I condemn the hostile actions of the Trump regime in the USA against the people of Poland.
I agree Trump doesn't deserve to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I deplore the transactional and criminal nature of the Trump regime.
I applaud Polish soldiers for their service.

How about stopping the wholesale killing of Ukrainian citizens and the destruction of the countryβs infrastructure? Stand up to Putin!
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I stopped the mutilation of children. The mutilation. The word is mutilation. They mutilized, you know, mutilation of children."

only Trump can win it for Putin
πΊπ¦πΊπΈ U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker:
βIn the coming weeks, it will become clear whether Ukraine and Russia can reach a territorial agreement. Russia is losing thousands of soldiers per day. Total casualties on both sides may be 2 million. This is catastrophic.β

Who in the world would take them at their word? Zelensky is no fool.
Putinβs representative said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could come to Moscow if he is willing to meet with Putin, claiming that βrussia would guarantee his safety.β

And this is happening on a daily basis, even as Russia claims to be negotiating for peace. And the American delegation doesnβt even blink.
A Russian Molniya drone struck an apartment building in Kharkiv earlier today.
Itβs hard to comprehend the mind of terrorists. Imagine this: they launch a drone into the city to randomly hit someoneβs apartment, destroy their kitchen, maybe kill them if theyβre at home. No military purpose.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

βThe Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.β
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

πͺπΊπΊπΈ Europe may begin selling US assets in response to a new conflict with US, and this will collapse the dollar,- Bloomberg.
"Deutsche Bank analysts note that the US currently has vulnerability: living at the expense of the rest of the world. Europe may decide it no longer wants to finance the US."
