It's unclear at this point if any data sharing was actually cut. But YES, other NATO countries must find their way around everything American - and transition to a more resilient and equal alliance.

🫂 I saw a pist from the Ukrainian military confirming that our vicious murderer of a president cut off data sharing. I hope NATO finds a way around the block.

Good morning to you from Ukraine, where most of us are surviving yet another massive Russian airstrike across several cities. Unclear how many people got killed: missiles keep coming; bodies are still being pulled out after yesterday's RU strikes. How's your time of day going? How's AI apocalypse?

There's no choice but to take the gloves off. Without data centres, the Russians may be unable to accurately target Ukranian civilian targets, or to fund their crimes. Every one of Russia's overly centralized data centres should be hit, along with every fuel tank and tanker, refinery and pipeline.

If the issue only involved the withholding of targeting information to improve Ukraine’s offensive air campaign, I’d agree with calling it strategic. Withholding early warning of an incoming lethal missile attack is criminal imo, especially when Russia has a proven history of targeting civilians.

the president, somewhere over Canada with Natalie and Katie nearby, is engaging in some casual defamation

Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, “Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000.” Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from? She must have freaked out when she saw that money! Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.? I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP
