    Trump has decided to blame Zelenskyy for "allowing the war to start". WTF?

    Trump says Zelensky 'should never have let' Ukraine war start

    Based on what we learned from that one North Korean deserter in 2017, as bad as we think the Russians might be eating at the front, everyday life is worse in the DPRK.

    I meant from what they are eating now at the bases in Russia compared to what they're about to be eating. I'm sure Putin is putting on a good show for them now to slow defections.

    A drone was spotted targeting Israeli PM Netanyahu's house. This is why you want to end wars like the Ukraine War as quickly as possible, with the aggressor nation (that's Russia, for those of you trying to keep up) defeated. Wars lead to innovations in the art of killing people, and those innovations spill over into non-military, and sometimes terrorist, applications. It won't be long before lethal drones are targeting U.S. leaders, causing our fragile civilization to fall apart faster than electing Donald Trump president. So before you foreign policy wizards and Russian government apologists start thinking about reducing aid to Ukraine again, think about what kind of future you're asking for. By dragging this war out, and possibly rewarding the aggressor nation, you are ensuring the advancement of weapons in dangerous hands. The next time a major terrorist action occurs, don't start asking who could be responsible--start by looking in the mirror.

    A drone targets the Israeli prime minister's house while strikes in Gaza kill more than 50

    Two strategies that probably won’t work against the Russians: (1) defeating them quickly (2) defeating them eventually.
