So, Trump has a 90-minute phone call with his buddy Putin. And what is he doing immediately afterwards? He lets the world know that he is considering to withdraw all US troops from Germany! He is such a good boy - always willing to follow uncle Vlad's orders...

So, the deal was obviously: Trump appoints Radev as Bulgaria's representative in the Peace Council and Mladenov as High Representative for Gaza. In exchange, Bulgaria pays 1 billion USD entrance fee to the lifetime Chairman, Donald Trump. That's what I call corruption on a grand scale!

A year ago, I picked this deserted tiny calico kitten up from a road in Montenegro. Her name is Sofia! ❤️ - I'm a cat dad of two now, because a few months later, a second rescue cat (Iliria) followed.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Free speech is of course still existing in the US - as long as it is not to voice a critical opinion against Trump and his ilk. In that case, you may lose your job, get blacklisted, get arrested, made disappeared and put in a torture prison in a foreign country maybe for life without due process.

The average tariff on US goods exported to the EU is about 1%, and not 39%. Trump is lying, as usual. And no tariffs on Russia, which doesn't come as a surprise. Why would he raise tariffs on his closest ally?

Europe's goal must be to cut off US companies from this market as soon as possible and to become self-sufficient. That will take some time, but it has to be done. Actions and words of the Trump gang made it very clear that the US is hostile to Europe.

Just received an email from Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), informing me that my inheritance fund (10.8 million USD) payment is approved and that I will receive the money now. I had no idea of this inheritance, but send the money anyway! 🤣 🤣

That's nothing new. Especially the Obama administration was hugely increasing the number of drone killings of alleged terrorists. So what governments of some countries do nowadays is to just kill everyone within a certain radius of the target and call such a result "excellent". Just think about it!

Not only was the imbecile Steve Witkoff in Russia, he actually hooked up to a Russian wifi network to read the messages... meaning that Russian intelligence captured everything. And maybe this explains why Russian commentators were referring to him as an imbecile. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

Which 'mutual respect' is she talking about? The 'we will get it - one way or the other' kind, or the 'we will make them an offer they can't refuse' kind? Being bullied by people who use the rhetoric of mobsters is not what most people would consider as 'mutual respect'.
