#NATO has been warning us that Russia might call millions of men into arms as soon as 2026.

Putin is failing in Ukraine. His armies moved slower than a snail would have.

But he also knows the West isn’t ready to fight swarms of fiber-optic fpv drones on the battlefield, nor to defend their cities against 1000 Shahed drones attacking daily

“Held hostage” and “sexually assaulted”
Would have made this piece much more succinct and clear.

“Mr. Trump took her into a bedroom and forcibly kissed and fondled her, and restrained her from leaving. She also said that a 22-year-old contestant told her that Mr. Trump later that night crawled into her bed uninvited."

This meme is now circulating at warp speed across Canada after their newspapers warned Canadians they now have to pay $250.00 to visit our country. THIS IS SICKENING! That's $1500.00 for a family of six! How will our tourism survive, especially our border towns. Is this making us "better again"?

@QasimRashid Some of us should get hired into those positions and then release the prisoners. I’m serious.

Lisa Murkowski (R, invertebrate) feels “cheated” by Trump after he overturned, with the stroke of a pen, the concessions she thought she had secured for Alaska in the big ugly bill. She betrayed every single American with her vote to pass the bill, yet now she’s the victim. Of course.
