🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺 Biden has reportedly authorized Ukraine to attack Russian territory with American long-range missiles.

🪖☢ This move brings NATO and Russia one step closer to war, which could involve nuclear weapons.

Here’s what you need to know (🧵1/10) Image
The New York Times, Reuters, and Axios are reporting that Biden gave Ukraine the greenlight to use US-made ATACMS to provide cover for Ukrainian troops occupying parts of Russia’s Kursk region.

This looks like an authorized leak by the Biden White House.

(2/10) Image
The Biden admin’s official pretext for this move is to “deter” North Korea from sending more troops to Russia.

Not sure we buy this explanation, and not only because we haven’t seen any evidence to suggest North Korean troops are fighting for Russia.

🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 Prediction: Israel will move to ANNEX the West Bank in 2025 sometime after Donald Trump returns to the White House.

This will take the Middle East crisis to a whole another level.

👇 Let’s examine the evidence pointing in that direction (🧵 1/8) Image
Israel’s hardline Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently announced that preparations to annex the West Bank have begun, adding “2025 will be, with God's help, the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.”

(2/8)
The Israelis have good reason to believe Trump will support them annexing the West Bank. During his first term, the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and Israel’s illegal annexation the Golan Heights.

Everyone is focused on who Trump will appoint Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.

But they should also pay close attention to becomes the next Senate Majority leader.

This will either make or break Trump’s efforts to end the Ukraine conflict. (🧵1/10) Image

In other words, if Trump wants to get his nominees and legislative agenda passed through the Senate, he needs the support of whoever is the Majority leader.

Senate majority leader can also force Trump’s hand by passing veto-proof legislation (2/3 majority vote)
