OUTRAGED minority still can’t cope with the idea that Brexit was tried, tested… and failed. 🤦‍♂️

📊 Polling:
• 5 million Leave voters passed
• Youth voters back Rejoin
• 1/3 of Leave now wants back in

🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺Britain is pro-EU.
❌ The only people still keeping Brexit alive are the ones making money off it.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

Why Ukraine-Russia Amnesty Would Violate Geneva Convention An amnesty would be unlawful and a moral abdication of the pursuit of accountability for victims in the Russia-Ukraine War.

An amnesty provision in any Ukraine-Russia peace plan would not only be a “moral abdication of the pursuit of accountability” for war crimes, but would violate Geneva Convention obligations, per Tracey Begley.

One of the items in the Ukraine “peace plan”: US officials are talking with BlackRock and the World Bank about setting up a Ukrainian Development Fund which could attract up to $400 billion for rebuilding Ukraine.

Trump wants the same…for Russia.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Ukrainian drones destroy 70% of Temryuk port fuel tanks in strike on key Russian supply hub A Ukrainian drone strike on the Temryuk seaport in Russia’s Krasnodar region has destroyed most of the facility’s fuel infrastructure. Ukraine’s General Staff released updated figures for the operation carried out on December 5, targeting the Temryuk seaport, which Russia has actively used to supply its forces. According to the new information, strike UAVs destroyed 20 fuel storage tanks - around 70% of the total. The loss significantly limits Russia’s ability to transport and stockpile fuel. Beyond the destroyed tanks, a fire continues to burn at the loading rack, where roughly two dozen rail cars carrying liquefied gas were located. As of the evening of December 7, the blaze had spread to nearly 1,000 square meters. Ukrainian forces say operations of this kind are intended to systematically degrade Russia’s military logistics and undermine its capacity to continue the war against Ukraine. The Temryuk seaport sits on the Sea of Azov in the Krasnodar region. It is one of Russia’s key transshipment points for petroleum products, liquefied gas and other cargo used to supply its forces. Its proximity to occupied territories makes it a crucial node in Russia’s logistics, enabling the movement of fuel and materiel to the southern front.

Putin’s Pokrovsk claim unravels as Ukraine holds parts of the city and Russia’s advance slows Despite the Kremlin’s high-profile declaration that Pokrovsk had been “taken,” Ukraine continues to hold parts of the city, and the pace of Russia’s advance has notably slowed. A week has passed since Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly announced the capture of the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk. Ukraine’s defense forces still control portions of the city, and Russian troops on this axis show signs of strain. The OSINT mapping project DeepState says Ukrainian defense forces remain present in the northern and eastern parts of Pokrovsk. About half of the settlement is a gray zone, meaning active combat is underway there. Analysts say Putin rushed to claim Pokrovsk to showcase a military success amid talks with Washington over a peace plan. But the situation on the ground appears far from what the Kremlin asserted — a view shared not only by Ukrainian and international military experts but also by pro-war Russian war channels on Telegram. Under Ukrainian control is not only part of Pokrovsk but also the neighboring city of Myrnohrad, despite intense Russian attempts to break through there. DeepState estimates that over the past week Russia advanced by roughly 33 square kilometers around Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, yet nearly half of Pokrovsk remains a gray zone, and Ukrainian defenders continue to hold positions in the north. The total weekly gain along the entire front was about 92 square kilometers — the most modest in the past five weeks. Military experts assess that Russia’s forces are slowing as Ukraine has managed to stabilize several critical sectors, notably around Vovchansk, Huliaipole, and Pokrovsk. Clearing fog has also allowed Ukrainian forces to step up drone use on the battlefield. Even so, the overall picture remains challenging for Ukraine. Pokrovsk is not the first time Russian leadership has announced victories that don’t align with available evidence. Alongside Pokrovsk, the Kremlin also claimed the capture of Vovchansk, but DeepState’s maps indicate roughly a third of that city remains under Ukrainian control. A similar pattern is seen in Chasiv Yar. Putin declared it “liberated” in the summer, yet a significant part of the city is still held by Ukrainian forces. Putin’s recent remark that “Kupiansk is effectively already under Russian control” also does not match the situation on the ground. Analysts say about half of the city remains outside Russian hands.

There is only one path to peace:

Apply devastating sanctions that destroy the war economy of aggressor Russia; impose a total embargo.

Give massive assistance to Ukrainian defenders to secure victory; liberate all occupied land and people.
