important truth
🚨👀❗👇didn’t see this aired on any news cycles today or yesterday either.
The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

With Trump and his Putin loving cronies, Macron is effing spot on:

"“There is a chance that the US will betray Ukraine on territory without clarity on security guarantees,” Macron said according to the English language notes of the call that DER SPIEGEL has obtained."
"We Must Not Leave Ukraine and Volodymyr Alone with These Guys"
DER SPIEGEL has obtained notes from a conference call involving EU leaders - including Germany's Friedrich Merz and France's Emmanuel Macron - showing just how little trust Europe has in Washington.

It's wholesome and oddly depressing to me that Al Gore, 77, not owing anyone shit, is still criss-crossing the globe full-time warning people about climate change, raising money for climate projects, mentoring the next generation of environmentalists, and generally being obsessed with this issue.

Trump suspended the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) entirely-the leading force in combatting global corruption.

Whistleblowers whose work involves international business & organizations have been completely betrayed.

And there's only ONE REASON to do something like this.

To hide corruption.
