The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.”
Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.”

When we talk about authoritarian oligarchs, Putin is the model. He is worth some $200 billion, kills dissidents and rigs elections.
And he started this horrific war in Ukraine.
We all want peace. But any peace talks must include the Ukrainians. It’s their country.
