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.

Trump says he's banning CNN, MSNow & Politico from the White House. If he goes through w/ this, the WH press corps needs to boycott. Fox too No more of the correspondents association's white-tablecloth, gladhanding bullshit. Pentagon reporters showed they don't need in-house access. You can too.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico (The recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 Million Dollar subscription, an All Time Record, directly from the United States Government, under Crooked Joe Biden, in order to keep them “alive.” Seems like corruption to me!), from the White House as a result of their constant “reporting” FAKE NEWS! Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America. Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

You can see why Hegseth and his flunkies didn't like jawdropping details like this one, from Korte's final Stars and Stripes story, about US Navy evacuees from Bahrain. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...

In one instance, early in the war, a mass text message went out to evacuees directing them to contact the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, a nonprofit that aims to assist military families during emergencies.

However, when one spouse called the phone number listed in the announcement, they were connected with the National Bank of Canada, the spouse

It’s worth listening to this rant in full. It’s as neat a summary of Trump’s foreign policy as you’ll get. Trump sees the U.S. military as a mercenary/gangster force, and alliances as a protection racket—even uses the term “protection.” No sense of shared interests, mutual benefit, or cooperation.
