1/ Tuberculosis has become rife on Russia's front lines, with thousands of soldiers being treated for infections. The disease has spread from conscripted prisoners, but many men are being sent back to the trenches untreated or are simply not being sent for treatment at all. ⬇️

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”
Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

A correspondent for TASS, a Russian state media organization, was among a group of hand-picked pool reporters present in the Oval Office for the Zelenskyy presser.
Reuters and AP were barred from attending.
The White House claims the TASS journalist was not authorized to be there.
Putin loves it!

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

The bust of Sir Winston Churchill sits in Trump's Oval Office. He was an immensely brave leader who visited Washington, dressed in fatigues, seeking support against a despot. We all know what he would have made of today's unedifying spectacle and whose side he would have been on.

A clownish episode of this hellscape reality show. Meanwhile, President Zelensky is literally fighting for the lives of his people, while Grampa Golf and arrogant JD embarrass themselves (and our country) in front of the entire world.
