“there is a reason Trump talked about volumes in tons instead of barrels. The tons number looks bigger to a general observer. This is more politics than a game changer.” For a day and a half supply. Russia will use this money to help Iran kill Americans and to kill Ukrainians. MAGA=treason.

Incitement to murdering civilians and threatening nuclear war are war crimes. There is a case to be made. Russia has just requested that the ICC hand over its top 14 officials, whom it has sentenced in absentia to jail terms for issuing an arrest warrant for Putin. This would be a good reply.

298 fatalities when Russia downed MH17, most of them Dutch, but Russia DEMANDS an explanation from the Netherlands. Some nerve they have over there in the Kremlin.

What about the Mexico in which drug cartels control a third of the national territory? And in which the murder rate of 25 per 100,000 makes it 12th worst in the world? (USA is 6 per 100k, 46th in world). I’m not American and I hate Trump and MAGA. But let’s report the full picture yes?

I miss having a president. I mean a REAL president -- someone who works and lives the position. Someone who doesn't shame us but instead is always a person to respect and be proud of. Someone like Barack Obama.

While countless Russians, from propagandists like Solovyov to ordinary drunk Ivans, were celebrating Russia’s strikes on data centers in Ukraine, they forgot that two can play this game. 🔥Lady Bavovna paid a visit to the Yandex Data Center “Yandex DC Sasovo” in Sasovo, Ryazan Region.

"He doesn’t understand the people. He is a true Soviet KGB officer. A bit of an antisemite, a bit of a fascist. Not very intelligent. And he does not understand that people have rights. He is a president who simply doesn’t give a damn about his own citizens."

I hope the poster won't mind. This just seemed so clear and true. The source link is in his post: "Russia's propaganda campaign and subversion directed against us have two goals: concrete behavioral change (Ukraine, energy policy) and the promotion of division/weakening from within."
A graphic show Russia's two-pronged offensive on the West (and others):

RUSSIA

1) Concrete change in behavior

Less support for Ukraine

No European defense strategy

Energy dependence on Russia

Abolish sanctions

Improved image of Russia

2) Division of societies perceived as hostile

Polarization

Intensification of social conflicts

Strengthening of populist, anti-system movements

Reduced democratic resilience

Destruction of trust in the rule of law, free media, and political leadership

John Locke wrote about what to do if it became necessary to defend liberty. Thomas Paine later chipped in, as did others. But this current generation of Americans doesn’t seem up to the challenge, beyond hand wringing social media posts and phone videos of ICE actions. Your mess. Clean it up.

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford
a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" 
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special  camps and receive special treatments" 
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

That tracks with the disgraceful Spanish attitude towards Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and threat to NATO. They could care less. Their European allies should adopt the same attitude towards Spain and Ceuta, teach them a lesson about solidarity and shared interests.
