Folks say selling our most powerful computer chips to China will jeopardize our national security.
Trump agrees and says Nvidia can sell the chips if it gives the US a kickback. The payment does nothing to enhance security.
Why is this not just Trump extorting private business?

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Why wasn't this in mainstream media?
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.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.
