The US administration will be responsible for many more unnecessary Ukrainian civilian & military deaths. The good guys are sanctioned, while the killers in Moscow rub their bloody hands. What pressure is being put on Russia, Mr President?

They are arguing, endlessly, that illegally inciting acts of terror online is ‘free speech’ while silencing dissent, targeting journalists & telling an invaded ally what he is & is not allowed to say during a live television broadcast are all fine.

Trump is Putin’s puppet & he’s making it clear: NATO’s greatest threat is sitting in the White House. Blaming Zelensky for Russia’s war is outright Kremlin propaganda. He’s not just betraying the Atlantic alliance,he’s working to dismantle it. Europe, wake up NOW before it’s too late.

The events in Syria have made the world realise once again, or at least they should, that even the most cruel regime may fall and that Russia and its allies can be defeated.

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵
