While Trump is focused on his new war in Iran, Russia is reaping all the rewards.

Sky high oil prices and a waiver on sanctions are exactly what Putin needed to keep fighting in Ukraine.

Moscow could not have planned a better distraction

So Trump called Putin to get his orders. I hope I live long enough for the Kompromat reveal.

Estimated election expenses limits for candidates calculated as of NovemberΒ 15, 2025 ---

In Canada we impose limits on campaign spending as well as the length of time a campaign can run. These are good policies because they keep us sane.

They should have known. He was always clearly full of sh*t and lying all the time, clearly so vain and narcissistic that he could get easily played, and uneducated and stupid and surrounded by incompetent grifters. It seems obvious it was all going to go to crap.

Trump can’t expect Europe’s help dealing with Iran while disengaging from Europe and abandoning Ukraine.

You can’t demand European solidarity in the Middle East while leaving us alone against Russian aggression.

It goes both ways

Yesterday's strike on Tehran fuel depots caused a spill that sent burning fuel flowing through the capital's street drains, triggering additional fires across the city. #Iran

Despite everything Trump is doing to benefit Russia and hurt Ukraine, there is a silver lining.

He is destroying his own chances in the 2026 midterms.

He will lose unless he cheats, and he will absolutely try.

If he loses, Ukraine benefits heavily

Watching the West defend the Middle East against Iran’s drones reveals a sickening double standard.

Ukrainians have endured years of Russian missiles and shaheds with heavily restricted strike capabilities and insufficient air defense.

Why the hesitation to defend Kyiv?

Putin is giving targeting information to Iran to help them target American soldiers and assets and Trump repays him by cancelling oil sanctions.

Putin is a terrible and overrated strategist, as recent years have shown.

However, he is a genuine opportunist who knows when to abandon allies and how to make the most of any situation.

He’s doing that now with the war involving Iran

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

1/ Russian bloggers are waking up to the fact that they live in an oppressive dictatorship with declining living standards. 14 years after Vladimir Putin was reelected as "a strong leader for a great country," commentators are asking: what has Putin ever done for us? ⬇️

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

It takes a special kind of hypocrisy to be a gay immigrant who gets incredibly rich off the freedoms of liberal California, only to turn around and bankroll an authoritarian movement.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
