ICE is to Trump as the NKVD was to Stalin. In the name of “protecting the state” it is an unrestricted and extra-judicial weapon of regime power used against the people.

In order to help Russian invaders conduct aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians, the Trump regime abandoned a U.S. commitment to supply 20,000 air defence missile to the defenders. Instead of saving lives, the missiles will be stored – useless. That’s what Putin wants and directs Trump to do.

Putin puppet Trump takes invader Russia's side. Although Russia has been bombing Ukrainian civilians continuously since 2022, Trump says Ukrainian defenders striking back at the launch platforms "gave Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them." Trump is human filth.

Being at war with the West, Russia is at war with Canada. The Trump regime, backed by Russia, threatens to annex Canada and does not rule out the use of armed force. The United States is no longer Canada's ally. It is an adversary and imminent threat to Canadian sovereignty.

Admitting Ukraine to NATO will end Russia’s war immediately. It’s never too late to do the right thing and save lives.

Russian terrorists are attacking Kharkiv with missiles. Explosions are heard.

Military-political leadership of the russian terrorist state chokes its own economy by stopping and inspecting every truck, multiple times, throughout the so-called Russian Federation and occupied territories. The appearance of doing something is driven by fear of the regime.

Fascist russia invaded Ukraine 11 years, 3 months, 17 days ago. The aggressor only fully occupies one region: Crimea. The Armed Forces of Ukraine hold back the russians without fighting allies. Thank you, Ukrainians, for being the vanguard and saviour of Western civilization.

Putin puppet Trump will never support Ukraine to end the war. He will always support the russian terrorist state to continue the war.
