When government is actually organized crime, war becomes the tool of thieves. The west should approach it as such.

There's no way that's just a ballroom. I'm nowhere close to an expert on this stuff, but I found this analysis compelling:

This is the video on the torture prison in El Salvador where people from the US were deported to by ICE. The White House doesn't want anybody to watch and pressured CBS to not put it on air!

Herrlich! Frohe Weihnachten für alle die das feiern!
Ich bin ja tolerant, aber diese Wokeness muss auch mal ein Ende haben. Jetzt feiern manche Leute ernsthaft ein Fest, bei dem so ein Unterschichtkind der Star ist, das in einem Stall geboren wird, von einer unverheirateten Frau, man kennt das ja, die Familienverhältnisse bei solchen Leuten.

Der Führer wollte sicher auch nur Frieden, "aber eben zu seinen Bedingungen."

🇪🇪 Two possible scenarios for a Russian attack on Estonia are published in a report by experts from ECFR.
1. Invasion - a quick capture of Narva, possibly an advance on Tallinn - to shock NATO and force negotiations on a "pause".

⚔️ China and Russia could synchronize attacks on Taiwan and Europe. If China asks, Russia will not refuse, — Rutte
"China is looking at Taiwan. And I am convinced that if China uses military force there, it will push its junior partner - Russia - to distract us here in Europe."

So wie wir heute die Ukrainer in ihrem Überlebenskampf gegen Russland alleine lassen, hätten wir auch damals bei den Verbrechen der Nazis weg gesehen. Die toten ukrainischen Zivilisten, verschleppten Kinder, die frierenden Menschen in Odesa sollen unsere besinnliche Vorweihnachtszeit nicht stören.

The USA is now officially an enemy of Europe.
Trump has begun lifting American sanctions on companies that sell weapons to the Russian military. The Russians have finally offered enough money to the Trump family and Trump is 100% on Russia's side now.

Der Westen geht in Gesprächen mit Russland von strukturell falschen Annahmen aus. Westliche Verhandlungsformate setzen regelmäßig ein grundsätzlich kompromissfähiges Gegenüber voraus, während Moskau Verhandlungen als Teil seiner operativen Kriegsführung behandelt.

🚨GUR Chief Budanov: Russia is speeding up preparations to attack NATO, now targeting 2027.
Russia's original target of 2030 has been changed, and they now plan to occupy the Baltics and strike targets in Poland.
Strength and unity are the only viable deterrents against Russia.

Russland führt längst Krieg gegen die EU, die von innen zerstört werden soll. Einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten pro-russische Vertreter die maßgeblich die Programme rechtsradikaler Parteien wie der AfD bestimmen.
Dieses AfD Duo agiert in der EU für Putin
In einem Brüsseler AfD-Büro sitzt ein Duo, das ganz im Sinne des Kreml agiert. Es arbeitet seit Jahren daran, die Partei nach Moskau auszurichten.

Nach der Niederlage bei Kyiv und dem Rückzug im Jahr 2022 hat Russland vier strategische Ziele verfehlt.
Genau deshalb wird 2026 ein Jahr der hybriden Eskalation werden.

Every once in a while I wonder how MAGA possibly justified the Trump-Epstein association to themselves, and then someone will step up to tell me how Bill Clinton did nothing wrong. It's infuriating, and they're convinced it's savvy politics
Here he is swimming with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and what any reasonable person on the face of the earth would assume is a victim of that sex trafficking operation. Totally and completely unacceptable for him to have any association with the party

Disgusting laughing! Looks like he feels entitled to do whatever he wants because he is part of an elite.
That time Bill Clinton was confronted about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
His response? Laughing and saying, "I think the evidence is clear..."
What do you say democrats about this?
