That bit went right by me the first I read the statement. Now I realize that they're sending us (or Donald) a clear message. Too bad he's to stupid to understand it.

I had a feeling this was going to be about Ukraine when I saw the list of countries involved, and I am very glad they are banding together to provide more help to Ukraine, considering what the Orange Hellbeast is probably going to do once he's back in office. I feel terrible knowing that President Elect Dumpster Fire would probably be happy to feed them all to Putin one at a time, and I just hope to hell he doesn't get the chance.
