Give Russia’s Frozen Assets to Ukraine Now (www.theatlantic.com)

A majority of Americans and a majority of Congress want to help Ukraine win the war against Russia, and to stop the spread of autocracy into Europe. A majority of people in the European Union and a majority of EU leaders want the same. But small minorities of lawmakers—some inspired by Russian President Vladimir Putin or his money, some bent on bargaining for other things—have managed to block or delay that aid.

On both sides of the Atlantic, the crunch has arrived. The far-right faction that now controls the Republican Party captured the House last year and has successfully blocked a new spending bill for many months.The prime minister of Hungary, himself a de facto autocrat, is also blocking an EU financial package for Ukraine. Eventually the European prime ministers and the Biden administration alike may well do deals and allocate the money. But in the meantime—and just in case they fail—there is something else that American and European governments can do.

You can say "asshole" on the internet. Trying to "censor" it by hiding two letters doesn't change the fact that you're still using that word and everyone knows it; if you don't like cursing then don't fucking do it, but don't pretend you're not cursing when it's clear what you were trying to say
