For anyone confused (or anyone on the right, who seem naturally confused) about the ICE/Milo situation: It is different to feel remorse and sorrow for legal and illegal immigrants who come here looking for a better life versus feeling vindicated at the deportation of a foreign provocateur.

It is already known that Russian intelligence planned to stage an assassination attempt on Orban to rally support for him in the polls. No reason to assume this scenario is any different. Orban isn’t just a cancer to the EU, he’s a cancer to the entire West and an ally to Russia.

Trump doesn’t care about a just peace, we all know this. Donald just wants to inflate his performance by leaving what he deems a lasting legacy that very few presidents were able to achieve. He’d let Ukraine be defenseless and fall at a later date if it allowed his legacy to have this “win”.
