No need for standup or comedy when you've got Russia leading the UN.
Fortunately, Russian lies and propaganda are a well-known fact by now. The event was attended by less than 20 people. A Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Ilchenko gave the correct definition of what was happening - a clown show. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin#EU#NATO#UN
#NATO allies have agreed to fund military aid for #Ukraine with 40 billion euros ($43 billion) next year, two Western European diplomats told Reuters on Wednesday, a week before the alliance's leaders are set to meet in #Washington.
Donald #Trump has threatened to leave #NATO so many times โ or has appeared to, anyway โ that for many of his critics, itโs a question of when, not whether, heโd ditch the 75-year-old alliance if heโs reelected president in November.
But even if he doesnโt formally leave the organization, that doesnโt mean NATO would survive a second Trump term intact.
Moscowโs operations have escalated across the continent, from employing thugs for hits in sympathetic countries to massive covert campaigns to sow havoc.
Whether it be daylight assassinations, attempted coups, or paying off right-wing aka nazis aka republicans both the scale and the scope of Russiaโs covert operations abroad have now reached a level not seen since the height of the Cold War.
The Kremlin's "active measures" against Europe and the US constitute a significant front in the Kremlin's war with Western democratic governments.

A reminder to the west. Russia is fighting a war against all of the west. Ukraine is the the main battlefield. Supporting Ukraine is self preservation #Ukraine
Western weakness with regard to Ukraine โ failure to deliver whatโs necessary โ is understood by Russia and China as failure to stand up for own interest, which is provoking more aggression to test US and partners. Chinaโs escalation in the South China Sea follows from that.
For 10 years, #NATO should have been providing defensive air cover to protect #Ukraine from #Russian missiles, bombs and drones, once they are in Ukranian airspace.
Can someone tell me why (other than toothless saber rattling from #Putin) that prevents this from happening?
Does anyone think Putin would attack bases where NATO planes are launched from? Really?

Wow, Germany actually arrests people for espionage instead of putting them on the ballot for president? I wish that I lived in a sensible country where espionage is punished. What an exotic land Germany must be.
