CONNOLLY: “Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first. The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border! It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life! Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes. Will we rise to the occasion? Will we stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters who, for 1151 days have been holding off the depraved thuggish dictator, Vladimir Putin, who has respected no norms of warfare. He’s targeted children and hospitals and schools, he’s bombed — he’s bombed apartment blocks, killing thousands.”
