Trump on who he wants investigated: "Soros is a name certainly that I keep hearing. I don't know. I hear a lot of different names. I hear names of some pretty rich people that are radical left people. Maybe I hear about a guy named Reid Hoffman."

A very Russian crime: kidnap, isolate and indoctrinate Ukrainian children. A follow up is to return them to the occupied territories and claim they all want to be Russian.

Russia’s economy is precarious. Yes, people have forecasted imminent collapse for a while, but it is a full-blown war economy with inflation, labor shortages and expenses.

Why is the U.S. trading with Russia?
It's inexplicable and immoral. Saying we don’t trade is a lie. Calling it just “fertilizer” ignores that it's $3 billion a year of hard currency heading into Russia, which then buys weapons.
