I have a chapter there too, which I really enjoyed writing, because I gave it a very personal and sentimental touch. Of course, for that reason it's going to make every one who dares to read it sick... 🤣🤭

Video: New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Pretti
A frame-by-frame assessment of actions by Alex Pretti and the two officers who fired 10 times shows how lethal force came to be used against a target who didn’t pose a threat.

There is a reason why Witkoff-Kushner clandestinely try to betray Ukraine and this is due to the overwhelming support of the American people for Ukraine. The Reagan National Defense Survey polled following numbers:

The only “peace plan” that makes sense is the one from Sanna Marin, Finland’s former Prime Minister: “The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That is the way out of the conflict.”

A cartoon depicts two bearded cavemen in primitive clothing standing in the foreground. One of them, with a disapproving expression, says, “LOOK AT THESE KIDS… ADDICTED TO TECHNOLOGY.” In the background, a group of smiling cavechildren, also dressed in primitive clothing, are gathered around a fire, each holding a small flame. The humor lies in the anachronistic use of the phrase “addicted to technology” to describe fascination with fire—one of humanity’s earliest technological breakthroughs—highlighting how every generation tends to view new tools or innovations with suspicion.

Il Telegraph riporta che Jan Marsaled, esperto di spionaggio russo, ha utilizzato mercenari privati ​​(Wagner) in Africa per controllare il traffico di migranti verso l'UE. Il bello è che in Italia quelli che si lamentano (contro l'UE) dei migranti, sono gli stessi che baciano gli stivali a Putin...

So the White House story is now: “We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.” The country is now run by thugs and idiots.

It’s Palm Sunday and Russians fired a ballistic missile right into the center of Sumy. There are gruesome pictures and videos of people lying the ground. Dozens are dead. Anyone who thinks that peace can be achieved with Putin is not only a fool, he is the heir to the throne of the kingdom of fools.
