This comes weeks after the FBI indicted suspects over a plot to kill Russian dissidents in Washington and Lithuania, though Kasparov says the spy agencies haven’t told him explicitly he was one target in the murder-for-hire scheme.

Trump start onnodige oorlog met IRN. IRN blokkeert SoH waardoor brandstofprijzen stijgen. US vraagt EUR strategische reserves vrij te geven om de prijs te drukken. Are we puppets on a string?

Zojuist hebben we Belzec bezocht. Het 1e operationele vernietigingskamp van Aktion Reinhard: indrukwekkend, staalhard en massief. Ter contrast: daar las een deelneemster een pijnlijk liefdevol menselijke afscheidsbrief van een moeder aan haar zoon voor. Sara wordt in juli 1942 in Belzec vermoord.

According to Budanov, Kremlin's current behavior repeats a well-known historical scenario: the lack of a decisive response only encourages the aggressor to move further. Moscow's rhetoric is becoming more aggressive, and its threats are already going beyond the borders of Ukraine.
