If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

🇪🇺 Kaja Kallas: In the last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia.
We need to seek concessions on the Russian side on limitation on their military budget, their army, or nuclear weapons.

This is the most on‑point analysis I’ve heard in a long time - absolutely on target and alarming! Steven Rosenberg, the BBC’s Moscow correspondent, has such a clear and grounded way of explaining what’s happening, sourced from Russian newspapers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsBA...
“Europe’s at a loss. It’s a pleasure to watch,” writes Russian newspaper on Trump & Greenland.
