Russia has become even more of an economic vassal of China.

Russia is forced to offer China deep discounts on oil due to few other sales options, and now they have to sell gold to China to make up for the money lost in those discounts.

Russian sovereignty is disappearing fast.

Russia is so desperate for any win that they are claiming that US relations are returning to "normalcy".

Despite their ally Maduro's capture.
Despite the US seizing a Russian tanker.
Despite ongoing massive sanctions.
And despite about a dozen other things.

"Normalcy". Sure.🙄

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Trump must be really desperate about the contents of the Epstein files since he does so much to distract from them - Venezuela, Minnesota & Greenland.
It would be good if the US had a president who tried to rule & support the US rather than provoke wars.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

Its crazy the gradual increase of pleas we've made to ICE
Hey can you wear a name tag?
Hey do you have a warrant
Hey can you please not wear masks?
Hey can you please not murder us?

The hell with training, that organization doesn't need to exist anymore.
