“The only way we’re going to lose this election is if the election is rigged.” - President Trump

If Trump loses, he contests the outcome. Doesn’t matter if it’s a landslide—the GOP ignores him and everyone moves on.

But if it’s close, the country has a problem.

Even without a shred of evidence, many of Trump’s base will believe him.

This strategy delegitimizes the US election, probably the single most anti-patriotic thing President Trump has done in office.

is the united states to blame for russia's invasion of ukraine? jeffrey sachs thinks so

let's debunk this claim (echoed by the kremlin, tucker carlson, elon musk, and the chinese) once and for all.

here are the facts:
gzeromedia.com/no-the-us-didn…

don’t listen to anyone that says the united states, nato, or ukraine did anything to cause russia to launch a war of aggression against its neighbor

putin chose to do this
the responsibility lies with him, and him alone
gzeromedia.com/no-the-us-didn…

the west did however miss critical opportunities to make putin’s decision less likely

there was no ‘marshall plan for russia’ post-soviet union collapse,
& the west failed to respond forcefully to putin’s acts of aggression before the full scale invasion
