From 2014, when Putin first invaded Ukraine (since, approximately 14K killed, 3K civilian, & 1.5 million internally displaced)…
Ukraine honors it’s soldiers who die defending Europe from Putin’s war. This is what Putin does to Russian soldiers’ mothers. washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…
Russian soldiers who died in Putin’s war against Ukraine are disposable to the Kremlin, not honored for giving their lives fighting his illegal war, but hidden in unmarked graves, their deaths buried with lies.
Since 2014, mothers of Russian soldiers killed in Putin’s illegal war against Ukraine have been traumatized by Russia’s coverup of their sons’ cause of death. The truth interfered with Putin’s “plausible deniability” strategy to falsely paint his war as a “civil war” in Ukraine.
Last year, as Putin grew more aggressive toward Ukraine, he escalated his war on NGOs, including an NGO of Russian moms “defending rights of conscripts in the Russian Army for more than two decades;” it ceased activities after threats of persecution. rferl.org/amp/russia-sol…
No more Russian or Ukrainian mothers should have to lose sons fighting in Putin’s illegal and illegitimate war against Ukraine, which only serves the purpose of supporting his corruption while he terrorizes Russians, Ukrainians, and the world.

Article doesn’t mention how Spain’s far-right Vox was founded in 2013 with funding by the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK was taken off State’s list of terrorist organizations in 2012) or how Vox’s leader spewed QAnon disinformation re 2020 US election and spoke at CPAC in 2021.
While Ted Cruz provides support for the MEK-initiated Vox party in Spain, Rudy Giuliani is under criminal investigation for his work for MEK, which he’s acted as an agent for since at least 2010 when it was on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. foreignpolicy.com/2019/04/27/spa…
In 2010, when extremist cult MEK (once an ally of Saddam Hussein’s and whose leaders applauded the 9/11 attack) was on State’s terrorist list, then-Rep. Ted Poe (Texas), a birther, read into Congressional record Giuliani’s speech from an MEK rally in NYC. govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CR…
More terrorist attacks are expected as countless people are stranded in Afghanistan trying to evacuate while the Taliban calls the shots and ISIS and Al Qaeda target the U.S. and fight for power.
Trump and Biden both have blood on their hands for their part of this crisis.
The Trump administration was a treasonous criminal regime; its top guy is among many facing future criminal indictments.
The Biden administration failed to treat the job like a crime scene. Any deal that Putin’s POTUS made, especially with the Taliban, needed to be voided.
Biden played a pivotal role in U.S. history by democratically transitioning power from the Kremlin’s weapon in the White House, back to the U.S. But Biden and his advisors have made him a one-term President with their “better than Trump” strategy, which hurts national security.
President Joe Biden’s speech was a failure, just like his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. It was misleading and offensive. It was a speech of a one-term President.
When Putin’s former POTUS used his position to weaken the Afghan government and strengthen the Taliban, the U.S. military stabilized the situation. Biden’s job was not to worsen it. He failed and gave a speech blaming those currently fleeing for their lives from the Taliban.
Before his term ends, Biden will have to deal with the “Taliban narco-state” of Afghanistan, a crisis the next U.S. President will inherit and will require a global response. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Every member of the Kremlin’s ‘Freedom Caucus’ needs to be prosecuted for crimes against the U.S. and the deaths of countless Americans.
These criminals are spineless cowards who will go as low as required to serve Putin while humiliating themselves and betraying their country.
Putin’s ‘Freedom Caucus’ members need to be arrested and prosecuted for conspiring to overthrow the U.S. and participating in a domestic terrorist attack against Congress and the Vice President to illegally keep in power Putin’s Oval Office operative. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
Putin’s top FL ‘Freedom Caucus’ operative Ron DeSantis is killing Americans and worsening a pandemic. He’s a five-alarm threat to Florida and national security.
The Republican Party is split between those who work for different sectors of Vladimir Putin’s interests. Some as disinformation/chaos agents, others as business partners, like in the energy industry. The former are openly leading QAnon. They need to be arrested and interrogated.
The President of the United States is Joe Biden. Any elected official who says otherwise needs to be immediately terminated from office and arrested by the FBI as a domestic terrorist. Traitors need to be put on trial, including current/former members of the House Freedom Caucus.
A U.S. Capitol Police Officer, one of many who risked their lives protecting democracy and lost colleagues who died doing so, recently testified before Congress that those involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol are domestic terrorists.
a) Putin causes humanitarian crises, he doesn’t alleviate them;
b) Putin uses humanitarian crises, including those he causes, to further the Kremlin’s agenda, using Russia’s “aid” as political propaganda that advances military objectives.
In 2014, Putin invaded and illegally annexed part of Ukraine, causing a humanitarian crisis displacing millions and escalated his war in eastern Ukraine using humanitarian aid as cover to advance military operations; fake aid for a crisis he created.
In 2020, during peak of pandemic, as Russia executed a disinformation operation about Covid aimed to hurt the West, Putin sent “aid” to Italy that looked like a soft power move; turned out to be 80% worthless and gave cover for a GRU intel operation.
