It’s crazy how so many in media stayed away from talking about Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline explicitly when some of us have been beating the drum about it for a few years relentlessly, but after a legacy outlet (WSJ) does a story now it’s suddenly ok to go there.

OTD in 2002 Russian foreign minister Lavrov said it was Ukraine's decision to join NATO if it wanted.
Which is *very* strange thing to say if you got a promise from NATO that Ukraine wasn't going to be allowed to even apply. Or maybe it's bullshit.

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.
I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

Ukraine’s GUR staged the death of Russian Volunteer Corps commander Denis Kapustin, duping Russian intelligence into paying $500,000 for his “elimination.” The money will now fund Ukrainian special forces. The month-long operation identified both the Russian planners and hired executors.
