I am Belgian, living in Belgium. I visit the US about 5 or 6 times per year. I will not set foot in a country again where I do not feel safe as a gay man and where half of the population is cruel, and racist to a fascist extent! Many people around the world think the same way.

While it absolutely guts me to read this as an American, I fully support you. I wouldn't want you, or anyone, who could be marginalized, or in an unsafe environment, to come here & risk your life, let alone your peace of mind. Know that we are resisting, blocking, protesting, fighting back. 🌊🙏🏼💙

The world has the U. N., NATO, and others that can pick up the slack. The U.S. had sent close to 200 billion dollars to Ukraine, though Zelensky claims to have only gotten 75b. They can afford to fund their own "international effort".
