I first read it as meaning: 'Iranian soccer moms are not joining the protests in Iran - why?'

a very strange idea for a segment. 'Soccer moms' should be on American streets cheering on the uprising in...Iran??

I am calling on American workers to take control of production and overthrow their capitalist landlords

Good luck with that

I would love to see European troops defending Ukraine, but I don't see it happening without US enforcement. Instead, I think Putin is about to take control over Kyiv, and Zelensky will be deposed or killed

What do you want to see happen?

I am not suggesting Trump is Putin's marionette. But I think it's possible they agreed on spheres of influence. Putin sacrifices Venezuela and Cuba but gets Ukraine

It's obvious that the only thing preventing Putin from re-taking control over Kyiv is US intel and weapons. Undercut it, then Putin wins

What's the difference between slow walking weapons transfers while cutting funding and ending it completely? It leads to a Russian victory either way

Trump's agenda benefits Putin. Aside from cutting aid to Ukraine, Trump's takeover of Greenland will destroy NATO (& remember when Trump pretended to care about NATO members paying more money, as if that wasn't fishy as hell). Now, maybe this is coincidental, but I don't fault people for wondering

so who does this benefit? Chevron maybe, and who else??

ICE will very likely kill more US citizens, so we'll see if there's a breaking point
