Naturally, according to Witkoff, the quickest way to stop a robbery is to let the burglar finish looting every house in the neighborhood he couldn’t reach. And, apparently, the fastest way to stop a serial killer isn’t to jail and punish him - but to bring him more victims for massacring.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

I'm relying on this advice, which I believe comes from the best of intentions, to illustrate why it doesn't works Imagine this: You're at home, on the 12th floor of your apartment building. Suddenly, something explodes. There was no alert because you're in Kharkiv, very close to Russia. 👇

The US has now the least qualified economic policy making in the developed world. An ignorant and seemingly dement leader has not evolved beyond the 1890s. He accepts no facts or economic realities & nobody can impose any truth on him. The US is in a terrible disaster.

Things I will not tolerate from Americans about Ukraine: “You should be thanking us. You’re so ungrateful.” “Stop begging for money.” “Why are you fighting Russia? Do you like war?” “Both sides are to blame.” “Give us all your resources.” “Does Zelenskyy own a suit?”

There are no words I can express on how saddened I am due to how many Americans not only refuse to support emerging democracies but mock their struggle. I guess I'm from a different generation who thought that basic human rights and a voice at the polls were a good idea.

Problems with Trump's economic policies: 1. Borrowed from McKinley in the 1890s = obsolete. 2. Tariffs hurt your own economy, less competition & more inflation & corruption. 3. No theory or calculations, just prejudice. 4. Completely disregarding fiscal & monetary policies.

The best sanctions against the aggressor are Ukrainian drones and missiles destroying Russian oil terminals and gas pipelines. Ukraine has vast domestic production capacity for weapons. Fund it properly and Ukrainians will win the war.

It is one thing that the US electorate has chosen a dement man who cannot think straight but is stuck in the 1890s. But why are all elected republicans so cowardly that they don't dare to tell him to stop destroying their country & appointing aggressive ignoramuses?

The United States attacking its ally Canada is the dumbest trade war in history. The U.S. attacking its ally Denmark, in Greenland, is the dumbest war in history. These wars are being started for no reason whatsoever by the dumbest man to ever occupy the White House, Russia's Useful Idiot Trump.

Every time the US has been in strife, Canada has shown up and done so WITHOUT asking for a thank you or for reimbursement. Canadian lives have been lost in order to help the US save theirs. Beware, if Trump’s America can turn unprovoked on their closest ally, they WILL do it to all of them.
