Infrastructure, the russians trying to destroy the electrical grid and force the population into horrendous conditions. also, the bradley fighting vehicles which give them mobility on the battlefield and there are other supports that are essential. but president zelenskyy was extremely grateful to the american people and the administration for what he received. they have a very ambitious plan to continue to remain on the offensive throughout the winter and then to move, they hope, decisively during the spring. i think that s the way to go. time is not on their side in terms of the destruction that s being rent in ukraine and also the fact that the international coalition will eventually feel tensions. right now we re all together and we re supporting the people of ukraine. there is a washington post op-ed yesterday, former ....
Nancy pelosi used a lot of her skills, as you have recounted, of course, in your book about her, your great biography on her, her skills to get aoc, the squad, others in line to manage her caucus. does hakim jeffries have those skills? you know, i think hakim jeffries has shown considerable political skill starting with getting elected in this way, moving to a new generation of leadership in the house without a shot fired. that was, i think, quite impressive. also, it s easier to be in the minority than the majority because you are not trying to pass things with narrow margin as speaker pelosi was often trying to do. you are trying to be the loyal opposition to the republican side. and i think his relationship with mccarthy can t be worse than the one pelosi had with mccarthy. they were openly contentious with one another. i would not to see a big move for bipartisan in the house. i don t think that s the table that has been laid the next two ....
