1/ The Wall Street Journal reports that the main focus of the US-Russia peace talks is to get commercial advantage for American companies, and personal benefits for individuals linked to the Trump Administration. European officials are said to be shocked by the plans. ⬇️

If you read one thing today, make it this, Western capitals need to clear house of their current ineffective leadership

I TOLD YOU ALL IT WAS COUP PROOFING
Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

This is the result of a Russian missile hit that damaged a civilian train today, carrying regular people, including the elderly, women, and kids. Sadly, people get used to seeing stuff like this, and it won't be all over the news. Don’t let it fade. Keep showing Russia's crimes

Weakness and appeasement always invites more war, because it tells everyone that military solutions are a (better) option. Russia's aggression in Ukraine is the greatest threat to the world than most realize. It goes far beyond to what happens there.
