The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Russian forces are exploiting heavy fog and poor weather to push light vehicles into southern Pokrovsk. Ukrainian sources confirm the conditions are hampering drone operations, making it harder to spot and strike Russian movements.

A truly infernal video has surfaced from attack by Ukrainian forces yesterday, on the Tuapse seaport. The massive explosion points to a serious payload carried by an USV. Extra credit goes to the cameraman, who happened to be in the right place at the right time

Former NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg writes in his memoirs he refused President Zelensky's February 2022 request for a no-fly zone over Ukraine because NATO would have had to strike Russian air defenses in Belarus and Russia, risking direct war. He called ending that phone call painful.

Not to mention that the poppy commemorates a war in which the national origins here being called "foreign" were in fact British territories and thousands of whose people died fighting for Britain.
Wear a poppy --> 'This foreigner has no right to wear the poppy!'.
Don't wear a poppy --> 'This foreigner is not showing due respect to our veterans!'.
Schrödinger's 'foreigner' strikes again ('stealing our jobs'/'not working' style).
