to a severe influenza pandemic.”
Jan. 22, 2020: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
Jan. 24, 2020: trump praises China’s handling of the coronavirus: “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
Jan. 28, 2020: “This will be the biggest national security threat you face in your presidency…This is going to be the roughest thing you face." trump’s National Security Advisor says to trump.
Jan. 30, 2020: "The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on US soil,…This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.” [Memo from trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro]
FEBRUARY 2020: RUSSIAN SOLARWINDS ATTACKS AND HACKING AGAINST THE UNITED STATES ARE AT FULL-FORCE.
Feb. 2, 2020: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
Feb. 7, 2020: “It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu… This is deadly stuff.” [trump in a private interview with Bob Woodward from The Washington Post made public on Sept. 9, 2020] doggett.house.gov/media/blog-post/timeline-trumps-coronavirus-responses
MARCH 2020: donald trump AND ALL ELECTED REPUBLICANS ENDED THE PROTECTIONS OF THE U.S. PATRIOT ACT THAT PREVIOUSLY PROTECTED THE UNITED STATES FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC (AND COULD'VE LEAD TO THEIR IMMEDIATE IMPRISONMENT, INVESTIGATION, AND PROSECUTION).

On donald trump’s Last Full Day as President of the United States of America, the United States Recorded at Total of 400,000 Covid Deaths as a result of him sabotaging the United States of America and the American people. The death toll of 400,000 exceeded any other country’s count — close to double what Brazil has recorded, and four times the toll in the United Kingdom. https://kffhealthnews.org/news/nation-records-400000-covid-deaths-on-last-day-of-donald-trump-presidency/

'Blood on his hands': As US surpasses 400,000 COVID-19 deaths, experts blame the Deranged and Destitute Dishonest Dementia Dummy donnie j. dump administration for a 'preventable' loss of life Besides being the first president to get impeached twice, connie j. chump will have a stain on his legacy with arguably longer-lasting consequences: He's the only American leader in a century with more than 400,000 deaths from one event on his watch. The USA crossed that somber threshold Tuesday, yet another reminder of how poorly the nation with the world's largest economy has fared during the coronavirus pandemic. As of 2:52 p.m. EST Tuesday, the COVID-19 death toll was at 400,022, according to the Johns Hopkins University dashboard. Not since Woodrow Wilson was in office during the 1918 flu pandemic – which killed about 675,000 in this country and 50 million worldwide – had a president overseen the loss of so many American lives. That total is fast approaching the 405,000 U.S. fatalities from World War II – thousands of them recorded when Harry Truman was president after Franklin Delano Roosevelt died in April 1945 – to rank as the third-deadliest event in the history of the republic. About 618,000-750,000 were killed in the Civil War of 1861-1865. Many public health experts and historians blame the trump administration for the extent of the COVID-19 devastation. “What’s so troubling about this loss of life is it was preventable,” said Dr. Steven Woolf, director emeritus of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University. “This is an infectious disease we knew how to prevent, and as difficult as it is, far easier to solve than defeating Nazi Germany. And yet, we did not mount a response to wage war against this virus as we have in these other situations.” Thomas Whalen, an associate professor at Boston University and an expert on the American presidency, is even harsher in his assessment. Whalen cited reporting by journalist Bob Woodward, who taped traitor trump on Feb. 7 acknowledging how dangerous the virus was even though he repeatedly downplayed its severity publicly. “He has, you could say, blood on his hands,” Whalen said of traitor trump. “He knew this was a threat and really did not do what was necessary to respond to it in a thoughtful and resourceful way.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/01/17/covid-19-us-400-000-deaths-experts-blame-trump-administration/6642685002/

