Our Lithuanian allies honor our fallen Americans. Our President doesn't. Instead, he talks about invading one. That's where we are.

Wall Street stocks drop like a stone America's flagship S&P 500 plunged two per cent in minutes today - the kind of fall not seen since the start of the Covid pandemic.
