Russia has declared its hand for 2026.

Victory on the battlefield.

The negotiations have been cynical game-playing, slowing military aid and successfully splitting the west.

Is Vance unfit for office once Trump goes to his reward?

He says Europe's main threat is internal, not Russia , but

Russia invaded Ukraine and is trying to assimilate it.

Putin calls Europe's leaders pigs and Nazis.

He is on the ground in Moldova, Georgia and Armenia.

Culpable ignorance

This looks fake, sounds fake,and even though Trump is always worse today than yesterday, needs to be fake for the sake of America and humanity.

The SM universe says it's true so maybe it is.

Is it?

Americans need to get feet on the street to tell their Putinesque mafia -masquerading-as Government gang that the game is up.

This is what Europe does.

USA needs a No Trump march.

He's clearly unfit for office and unsound of mind

He pardoned the founder of Bianance. CZ, who had pled guilty to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws. CZ, according to the DOJ "allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers.”

Just in... shocking scene from war-torn Portland. Liberals pretending all is well while death and destruction surround them. Trump's military response won't be a day too soon.

Take a close look at this photo.

This is Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. In 1999, it was reduced to rubble by russian forces — just three years after russia signed a peace treaty with Chechnya.

Trump as seen from Ireland.

Golf used to be a gentleman's game and the shame of cheating would stick to you forever.

At the least you would be banned from the club competitions.

Oh well

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

It looks like Europe has learned that Putin has an old Soviet head on his twitching shoulders. The ceasefire- in- Ukraine ultimatum to Russia is the right approach.

Trump said / lied:
“We may reveal it later, but they had meetings this morning, and we’ve been meeting with China,”

Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson He Yadong said:
“currently no economic and trade negotiations between China and the United States”.

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

I think Trump missed the class on Ricardo's comparative advantage theory.