Beginning in September 2019, a campaign of cyberattacks, now identified to be perpetrated by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (hereafter referred to as the threat actor), breached the computing networks at SolarWinds—a Texas-based network management software company. The threat actor first conducted a “dry run,” injecting test code into SolarWinds’ network management and monitoring suite of products called Orion. Then, beginning in February 2020, the threat actor injected trojanized (hidden) code into a file that was later included in SolarWinds’ Orion software updates. SolarWinds released the software updates to its customers not realizing that the updates were compromised. The trojanized code had provided the threat actor with a “backdoor”—a program that can give an intruder remote access to an infected computer. According to cybersecurity researchers, the threat actor was then able to remotely exploit the networks and systems of SolarWinds’ customers who had downloaded the compromised software updates using a sophisticated computing infrastructure. Since SolarWinds is widely used in the federal government to monitor network activity on federal systems, this incident allowed the threat actor to breach infected agency information systems. SolarWinds estimates that nearly 18,000 of its customers received a compromised software update. Of those, the threat actor targeted a smaller subset of high-value customers, including the federal government, to exploit for the primary purpose of espionage. www.gao.gov/blog/solarwinds-cyberattack-demands-significant-federal-and-private-sector-response-infographic
The Patriot Act was enacted following the September 11 attacks and the 2001 anthrax attacks with the stated goal of tightening U.S. national security, particularly as it related to foreign terrorism. Under donald trump's watch, in November 2019, the renewal of the Patriot Act was included in the stop-gap government funding bill. The expired provisions required renewal by March 15, 2020. The Senate passed a 77-day extension in March 2020, but the House of Representatives did not pass the legislation before departing for recess on March 27, 2020. Instead the Patriot Act was split into two measures as a means of explaining to the public that the Patriot Act would no longer openly be in effect. After donald trump threatened to veto the bill, the House of Representatives issued an indefinite postponement of the vote to pass the Senate version of the bill; as of December 2020, the Patriot Act remains expired due to the Taliban's favorite president: donald john trump.

