just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

Trump has broken the solidarity of international sanctions against Russia. The purchase of Russian diesel fuel directly finances Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and strengthens Russia at a time when it presents a threat to Europe and NATO. There is only one conclusion you can reach.
