Will Donald Trump uphold NATO defense commitments when Russia invades the Baltics next? No, Trump will do nothing. Trump favors Putin and Russia.

4. Europe must offer Ukraine all the financing & arms it needs to defeat Russia.
5. Europe can only finance Ukraine sufficiently by seizing the Russian state assets in the West ($300bn), which Witkoff & Kushmer want to embezzle for themselves. /2

Drug traffickers chase profit, terrorists chase fear. Trafficking is a criminal enterprise, terrorism is violence meant to intimidate or murder civilians. Ask yourself which party is targeting and killing civilians, and you’ll know who the real terrorists are.

The US has invaded other countries before on the pretense of drug smuggling. Panama for instance, so we're probably going to war with Venezuela. Goody...

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
