If that means pressuring Ukraine to submit to Putin, so be it. I hope & expect Zelensky will tell him to fuck off.

One of the things that annoys me the most about Bluesky? The reflexive belief that SCOTUS is leaning in favor of Trump. 99.9% of the time from posters who don't bother to understand the posture of the case (interim docket v merits docket) or read the opinions.
