Subject: Meanwhile… Remember Ukraine?
Yeah, I know. t’s hard to keep your head above water in this flood of horseshit… but still…..

Trump continues his regular phone calls with Putin, who’s obviously now giving him instructions. The orange felon asked Putin to back off on Ukraine and got blown off: Putin started raining bombs, drones, and missiles on Kiev as they spoke on the phone. Trump obediently stopped the delivery of US weaponry to Ukraine after the call, dealing a devastating blow to the physically largest democratic nation in Europe. And, to add insult/threat to injury, Putin additionally said that he may not stop with Ukraine. NATO is officially facing a crisis and this moves the entire world closer to WWIII. Meanwhile, the 12th Russian oligarch — this time a bigwig in the oil industry — fell to his death from the 14th floor of a Moscow apartment building. One has to wonder if the billionaire American oligarchs who are supporting Trump realize that Putin was brought to power by morbidly rich Russian oligarchs, and then, when they started waffling on supporting his destruction of democracy in that nation, many ended up dead or in prison. Somebody might want to drop a note to Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, et al.
