Trump is now claiming that the US missile shortage is because Biden gave too many missiles to Ukraine.
That's a really blatant lie even by Trump's standards.
He's trying again to blame others for his disastrous mistakes.
What would expect when they put someone as inexperienced, unqualified, & incompetent as Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense? His resume includes Fox & Friends host, drunk, woman beater, low testosterone Grecian formula guy who can’t do a pull-up but always has hair/makeup done!
People are taking down United Russia (Putin's party) posters around the country. I have a feeling they're not as popular as the polls show, after all...
Still, the risk of Russians actually protesting is close to zero.
Putin remains convinced he can outlast the West, and the only way to shatter that calculation is to finally hand Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine.
Using Russia’s frozen assets to fund Ukraine’s defense is the single smartest move Europe can make to force Putin to rethink his timeline.
Russia has shown zero interest in genuine negotiations or ending this war. Instead, Moscow is preparing for future mobilizations and planning another brutal winter terror campaign against Ukrainian cities and power grids.
If Western leaders need a clear justification to act, Russia's continued escalation is more than enough proof that Kyiv urgently needs those funds to defend itself.
Transferring Russia's frozen assets right now provides Ukraine with a vital financial shield. Crucially, doing this immediately locks in long-term support before political shifts in Europe, like potential election victories for the RN in France or AfD in Germany, can block future EU aid packages (or a future transfer of the frozen assets).
It is both morally right and strategic to make the aggressor pay for Ukraine's defense rather than placing the burden entirely on European taxpayers. European voters would overwhelmingly prefer using Moscow's money to finance the war effort.
European leaders, particularly in Belgium, need to stop hiding behind legal hesitation while Euroclear sits on billions. Blocking these assets while Ukraine suffers leaves a heavy moral responsibility on those holding the money back
My 5% wealth tax on less than 1,000 billionaires would raise over $4.4 trillion to:
Provide $12,000 to a working family of 4
Enact universal childcare
Expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing
End homelessness
Require a $60,000 minimum salary for teachers
Let's get it done.
A Kyoto restaurant's sign told visitors its staff can only speak Japanese, and that anyone who can't should consider another store. Some took offense. Others noted the store wasn't barring foreigners, only that it couldn't support non-Japanese speakers.