'Their first question was: ‘What is going on? What is this?’ defense official says ‘Horrified’ Israeli intel officials ‘were shouting at US counterparts’ over trump leak Foreign Policy reports tense meetings between sides after president revealed classified info to Russians By Times of Israel Staff 20 May 2017, 1:25 pm donald trump’s reported sharing of a highly classified Israeli tip with Russia led to incredibly tense meetings between Israeli and American intelligence officials, Foreign Policy Magazine reported Friday. The Israelis reportedly shouted at their US counterparts, demanding an explanation for trump’s actions, according to the magazine, which quoted a US defense official. “To them, it’s horrifying,” the official said. “Their first question was: ‘What is going on? What is this?’” Meeting Russia’s foreign minister and ambassador to Washington in the Oval Office on May 10, trump shared intelligence about an Islamic State threat involving laptops carried on airplanes, according to a senior US official. ABC News reported that the information came specifically from a spy embedded in the terrorist group on behalf of Israel, and that trump’s reported leak had placed the person’s life at risk. Though Washington and Jerusalem have publicly brushed aside reports of the incident, behind the scenes top Israeli defense officials are said to be angry and concerned by the president’s actions. Beyond the possible danger to the source, FP reported that Israelis feared they had lost any further access to the spy’s intel. Shabtai Shavit, who led the Mossad in the 1990s, said that were he in charge of the intelligence organization today, he would not be inclined to share more information with his American counterparts. “If tomorrow I were asked to pass information to the CIA, I would do everything I could to not pass it to them. Or I would first protect myself and only then give it, and what I’d give would be totally neutered,” Shavit told The Times of Israel on Wednesday. “If some smart guy decides that he’s allowed to leak information, then your partners in cooperation will be fewer or just won’t be at all,” he warned. Danny Yatom, another ex-Mossad boss, told an Israeli radio station that if reports were accurate, trump likely caused “heavy damage” to Israeli and American security. But it’s not a threat some Israeli officials didn’t foresee. Even before trump took office, Jacobs said, Israeli professionals expressed concern that his loose lips would intentionally or inadvertently lead to Israeli intelligence being shared with Russia. That, in turn, might mean the intelligence ends up with Iran, a sworn enemy of Israel. https://www.timesofisrael.com/horrified-israeli-intel-officials-were-shouting-at-us-counterparts-over-trump-leak/
The Taliban on trump: "We hope he will win the election" and withdraw U.S. troops By Sami Yousafzai Updated on: October 11, 2020 / 9:30 AM / CBS News Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told CBS News in a phone interview, "We believe that trump is going to win the upcoming election because he has proved himself a politician who accomplished all the major promises he had made to American people, although he might have missed some small things, but did accomplish the bigger promises, so it is possible that the U.S. people who experienced deceptions in the past will once again trust trump for his decisive actions." Mujahid added, "We think the majority of the American population is tired of instability, economic failures and politicians' lies and will trust again on trump because trump is decisive, could control the situation inside the country. Other politicians, including Biden, chant unrealistic slogans. Some other groups, which are smaller in size but are involved in the military business including weapons manufacturing companies' owners and others who somehow get the benefit of war extension, they might be against trump and support Biden, but their numbers among voters is low." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taliban-on-trump-we-hope-he-will-win-the-election-withdraw-us-troops/
Former President donald trump praised the Taliban on Tuesday, August 17, 2021, calling the group “smart” and “good fighters.” “The Taliban, good fighters, I will tell you, good fighters. You have to give them credit for that. They’ve been fighting for a thousand years. What they do is they fight,” trump said on Fox News’ [Hannity] on August 17, 2021. The Taliban, of course, have not been fighting for 1,000 years, as the organization was founded in the early 1990s, though that’s the least problematic thing that came out of trump’s mouth during the interview. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/08/donald-trump-taliban-good-fighters-great-negotiators
On October 4, 2001, British Prime Minister Tony Blair released information compiled by Western intelligence agencies connecting Osama bin Laden to Afghanistan's Taliban leadership as well as being the leader of the al-Qaeda organization. The Taliban government gave a safe haven to Osama bin Laden in the years leading up to the attack, and his al-Qaeda network may have had a close relationship with the Taliban army and police. On the day of 9/11, the Taliban foreign minister told the Arab television network Al Jazeera: "We denounce this terrorist attack, whoever is behind it." The United States requested the Taliban to shut down all al-Qaeda bases in Afghanistan, open them to inspection and turn over Osama bin Laden. The Taliban refused all these requests. Instead, they offered to extradite Osama bin Laden to an Islamic country, for trial under Islamic law, if the United States presented evidence of his guilt. The Taliban had previously refused to extradite bin Laden to the United States, or prosecute him, after he was indicted by the US federal courts for involvement in the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. The Taliban deemed eyewitness testimony and satellite phone call recordings entered into the public record in February 2001 during a trial as insufficient grounds to extradite bin Laden for his involvement in the bombings.
In Rosh Hashanah message, trump says US Jews voted ‘to destroy America and Israel’ Former US president shares flyer from anti-Democrat lobby group listing actions he took on behalf of Israel and against antisemitism, urges Jews to ‘learn from your mistakes’ By Times of Israel Staff 18 September 2023, 8:34 am Former US president donald trump on Sunday marked the Rosh Hashanah holiday with a message to American Jews accusing them of voting to destroy America and Israel by backing his successor Joe Biden in the last race to the White House. In a post to his Truth Social media platform, trump shared a flyer from JEXIT, an anti-Democrat lobbying group. “Just a quick reminder for liberal Jews who voted to destroy America & Israel because you believed in false narratives!” declared the headline of the flyer. “Let’s hope you learned from your mistake & make better choices moving forward!” it continued. “Happy New Year!” In December 2022 trump shared a post on the Truth Social platform from far-right pundit and conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root, who wrote that the former president “did more for the state of Israel and the Jewish people than anyone in history.” It came at a time when trump was facing calls to condemn antisemites Nick Fuentes and Kanye West after hosting the pair at his Mar-a-Lago resort the month before. Root defended Trump over the dinner party in the post. In addition to sharing his article, trump wrote, “Thank you Wayne – You are great but how quickly Jewish leaders forgot that I was the best, by far, president for Israel.” “They should be ashamed of themselves. This lack of loyalty to their greatest friends and allies is why large numbers in Congress, and so many others, have stopped giving support to Israel,” he added. https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-rosh-hashanah-message-trump-says-us-jews-voted-to-destroy-america-and-israel/
In 2014 (the year before his candidacy), donald trump “helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.” Ivanka directly oversaw the project’s development. (New Yorker Magazine)

Look surprised…
Putin won the Presidential "election" with a majority of 87%. The meaning: if he serves until 2030, he will overtake Stalin and become the longest-serving leader of the Russian state since Alexei I, who served for three decades as tsar (1645-1676).
Putin is already the longest serving Russian leader since Stalin, who ruled for 29 years.
Who is left for Putin to overtake:
Peter I "The Great" reigned for 42 years (14 of them together with Ivan V).
Ivan IV "The Terrible" ruled for 39 years as Tsar (1547-1584).
Catherine II "The Great" ruled with a firm hand for 34 years (1762-1796).
Mikhail I served as Czar of All Russia for 32 years in the years 1613-1645.
Alexey I was Czar for about three decades from July 1645 to January 1676.
Stalin (1924–1953) and Nicholas I (1825–1855) served as leaders for 29 years.
Until his assassination, Emperor Alexander II ruled for 26 years (1855–1881).
This year Putin has already overtaken Alexander I who ruled for 24 years (1801-1825).

