Opinion: The Western Threat: Understanding Why Hungary Spies on Zakarpattia
Hungary reportedly spied in Ukraine to assess support for a Hungarian “peacekeeping mission.” To understand why, and why there’s no appetite for such an operation, you have to understand the region.

Trump has already had death squads before, they had a practice run in Afghanistan during his first presidency. The majority of the US didn't care, now he's calling US citizens terrorists. It only takes a few signatures and complete media silence to know what comes next. #3E #EndImpunity
In the first half of 2019, CIA death squads in Afghanistan murdered more civilians than ISIS and the Taliban combined.
“They’re very well trained. They have the best weapons and equipment." "Sometimes they go into people’s homes and just shoot everybody.” Three Americans were there. “I could see them,”“They were speaking English.”  "So far this year, more than eight thousand civilians have been killed or wounded." "...the violence has never made less sense." "Under Trump... the conflict has entered perhaps its most troubling phase, one that is being prosecuted largely in secret."

Remember, the best way to get back at Trump and Elon is more than snark. It's putting money (or helping people do so if you're unable to, no judgment, all been there) in the hands of those fighting back, like Ukrainian armed forces.
