Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

If you read Putin's statement about the capitulation he wrangled from Trump yesterday, rather than Trump, it becomes clear that Putin has finally finished fully recruiting Donald Trump.

It isn't crazy to wonder what sort of things the spectacle of a public execution is meant to desensitize us to. In fact, it's necessary to wonder that.

In the United States, Russian dissident activist Leonid Melekhin ended up in immigration detention, but he was confident he would be granted asylum. Instead, he was deported back to Russia. Now he has six years in a penal colony.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

After Russia invaded Ukraine, trade between Moscow and the West stopped, not just to punish Putin, but also to deny him the resources needed to help fuel the deadliest conflict in Europe since WWII. Trump now claims he’s struck a deal to buy Russian fuel, which needs to be seen as a real scandal.
