More on it all…
- I am an American mother and I’m speaking for the majority of Americans when I say we the people are not behind the biden administration! The US has been in the wrong, NATO should have never continued to expand East.hold out until Trump gets into office. Americans want peace – Carmin Jean
- Thank you for being a level head Mr. Putin. We, the people of the USA, seek peace and friendship with you and the Russian people. We are praying that our oligarchs drop the aggressive escalation and for President Trump to make peace with you. – Owen
- The American people voted for peace this past election. This act of aggression on the part of the military industrial complex isn’t representative of the American people but of the oligarchs that control and dominate the west through economic terrorism.
- Story of the boy that cried “wolf”…too many redlines crossed and NATO doesn’t take him seriously…to our collective loss. His restraint may cost us all dearly. He will act when it’s too late to make a real difference as he’ll just hasten Armageddon instead of preventing it. – Ash
- Putin has been transparent and continues to be, while keeping his word and therefore proves to be trustworthy. while the western leaders lie, instigate, provoke, cheat, and threaten not just Russia but all mankind. we know who their controllers are, that our gov’ts are corrupt – Jodi Fran
- By the looks of it, Putin whipped out a new Russian ICBM that NATO defense systems cannot intercept, but did NOT attach nuclear payloads to them. Essentially, Putin just showed the West that he has the ability to destroy them if they keep provoking him. It was a warning. Putin just exercised extreme restraint, while also showing Ukraine/NATO that they are outgunned. This should be front page news on every outlet, but for some reason, it’s not. Perhaps it’s because this situation does not fit their narrative that Putin is this Hitler-esque loose-cannon who wants to conquer the world. Putin is showing restraint. He wants diplomacy, not nuclear war. But the West continue to poke the bear. We cannot wait until January 20th. We need Trump in office right now. – Clandestine
