It is impossible to deny that the #Trump administration is now on Russia's side in the war.
In all of 2025, they have not made a single attempt to force #Russia to the negotiating table, but instead are aiding the enemy in every way they can.

Behalve dat Ruttiaans slijmen potsierlijk is, Europa's waardigheid ondermijnt, de autocratisering van de VS accommodeert, én een ineffectieve strategie blijkt, zijn zulke pleidooien ("ironclad NATO guarantees") inmiddels ook nog eens ongeloofwaardig.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

According to him, Russia has moved up the timeline for preparing direct aggression from 2030 to 2027.
General Budanov also noted that Ukraine is critically dependent on the United States in two areas:
▪️ space-based, radar, and optical intelligence;
▪️ early warning of ballistic missile threats.
