Trump was given an opportunity to say it is wrong for russians to attack Ukrainian civilians with ballistic missiles. He refused to do so. Trump has the power to stop the russians killing Ukrainians. He refuses to do so. Trump is a russian asset. Trump is a monster.

Putin puppet Trump hands over U.S. taxpayer dollars to Russia and perhaps gets an insignificant amount of diesel. Russia takes the money and increases its attacks on Ukraine and support for Iran. Iran takes the support and blows up more oil tankers and kills more U.S. soldiers.

Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, announced Russia rejected a proposed 60-day ceasefire with Ukraine. The Russians reject all ceasefires and all real peace talks. Russians will never stop waging a genocidal war on Ukraine because they are confident Trump is their slave.

The more Ukraine strikes data centres in fascist russia the smaller the online presence of Alberta separatists, the MAGA death cult and the AfD neo-Nazis. Genuine support for these extremist movements has always been small. They've been artificially amplified by russian information warfare.
