TODAY, a Russian ship rammed a Ukrainian tugboat (below) sailing from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov

Russian special forces captured the tugboat & 2 more Ukrainian ships, claiming they violated Russian waters

...a 2003 treaty says the waters are shared
The Black Sea and Sea of Azov are connected only by a narrow waterway called the Kerch Strait.

...Russia has now blocked that waterway, cutting off two of Ukraine’s most important ports.
Russia is now blocking Ukraine from accessing their Sea of Azov ports by parking this big-ass Russian ship under a Russian-controlled bridge

...the Bridge of Crimea is 11 miles long and connects Russian annexed Crimea with Russia.
In addition to their ship parked under the bridge, Russian is buzzing fighter jets from above.

UN Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted today that an emergency UN Security Council meeting has been called for Monday morning.

WHILE THIS INTERNATIONAL, RUSSIA-FUELED SHIT-STORM IS GOING DOWN, Trump is busy stuffing his face, tweet-attacking Hillary, the women and kids at the border seeking asylum, and NATO

...and, of course, tweet-praising Mississippi Repub Cindy Hyde-Smith.

@RepSwalwell In 1991, NBC News reports on Trump’s collapsing businesses and high lifestyle

...as US bankers closed in.

Trump then went on to devour his dad’s empire. When that was gone, 2 things saved him: (1) Russian money and (2) reality TV stardom.

@RepSwalwell Trump Claims He Received Only $1 Million From His Dad, Fred Trump.

In fact, Trump received the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his dad’s real estate empire.

...Trump was born an inch from home plate, and still almost effed it up.

@RepSwalwell How Fred Trump used a GRAT (grantor-retained annuity trust used to pass wealth through generations)

...to pass his massive wealth to his kids, while avoiding 100’s of millions in estate taxes.

A 670 Mil. empire, valued for estate tax purposes at 41 Mil.

Today Trump Attacked McCain’s Naval Academy Ranking

This from a guy who (1) hid his HS & college grades and (2) dodged Vietnam service with a fake bone spurs claim.

McCain, Purple Heart & Silver Star recipient, returning home after 1,967 days as a POW.

In 1967, McCain’s bomber was shot down. He ejected. The force broke both arms & his leg.

He sank to a lake bottom, but pulled his life preserver with his teeth.

Upon capture, they shattered his shoulder with a rifle butt, & stabbed him in the gut & foot.
After learning his dad was an admiral, the North Vietnamese hoped to score a propaganda victory by offering McCain an early release.

McCain refused the offer on the condition that he would only accept if every man captured before him was released as well.
