U.S. Democrats should negotiate a deal with Republicans to reach a compromise on aid for Ukraine as a Russian victory would ultimately weaken the U.S., former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview with Politico released on Jan. 17.

    They’re from NATO and obviously don’t have great understanding of the political landscape in the US.

    We’re so fucked now because Democrats have been compromising with zealots and reactionaries for a couple decades now. Any compromise at this point comes with more corporate tax breaks or removal of oversight from some sector or another (see the child tax-credit bill that just passed).

    I agree with the sentiment, and hope a deal gets done, but compromising with Republicans tends to weaken our citizenry.
