The moment of the shelling of Dobropillya.
Watch the video with sound.

People are hiding under the balconies of residential buildings.

Believe me, this is what awaits Europe, and just as suddenly, as no one could have imagined that such a turnaround would happen with the USA.

Always remember--this is not a case of Trump appeasing Putin--its actually him joining Putin. Its not Munich 1938, its the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939.

This shows you that Donald Trump isn’t bothered by the illegal use of force, war crimes, the bombing of civilian targets, and the kidnapping of children. At least not when Vladimir Putin does it. That’s sociopathic.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

We are witnessing something new, the birth of game show totalitarianism. Pulling folks out of the crowd as props to distract from an agenda destroying our institutions, impoverishing our people, shattering our economy, attacking our allies and supporting our enemies.
