It appears that I am ill-informed of Ms Machado's objectives. (I should have done my homework) She is actually a Trump sucker, like his sycophants in the US. Given that in the past murderers like Kissinger and Begin have been awarded the Peace Prize, I am not surprised at all.

‘Our job is to maximise their losses’: how Ukraine’s forces attempt to claw back against Russian advances

Along Donetsk’s frontline, a small counteroffensive by Ukrainian troops aims to help change perceptions about the war among Kyiv’s western allies As Donald Trump prepared to meet Vladimir Putin in Alaska in August, Russia launched an offensive in eastern Ukraine. Small groups of soldiers pushed forward near Dobropillia and, meeting little resistance, they advanced 15 to 20 km and seized a chain of villages. It is a small pocket of land, but one that has driven perceptions of the war in the last months. At the time of the Alaska summit, it was seen as proof that Russia had momentum; as Ukraine had taken back territory – albeit in the context of Russian advances elsewhere – it may have contributed to Trump’s dismissive assessment of Moscow’s military as a “paper tiger”.

The Trump administration is clearly pushing ICE to cause some sort of truly violent confrontation in Chicago. Expect them to continue to escalate their attacks until something really awful happens.

President Trump was prepared to give the go ahead to Netanyahu to finish off his Gaza genocide plan. We all know that the first rule of any negotiation position is that one should always threaten consequences that one is prepared to unleash. Trump was prepared to take active part in the genocide.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
