The US just potentially lost trillions of dollars, Europe has revived its arms industry and giving European manufacturers priority. US contracts are being pushed aside and European companies are now receiving record breaking orders.

These are the top companies surging right now.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland’s then-president Niinistö said that the masks had fallen.

If anyone was still clinging onto some kind of hope of Trump coming around on Ukraine, this disgrace of a press conference should make everything clear now.

Trump is anti-Ukraine. Pro-Russia.
