Josh Rogin: “Somebody shorted the oil market today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement—
If you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that's happened at least three times, if not more, since the war began — that's a pattern”
As long as Putin is in power election interference is a priority

Images of 1979 Iranian hostage crisis - one of the biggest failures of the presidency's international policy - constantly replayed in his head.
🇮🇷 NYT: Despite heavy strikes, Iran still retains substantial military capability—about 40% of its attack drones, roughly 60% of its missile launchers, and potentially up to 70% of its missile stockpile.
Has anyone in the media asked Trump how he feels about his DOJ being 0-5 in lawsuits to gain access to state voter rolls?
Seems like an important thing to ask.

"Putin is afraid of us." said a delusional Trump today. Trump boasted of ending Putin's illegal war of aggression on Ukraine in his first 24 hours as President and has recently provided sanctions relief while russia was providing to Iran targeting intelligence on U.S. forces in the Middle East.

🇺🇦"Kyiv in the 12th century was the capital of Europe's largest state, where Moscow stands today was a swampy area where only frogs croaked".
Worth listening for those who doesn’t know the history!
No lie detected.
On April 15th at the White House, Treasury Secretary Bessent was unequivocal that sanctions waiver (general license) on Russian oil will not be renewed.
The Trump administration quietly removed sanctions on Russian oil for another 30 days near end of day on Friday, April 17th.
Our government sucks. It’s teeming with sexual abusers, liars, thieves, and warmongers. We’re taxed on everything and anything. Our social support systems have been defunded. Poverty has been criminalized. Food is hard to obtain for many. Schools get shot up so gun sales maintain.
It’s sick.

🚨 CIRCUS: Just days after Treasury Secretary Bessent confirmed that 30-day US oil sanctions waiver will not be renewed following its expiration on April 11th.
The Trump administration overrode him on Friday April 17th and removed sanctions on Russian oil through May 16th.
PBS: “Trump’s Son-in-Law Jared Kushner’s venture capital firm has raised BILLIONS almost entirely from the Middle East… the same region Kushner is currently negotiating on behalf of the president.” 🤔
A recent poll in Serbia asked, "Who is responsible for the war in Ukraine?" The respondents answered:
▪️ NATO 31.1%
▪️ US 28.2%
▪️ Ukraine 16.1%
▪️ Russia 8%
▪️ EU 5.3%
Never let Serbia join the EU, and stop sending aid - forever, regardless of who is in power.
