Lavrov claimed that 91 drones were used in an attack on the presidential residence in Novgorod. On the same day, Russia’s defense ministry stated that a total of 89 drones were shot down over Russia that night—of which only 18 were over the Novgorod region.

Trump built Russia a kill switch. They're already using it. - Euromaidan Press
Zelenskyy warns Russia is preparing to strike Kyiv government buildings using the fabricated "attack on Putin's residence" as pretext. The same playbook Russia used in September.

I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.
Here's why this Trump-Putin so-called "peace plan" is a disaster:

Worth a try I would say, all support for Ukraine is helping and she's got a point with your big follow count.

Inhumanity is Trump's goal.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Every meeting with Putin has been a waste of time. Putin's playing his asset in the Whitehouse like an old fiddle 🎻
Note that Trump has demanded $230million in tax payer money from the DOJ for legitimately investigating his crimes. That sounds like Kremlin level kleptocracy from where I'm sitting.

⚡️Update: Trump says 'no determination' yet on Putin summit.
"I don't want to have a wasted meeting," Trump told reporters at the White House on Oct. 21. He said there would be an update on next steps in "the next two days."

I agree with Snyder.
Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US.
