The US, always on the right side of history, disagrees.

Scott Galloway: "Operation Epic Fury has already cost $23 billion. That is enough to build more than 72,000 units of affordable housing, provide SNAP benefits to 2.5 million households, or offer free preschool to 1.5 million kids. On an individual taxpayer basis, the war has already cost you nearly $140. If the additional $200 billion in funding goes through, the cost per taxpayer would be about $1,400. Do you have anything youโ€™d rather spend $1,400 on?"

In case you think losing 95k scientists in a year is normal, it's decidedly not.

The church has no place in how a state should be run. That's why we must separate religion from politics.

Due to Trump easing sanctions, russia is able to sell more oil at a higher price. This has no effect on global energy markets, but the russian war economy is getting a big boost just as the invaders' spring offensive gets underway in #Ukraine. The US pedophile is a russian asset.

Russia attempting new offensives as weather warms, Zelensky says

"The only tangible outcome for the Russian army has been an increase in their losses...In just these seven days, there have already been more than 8,000 killed and seriously wounded Russian soldiers."

The Kyiv Independent

"Fridayโ€™s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards."
