Trump - casinos, brothels, and gangsters

Democrats - Naval bases, air bases, brothels

The only difference between Harris and Trump is that the latter can’t keep his gaping orange maw shut. Well maybe she would have put in a few more military bases instead of casinos.

Ukrainian officials fear an alignment between Washington and Moscow could shut them out of the discussion about their country’s future.

Ukrainian officials fear an election might put back the government that they usurped, with American funding and support, back in 2004/5.

They’ve been trying to goad Iran into fighting back so they can expand the war.

None of his supporters know how tariffs work either, all he has to do is sound belligerent and they swallow it.

And the exposing of US lies and propaganda.

Which, incidentally, gives the lie to the view that Russia is poised to take more of Europe — if we in NATO truly believed this, we would all be mobilizing at speed.

On Monday Rwanda-backed rebels claimed they had Congo’s strategic city of Goma, the hub of a region containing trillions of dollars in mineral wealth

When Putin, Xi, or any of their spokespeople say things, the western media industrial complex always ends the sentence with the words “without providing any evidence.” They never do that with anonymous US sources.

Just saying

Perhaps Russia wouldn’t attack if it wasn’t provoked.

Biden could have put a stop to it more than a year ago. Trump is a vile piece of shit for sure, but Genocide Joe is no better.

free to pursue integration with the West.

Free to put US missiles along the border within a thousand kilometres of Moscow. The wouldn’t give a crap about Ukraine otherwise