Trump says world's 'biggest problem' is 'nuclear warming'

Trump says world's 'biggest problem' is 'nuclear warming'
Tumblr media
Washington (The Times Groupe) – Former US President Donald Trump says the greatest threat to the world is nuclear warming, surpassing even global warming.
“Nobody talks about nuclear…the biggest problem we have in the whole world. It’s not global warming, it’s nuclear warming,” Trump told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview that aired Tuesday night.
“And all it takes is one madman…and it’s only a matter of seconds. You don’t have to wait 200 to 300 years for it to happen,” Trump declared.
Trump also expressed concern about Russia’s nuclear weapons capability and its impact on Ukraine. He argued that while many people talked about Ukraine‘s situation, Russia is “sitting back.”
“First of all, Ukraine is being obliterated, but let’s not even talk nuclear. Let’s say it wasn’t. Let’s say they were doing better than anticipated. If he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) decided to use his second form of destruction, which is nuclear, that’s the end of that,” he added.
2024 presidential race
In addition, Trump was asked if he would withdraw from the 2024 presidential race if convicted of any charges, including those involving Stormy Daniels’ ongoing hush money case.
In response, he stated that he would never drop out.
“I’d never drop out. That’s not my thing. I wouldn’t do it,” he added.
He also claimed that police officers and courthouse employees were moved to tears upon seeing him appear for his arraignment in Manhattan. TIMES OF OCEAN US ELECTIONS
“People were crying, people that worked there, professionally work there, that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody,” he said.
Trump was charged last week with 34 counts for allegedly paying “hush money” to Daniels before the 2016 election by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg.

Putin served in the USSR's spy agency for 16 years, between 1975 and 1991, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
I have heard from multiple MAGA friends and family members that they trust Putin more than any Democrat. This frightening political stance by people who believe that they are acting in the best interest of our country shows the devastating impact of Russian propaganda spread through MAGA politicians and pundits. I generally do not agree with the Democratic party’s platform. However, every vote for a MAGA politician who enables this murderous former KGB leader is a vote against the very freedoms that our country was founded on.

Tom Nichols at The Atlantic (05.23.2024):
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social today that he can free the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich from his unjust detainment in Russia—but only after he is elected president. Trump, of course, has a tendency to make claims in which he is the only solution to a difficult problem—“I alone can fix it” was part of his 2016-campaign rhetoric. But even by Trump’s standards, this is an odd assertion for several reasons, including the small detail that the Russians have denied any contact with Trump about Gershkovich. (The Kremlin even seemed to reprimand the former president: “Any contact regarding those imprisoned or convicted,” Vladimir Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said today, “must be carried out in complete silence and in a discreet manner.”)
In his post, Trump seems to be claiming some sort of special friendship with Putin. The evidence from their meetings over the years is that the two presidents are not personal friends; Trump, for his part, seems very much intimidated by Putin.
Donald Trump is playing politics with efforts to free wrongly detained WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich from Russia, with a provision: re-elect him back into office.

Apparently Ron DeSantis has decided to compete in the Kremlin Primary for the GOP presidential nomination. Will Putin switch his allegiance from Trump to DeSantis the way Rupert Murdoch did?
DeSantis is signalling that he is utterly clueless about doing anything other than screaming “WOKE!” at passing clouds.
Top Republican senators slam DeSantis for calling Ukraine war a 'territorial dispute'
Here’s all that anybody needs to know about the invasion...
If Russia stops fighting, that’s the end of the war. If Ukraine stops fighting, that's the end of Ukraine.
DeSantis is effectively taking the side of a communist KGB agent who is now dictator of Russia. Putin and Fidel Castro were old friends. Putin visited Castro less than a year after taking office.
Tumblr media
Those anti-Castro Cubans in Florida shouldn’t be happy about their governor taking the party line of somebody trying to re-establish the Soviet communist empire by force. 
@visegrad24 reminds us that playing footsie with tyrants is not a road to lasting peace.
