Great input from Sen Gallego. Yes, grateful for him and all Congresspersons who do work to maintain positive and meaningful U.S. influence and ties. As always thanks for the fact based hope.

I’m so glad I caught this interview Sen Ruben Gallego. Lots of warmth and competence comes through from both of you. I appreciate that Sen Gallego lets European leaders know that there is enormous support throughout the country for support and continued alliance and camaraderie among us Americans. Excellent interview.

I'm wondering if it would make good strategic sense for Hopium to support the AZ Dems.

Hmm. I am a constituent of Senator Gallego who spends hours everyday reading what is happening in government affairs, from sources far and wide. I contact Senator Gallego every day, and I NEVER hear a word back. And now I learn from YOU that he’s going to Ukraine. What is wrong with this picture? Thanks for this report!

Thank you for the great conversation you had with Senator Gallego. He is quite a Guy, and fought the Politics in Arizona to be where he is now. I am sure he will be a lot of good in the future! And I know he will have the opportunity to do more while he is in Ukraine. America's ties with Ukraine will always be there!

We need a lot of healing before we are ready to reach out to other countries!!! Get out of the bubble!!

We can't heal completely without involving other nations - rebuilding trust needs to be mutual.

Yes! The anti-democratic forces are international, and so must be the fight to save democracy.

Great conversation. I've always liked Gallego!! Is there anything going on that can get the money that was promised to Taiwan to them??

Ukraine is on my mind along with the abuse of political power by our dear leader. Senator Gallego is paying attention and seems to have a grasp on who allies are and who they aren't. Hooray!

Lessons are being learned in Iran but those leading their war "game" don't seem to be learning. Ukraine has so much to teach us. New techniques developed in mismatched conflicts must be understood. Ukrainians have lessons for us all.

Geography matters. Competence matters. Choosing loyalty over competence is a disaster we all should be learning from. It is easy to be cynical and harder to be hopeful. Trying!
