TRUMP JUST FIRED THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD STOP HIM FROM USING THE MILITARY FOR A COUP. This is how dictators seize power. The last time someone purged the military like this, they called themselves führer. Pay attention before it’s too late ‼️

The USA and russia are now both aggressor states, both support betrayal, theft, torture, and murder. America broke its promise to Ukraine, the guarantee of Ukrainian Sovereignty and security. Now the USA refuses to call russia the aggressor in this war and blames Ukraine. Spreading russian lies.

Starlink should be banned from European markets on national security grounds. Anything requiring Starlink should be shut out of the European market, and sanctions should be considered against all relevant actors. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

If true then the US is now a genuine Russia-style mafia state. Russia extorts with energy-, the US with tech-dependence. I trust the conclusions we draw from this will also turn into a semblance of policy.

Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP. And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
