Ukraine has successfully destroyed a Russian $10 million Buk-M1 surface-to-air missile system. This very system was used by Russian terrorists in 2014 to shoot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, tragically killing 298 civilians from 17 countries. Justice in action!

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Elon Musk calling astronaut and U.S. veteran Mark Kelly a "traitor" proves once again what a disgraceful, morally bankrupt scumbag he is. No respect for those who served—just empty arrogance.

The collapse of America as a trusted ally in just six weeks is quite the story.

70% of Brits see France as an ally but fewer than half see the US that way, and this is in a country that had a so-called special relationship.

In Germany only 23% see the US as an ally, 24% in France.
