I wonder how much Russia ally, Venezuela, figures into the phone conversations between Trump and Putin, i.e.,"You take Ukraine and leave Venezuela for me," or "Stay out of Venezuela or I'll sell Zelensky some Tomahawks."

Russian news agency, TASS, celebrates Defense Secretary "White-Knuckled" Pete Hegseth's choice of tie. Blue on top, white in the middle and red on the bottom is the VFW guideline for U.S. patriotic bunting. There were similar complaints for Trump's B-day parade and the order of

The more I cross check, the worse it gets. Decoration: "Never use the flag for decoration. Use bunting with the blue on top, then white, then red." VFW.

This is Hegseth at the meeting with Zelensky. This russian flag tie is an intentional insult and tells all we need to know of this person. Hegseth is an asshole. #Hegseth #Zelensky

In St Petersburg, the woman that led crowds in singing anti-war songs 3 days ago, with lyrics such as "old man in a bunker" and "when the czar dies" now faces trial and up to 12 years in prison. Russians will allow their Czar to do anything to them. Slavery defined.

I don't have a clue about Hegseth's choice of tie. Red, white and blue is in a lot of flags. Blue on top, white in the middle and red on the bottom is the VFW guideline for patriotic bunting. Russian news agency, TASS, doesn't care. Good for opportunist psyop?

My understanding is the Trump White House approved the SALE$$$ of 350 Javelins between 2017 and 2019 with restrictions that they be used for defensive purposes in Western Ukraine. They were a big help, but not a game changer and not used on the frontline after the 2014 invasion.

Most military observers say Ukraine repelled Russia because Russian forces were unprepared, ill-equipped, lacked even basic, updated road maps. Summing up, Russian military miscalculations, logistical failures, and effective tactics. And after interviewing one commander defending

Trump: The Russians would have been in Kyiv very quickly if it was not for the weather and the Javelins. In war, you have a lot of luck too. Some brilliant general decided to go through the mud.

A very different welcome from the red-carpet treatment for Putin in Alaska.... But, to be fair, there is red carpet on the steps of the boarding bridge.

Imagine this,when Zelensky landed in Washington, there was no American guard of honor, no officials, no ceremony, absolutely nothing. In a desperate attempt to save face, he had to stage his own “welcome,” greeted only by members of his entourage, including his own pilot who

Impressive walk out by the news media. Very impressive. Now, the public can rely on the fawning alt-right media to slobber over the MAGA party line at the Hegseth's self-proclaimed "War" department.

If I were Trump, I would approve the Tomahawk missiles and move other weapon systems forward ASAP in anticipation of the next summit with Putin. But, of course, I am not Trump and if past is prologue, it won't happen. As for Europeans are concerned, carry on. Don't wait for any
