Let me see if I got this right.
On September 2nd 2025 the U.S. killed 11 Venezuelan fishermen on a boat claiming, without evidence, that they were transporting drugs.
From the video the boat looks to be about 40 feet long.
You don't need an 11 man crew to transport drugs. 2-3 will do.

When I read this I can only assume she's talking about American Billionaires. She is describing them perfectly.
Hopefully her next post will describe how she deported them all and returned the wealth to the working class which earned, and was robbed of it.

This is the worst deal since the Minsk Agreements, which was the most useless treaty since the Budapest Memorandum.
Here's a plan:
1. Russia leaves ALL of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.
2. Russia returns ALL the kidnapped children.
3. Russia pays War reparations determined by Ukraine.

4. Russia publicly acknowledges starting the war and sets aside February 24th as a National Day of Remembrance.
5. Vladimir Putin, his Generals and oligarchs surrender themselves and their fortunes to the International Criminal Court in the Hague to stand trial.

This smells like outright collusion with Russia to me. Trump shrugs it off as what a dealmaker does: sell the plan to Ukraine, sell the plan to Russia. He says “we must end this war” and thinks he deserves the Nobel Prize??? Not if it's at the cost of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
