If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

They’re likely trying to prevent defections, but I understand why everyone thinks this is ominous - there’s a lot of intel out there that Putin is planning a major escalation, likely in the Baltic States. Which would be an absolutely moronic thing for him to do, but here we are.

I know it’s a long list, but this might be the dumbest thing Trump has ever tweeted. The Fed would love to be able to lower rates, but Trump’s policies (including the moronic one he announces here) are preventing that from happening.

The only realistic way that Elon can meddle in the midterms is through his bullshit PAC. He’s going to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into trying to get GOP candidates elected, but I don’t think it’s going to help. The GOP is underwater on every issue right now, and the economy sucks.

This was intentional. First drones, now missiles. Russia is gauging NATO’s (specifically the US) response to these violations. Every time they strike far Western Ukraine, they get data on Polish operating procedures - alerts, jets scrambled, communications with allies, etc.

I hope our leaders are cognizant of the fact that Iran is clearly forcing these deployments to Israel on purpose. Going after Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan depletes interceptors that were being used to protect Israel. Now our assets are moving to a less-defended Israel. 🙃
