In January alone, Russia launched more than 6,000 strike drones, about 5,500 guided bombs, and 158 missiles of various types against us. Almost all of this is against the energy sector, railways, our infrastructure, everything that supports normal life, 🇺🇦 President Volodymyr Zelensky.

FAFO’s announcement underscores that Trump, Miller, etc have moral if not legal responsibility for the mayhem and deaths that ensued. Perhaps the DAs’ engagement will prompt ICE to change approach, if only out of fear that they will end up as defendants in state murder trials.
