North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis compares Stephen Miller to LotR’s Grima Wormtongue: “He uses whispers and false flattery to control the King’s decisions, all while secretly serving Saruman…a classic example of a sycophant who uses his position to poison a leader's standing for his own benefit. “

You don’t actually think Trump encouraged Iranians to die and then abandoned them just to wait for the perfect moment to use Iran against domestic opposition, do you? That would be truly sick.
So, Trump is going to bomb Iran to change the news cycle from Epstein, isn’t he?

Russia is getting fewer weapons and ammo from North Korea.

Ananlysts at NK news report far fewer ships visiting the closed-state in January to pick up materiel.

Reasons are not clear, but speculation is endless!

De EU overweegt in haar komende sanctiepakket de prijslimiet voor Russische olie te vervangen door een volledig verbod op maritieme diensten voor het transport van 🇷🇺 olie, waaronder verzekeringen, scheepvaart en financiering.

Dat zegt een anonieme bron tegen de @kyivindependent.com:

It’s convenient for Russia to scale back strikes on Ukraine during the warmer period, using the time to build up missile and drone stockpiles and prepare for renewed heavy attacks when colder weather returns.

Trump will applaud the gesture

Foreign nationals convicted of serious offenses, such as aggravated assault and rape, will be expelled from Denmark. This measure is part of a new plan by the Danish government to tighten immigration policy.
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think all European countries should proceed this way.

Putin said that Russian military products have been supplied to over 30 countries last year, earning Russia over $15 billion.

Russian weapons provided to Venezuela proved to be absolutely useless. I'm certain that other purchasers of Russian weapons took note of that.

Europe doesn’t need an apocalypse to lose to Russia.All it takes is a”bad peace"in Ukraine&a few well-timed crises in Europe itself.The essence of the scenario isn’t that Russia will”defeat NATO"in a major war.The essence is that the Kremlin can win without a major war
