Ukraine is in Europe, so you've already attacked Europe. No more Russian expansion west.

Your word "could" worries me.

This is the core of why Ukrainians are different from Russians, they care. Russia will never be the same while it remains an empire.

I hope that some systems can be implemented to stop this happening next winter. Is there enough time to do that?

Just remind Trump he's in the Epstein files. An attempt to distract?

We define ourselves with our thoughts and actions. This says nothing about the Obamas, and everything about Trump.

President Obama always showed class and dignity in my opinion, and Trump has a long way to go to rise to Obama's level.

I can't imagine Macron approves of this.

It must be so satisfying taking those things down.

The war will be the last thing to stop getting funding. It's a matter of survival for the Putin regime.

Oligarchs created the problem in Russia, and now it seems the same is true of America.

Living in hope that America will come back from the dark side.

There is one immigrant, Elon Musk.

In other words, nothing has changed.

Russia is too huge to collapse anytime soon, but they certainly are in deep shit.

He's run out of missiles, there's no other reason.

Why not make it STOP or we'll fucking hammer the fuck out of you.

I worry that ICE will eventually become his personal guard force.

Someone who doesn't understand, who thinks he does understand.

I so wish they could destroy those missile and drone factories.

My very thought from watching the video was that he was trying to protect that woman.

Too late. You haven't admitted your mistake or even apologised.

It's a gang of thugs, not a police force.

On railway lines, as Switzerland has done.

But that doesn't address his enablers.

I don't think Trump is the problem. The problem is EVERY other person who enables his madness.

Unbelievable. If this was in a drama it would be considered too far fetched.

So much for free speech. It seems it's dependent on who's being targeted.

A big step towards the North Korea direction.

Lol. One for each war, so he wants 8 Nobel Peace prizes.

This reminds me of Russia.
