TAYLOR: President Zelenskyy is not asking for things right now. He is demonstrating that Ukrainians have things to offer. Ukrainians are offering drones and drone technology to United States. Therefore, Ukrainians are demonstrating that they're actually net provider of security.

trumpy and his toadies' new shtick is that Biden didn't foresee the need to preserve enough of a weapons stockpile for trump to engage in a new forever war he promised over and over that he would never start.
