There's NO justification for what russia and putin are doing to Ukraine. It's beyond horrible.

And the United States does NOTHING, because its electorate chose to elect a selfish, corrupt, megalomaniacal, intellectually-deprived charlatan instead of competent leadership.
Ukrainian energy workers are stuck in a nonstop cycle, racing to fix power grids and systems after relentless Russian missile and drone strikes. Every day, teams face danger and exhaustion to keep homes lit and the country running, but Russia keeps hitting critical infrastructure ...👇

Thugs.You're not wanted here.
In fact, you're hated here.

No one in North Carolina asked you to come terrorize our people.

May you and your kaiser feel the pain you inflict x 1000.

THIS is history.

Donald #Epsteinfiles Trump condoned it and Donald #Epsteinfiles Trump pardoned these people.

Completely on brand for the Trump family: "History stands here? Destroy it and put up plastic gold leaf."

'Accusations of corruption and abuse of power are now being heard from the opposition and the population.'

The corruption just doesn't quit. Dictator-level stuff.

"Fannie Mae watchdogs who were removed from their jobs had been probing if Trump appointee Bill Pulte had improperly obtained mortgage records of key Democratic officials, including New York Attorney General Letitia James."

FHFA’s acting inspector general handed the probe report to the U.S. attorney office that had indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

He has no idea how medical care works, and costs, for the cash payer. He has a)never held a public, or private job (something used as a talking point against Mamdani), he has ONLY worked for his family company, and his only real "boss" his father. He has no clue about how anything works, literally.

The fact is that Trump wants russia to win. He's never hidden that.

And now, apparently, "principled" Republicans will choke on decades of knowledge about WHO RUSSIA IS (murderous, untrustworthy thugs) to please a man lacking the most basic understanding of history, policy, and morals.
Yesterday's thread was again quite Jolie, until dusk arrived in Ukraine, the light faded & any lingering hopes invested in Trump went out too.

It was TACO Friday: Hungary said Agent Orange gave them a Russian oil exemption: Russia celebrated by bombing the💩out of Ukraine

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
