The hate of men will pass, and dictators die.

85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator.

He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world.

As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever

Nothing to see here, just a russian Orthodox Church near Moscow.
A sect that worships war, glorifying killing and militarism.

It should not be allowed anywhere in the civilized world.

The parties agreed on nothing and will meet again at yet another meaningless “summit” in a month, so that Russia can continue buying time and making a fool of Donald Trump while continuing to destroy Ukraine.

You’re welcome.

Dim-witted real estate guy and inexplicably US envoy Steve Witkoff will be taking part in talks in Geneva today to end the war in Ukraine *and* the forthcoming one in Iran.

Real estate guy and possible vampire Jared Kushner will be accompanying him.

Ukraine has been under russian drone attacks for most of the night.

Russian cruise missiles are expected to enter our airspace in half an hour, bringing more death and destruction.

Again, we play this deadly lottery while the world watches.

Ukraine has also hit occupied Mariupol tonight..

Local channel MariupolNow says it was a very loud explosion, much bigger than a drone strike.
Perhaps missile(s) have hit the port? A fire can be seen near the water. But Russian monitors only warned of drones.

For anyone keeping track of the Iran buildup, we’ve now sent more AWACS into theater.

Curious to see how tomorrow’s talks go, but it’s pretty clear the administration isn’t planning for them to be good.
