President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day. Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine. As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia. America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration. Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him. America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: For every dollar that we put into Ukraine, Europeans and others put in a dollar and a half. So the notion that they were free-riding on Ukraine is simply not true. And much of the money that we spent on Ukraine was actually spent here in the United States to either buy weapon systems for them or to replenish the systems that we gave them.

This is nonsense. That $22 trillion extra was spent on US global wars and bases, not on NATO. NATO is a regional defence alliance. There is no reason European NATO members should be funding US bases in Okinawa or Qatar. nitter.gq/VFinnishProbs/status/2…
Since the Cold War, successive US governments have gaslit Americans into thinking Europeans get free healthcare, free education and decent parental leave, while Americans don’t, because the US pays for Europe’s defence. It’s a myth that also helps them justify 750+ US bases worldwide. Europe spends $550bn a year on defence, more than China and Russia combined. Even without the US, Europe is the most heavily defended continent on Earth. US bases in Europe cost approx 3.5% of the US annual defence budget and deliver outsized strategic power. That isn’t charity. It’s central to US strategy.

Yesilgöz zegt net dat Hamas de dienst uitmaakt in Palestina. Onzin: die terreurorganisatie heeft enkel controle over Gaza (ongeveer 370km2). Palestijnse Autoriteiten (niet Hamas) over 6000km2. Ergo: Hamas controleert ongeveer 5-6% van de Palestijnse gebieden.

Mark Kelly on Trump’s Crash: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet.''

After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States. Troops from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Finland, and many others joined the fight in Afghanistan. More than one thousand of these soldiers paid the ultimate price. JD Vance - Have you said 'thank you' once for their sacrifice?

This is not a Banksy art piece. It is a piece named “March of Progress” by street artist Loretto as signed and seen in the image. It has also been edited to flip the direction that Donald Trump is facing. x.com/banksyshop/sta… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretto_(…
