Just read this headline/article and ponder. Trump is so fucking moronic and dangerous, it is mind boggling. Will we actually ever recover or survive this disaster?

There is NO energy ceasefire: russia struck Ukraine’s energy infrastructure again overnight, leaving widespread power outages across five regions.

Also, russia hit multiple gas stations, including in Kyiv. This is the kind of “energy ceasefire” you can expect from russia.

As always, Trump lied.

Yes, more of this, including along Finland's border with RU, the forests of southeastern Estonia, northeastern Romania near the border with Moldova, and Türkiye's Black Sea coast -- creating strategic and operational dilemmas for Putin.

Drones over Lithuania, flares fired at Danish aircraft, the Polish border strike. These attacks are a direct result of Europe’s weak response to Leipzig & all other provocations.

It’s past time. The EU must ban Russian tourists. NATO must help defend western Ukrainian airspace.

In a blunt rejection of Trump’s demand to stop bombing russian oil refineries, Ukraine continues striking russian refineries.

Overnight Ukraine attacked the Rosneft's Syzran Refinery. Multiple fire hotspots have been recorded, including in the area of tanks with petroleum products.

If Trump says "stop hitting Russian energy targets" then that's your signal to increase the intensity. Maximum effort until Putin surrenders.
