At 9:00 a.m. every day, Ukraine falls silent. We remember every defender, every civilian, every life taken by Russia. We remember their names, their stories, their lives. We carry them with us. Always💔🕯️

How can anybody be surprised that Trump makes a for the US meaningless Diesel deal with Putin to end sanctions on Russia? Have you not understood that Trump supports Russia against Ukraine, the West & the US? Few things are more obvious.

Trump is giving Putin money to fund Russia's war killing Ukrainians. Trump is killing Veneuelans, Iranians, Ukrainians.... and all Republicans do is to continue voting down reigning in Trump's unauthorized war of choice against Iran. America is dead to the world of moral nations and peoples.

Election already took place, I did run through LSM's "which political parties are you most aligned with in values?" Here are my most definite "NO!"s. Šlesers and I aren't a good match. Who would have thunk. Related: I had "radical disagreements" in the at least 20% range with all political parties.
