In Ukraine,The United States under Trump is shamelessly working towards the same Orwellian “peace” as the Russians. Putin’s decades long investment in Western traitors is bearing fruit.
Responding to Zelensky’s call for an energy ceasefire, Kremlin spokesman Peskov cynically replied, “We are working on peace in Ukraine, not a ceasefire.” This, as Russia continues bombing Ukraine’s energy grid daily.

Things are really really bad when your media gets all caught up in the active Caribbean double tap murder du jour frenzy at the expense of the hundreds of thousands of less sexy passive global single tap killings.
It's great that the media, Congress is going all Watergate on one of Trump's many crimes, the 'double-tap' murder of 2 Caribbean sailors
But the reality is that Trump's death cult has killed hundreds of thousands, mostly through senseless USAID cuts

“…a Prime Minister who doesn't know who to ask, doesn't know what happened and doesn't know how to get information is a Prime Minister who cannot protect a country.” Preach Mickela.
When events this serious reach our shores, the greatest risk we face is a government that doesn’t understand the gravity of what’s happening.
