Due to sanctions, these planes have not been getting required services. Services. They are death traps, crashes waiting to happen. If Trump had any decency, he would say no way until they agree to a complete ceasefire.

As it is impossible for Ukraine to hit all the Russian "archers," they must also strike the Russian "arrows" & need our help. Air defense saves civilian lives & infrastructure. Talk to your elected representatives to help them more, wherever you live!

Ukraine still in Kursk & Belgorod Oblasts These incursions rely on secure supply lines from Ukraine proper These incursions are an outsized embarrassment to Putin & force his fascist invaders to destroy Russian lands while also demonstrating how inefficient the Russian military is Slava Ukraini

An open invitation to prove a historian wrong, which we accept begrudgingly. Western (and other) consumers don't NEED any products from China. Nothing. Part production etc can be moved elsewhere. I ask you all because perhaps someone of the many can point out what we do need from Chinese factories

Just a suspicion T saw China retaliating massively & trying to lead a global group against USA Tariffs w China now over 100%, while other countries can negotiate China gets $500B annually exporting to USA China cannot direct that $500B to other countries T purposely sunk China's economy???

By severing trade with China, T is also severing China's reluctance to engage in warfare with the USA over Taiwan. Economic interdependence, via massive mutual trade, was always intended to make war between trade partners too expensive

Large-scale issue vs small-scale issue I know which one I, & most Americans, think pertains on more people I hope Democrats favor of populist economics, unless we want MAGA to win by favoring small P.S. I'm not saying abandon any minority group, but explore refocusing political PRIORITIES

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Under MAGA, the USA will not help any country because it's the right thing to do or any other motive under T except for... Money. His foreign policy is that of a mercenary state, like the Hessians of yore. Reagan's shining city on a hill is reduced to a corrupt mercenary encampment.

That company exists OFF Amazon, too.
1) Google company name.

2a) Can usually find a 10% code!
3) Still get product in 2-8 days.
4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.
