With the recent talks of Russian “training” in Belarus I’d be keeping a close eye on the Dieveniskes appendix in Lithuania and route 104. Low value region but an easy target to annex and test the limits of NATO.

So Europe is divesting from American defense companies, the stock market is tanking, the president is creating further constitutional crises by disobeying the courts, and we’re no closer to peace anywhere in the word. And it’s only March?

So Vance and Trump decided to throw hissy fits because Zelensky corrected them on the history of this conflict and didn’t allow them to spew their normal lies? Embarrassing as heck for us.

Beyond ashamed of my country and how far we’ve fallen. Trump has fully embraced the idea of being Russia’s puppet and giving them a pass on their invasion of Ukraine. I really hope Europe continues to step up and lead the free world.

If the rest of NATO (parts not run by Russia) is serious in its mission then things are going to need to change fast. There needs to be a huge increase in munitions production as well as drone tech. The Suwalki Gap is going to get hot before we know it.

Disgusted doesn’t even begin to describe my thoughts on Trump’s recent comments regarding Zelensky. It’s clear he is a Russian puppet and is willing to burn our allies to appease Putin. Traitor seems to be a very fitting term for him.
