Is Donald Trump actually an Anti Christ

RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

you might be right but maybe not so.
China is mindfully implementing non-violence in this region, however mean while Australian's trade with China is being undermined previous large Chinese investments in example Indonesia who is selling cheaper than Australia was. Australian exports have greatly suffered in direct consequence.
China's NPI producers started building processing capacity in Indonesia itself. China's nickel matte imports have exploded from 10,8000 tons in 2020 to 300,500 tons in 2023, with Indonesia accounting for 93% of the total.
4 Mar 2024

Indonesia currently without mobilizing have something like 750,000 armed personnel that figure includes police & police militia. There are currently 21,000 commando's sitting around in Irian Jaya, 450km from Cape York Australia. China has fostered good relationships with most of the 150 Belt & Road Initiative including Russia and is no more likely to back down over Ukraine than Russia. Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, as well as North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, South Africa other nations including nations in South America etc etc.
Lots of deployments listed in blog could shut down international trade sooner than later whether we like it or not, take looksie at Red Sea, Panama Carnal, Strait of Hormuz e.g. oil, no oil, no food in supper market

U mean on Ukraine?
From what I heard Putin is one step away from any roundtable, he just need an sms saying "tea is served" and he'll be there in 15min. Zsky is not far away either, we're waiting for the USA.

Australia just withdrew 100 troops and aircraft from active service in Poland monitoring Russian planes on behalf the Jewish lead Nazi's in west Ukraine.
In response, the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, confirmed that there are a “small number” of British army personnel “supporting the armed forces of Ukraine”. But he added that “we haven't got any plans for large-scale deployment”.5 Mar 2024

Methinks China is sitting on the fence with this one as it cannot afford to become too embroiled with Russia due to its huge trade involvement with the West.

There is a table waiting for a peace talk somewhere along the line but who's going to draw up the first chair?

You really think Poland would join nato after being invaded by them? Really?

Poland is the highest contributor to nato.

Keep believing the lies, it’s entertaining.

Oh there were and are not any nato forces in Ukraine.

RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

On first February 1968 early a.m. 27 Vietcong popped up 50,000 American troops were confined to there billets and for few days VC took large part of Saigon, entered US Embassy and held it for three days, took most major cities in South Vietnam and so Kissinger attempted to find a face saving exit out of Vietnam that didn't occur until 1975 after 18 Marines were killed in an ambush in Cambodia.
America has been creating war after war more or less since its federation, according to president Carter. America has been engaged in wars whole time except for twenty three years since its federation is what President Carter stated.
America is controlled by the filthy rich at the expense of there bairn washed kids. By my reckoning Russia lost 28 million people during WW2, Putin stated 22 million, millions died in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and so forth. Obama Clinton and Biden engorged the protesters on the streets of Ukraine after the formation of Democratic Russian Federation Constitution was ratified 11th December 1993. You might remember Biden stated he would put troops into Ukraine in 1971.
In my opinion having at least tried to comprehend the subject matter, my opinion is President Putin & China + others nations wont back down...be just another lost course that made profits for a few

Put your head in Putins place.
Show some respect to your enemy, or face the consequenses mate.
And who are you to go there provoke Ivan for me anyway hmm?,
so me and my family next will be potential victims of Ruski retaliation,
and then I mean Atom war full wipeout.

This is why I can not respect your view.
You are gambling with my safety here.

With those strong words I plan to leave this blog.

If you're ok with Russian rockets at Cuba
I'm ok with Nato forces
on all former Soviet territory.
Mexico also, same thing.
When I see Russian cruise missiles there I'll adopt you thinking
on Ukrainian membership in the Nato alliance.

Cos then we can talk about a balance in the arms race,
hence world peace.

RE: Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

Nato 'invaded' the following countries after they promised grusome Ivan not to:

Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Estonia, Lativa, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Finland and Sweden.
I dont thi k Russai lobved none of those.

Ivan eventually drew a line with Georgia and now Ukraine.
But they were slow and hesitant about this last stand,
that was not even meant to be a war.
Putin hoped his tanks would be deturrent enough when suddenly standing in Kiev,
but he underestimated the invading forces of Nato who was already there,
with much of their latest modern equipment in place.
So here we are: war.

How can anyone vote for Trump when even his staff wont support him

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

The Courts in New York use New York State Law to prosecute Trump because it suits them. But when they don't get the Verdict they want from the Jury they twist the Legal Jury’s Verdict in order to achieve their desired wording.
If you want to see a recent example of this shenanigans look at the case of the 'Changing Room Affair'.

Embroiled

RE: Embroiled...

The heading of the blog is misleading in that Trump was not involved in this crime of fraud. The only mention of his name is in the name of the company which was to be merged at some future date.

Also share prices go up and down all the time so to disparage Trump for this is simply wrong.

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

Over 10,300 ballots in Georgia were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match Georgia residents who died in 2020 and prior to the election. More than 2,500 ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match incarcerated felons in Georgia prison. People who are not allowed to vote. More than 4,500 illegal ballots were cast by individuals who do not appear on the state’s own voter rolls. Over 18,000 illegal ballots were cast by individuals who registered to vote using an address listed as vacant, according to the postal service. At least 88,000 ballots in Georgia were cast by people whose registrations were illegally backdated.
In the State of Arizona, over 36,000 ballots were illegally cast by non-citizens. 2,000 ballots were returned with no address. More than 22,000 ballots were returned before they were ever supposedly mailed out. They returned, but we haven’t mailed them yet. 11,600 more ballots and votes were counted more than there were actual voters. You see that?
150,000 people registered in Maya Copa County after the registration deadline. 103,000 ballots in the county were sent for electronic adjudication with no Republican observers. In Clark County, Nevada, the accuracy settings on signature verification machines were purposely lowered before they were used to count over 130,000 ballots. If you signed your name as Santa Claus, it would go through. There were also more than 42,000 double votes in Nevada. Over 150,000 people were hurt so badly by what took place. And 1,500 ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match Nevada residents who died in 2020, prior to November 3rd election. More than 8,000 votes were cast by individuals who had no address and probably didn’t live there.
In Michigan quickly, the secretary of state, a real great one, flooded the state with unsolicited mail-in ballot applications, sent to every person on the rolls, in direct violation of state law.
More than 17,000 Michigan ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth matched people who were deceased. In Wayne County, that’s a great one. That’s Detroit. 174,000 ballots were counted without being tied to an actual registered voter. Nobody knows where they came from.

How can anyone vote for Trump when even his staff wont support him

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

I'll try to post more detail, in advance no offense intended however sorry is quite large amount...
Please find few extracts copied from a copy of transcript of Trump’s speech outlining his part brief of evidence being full of transcript President Donald Trump is alleging considerable abnormalities during the recent elections. E.g. it is now up to Congress!!

Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi are pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to strip Trump of his power by declaring him unable to fulfil his duties. If Pence refuses, as expected, the group will move forward bringing the impeachment case to the floor as soon as Monday.

Hundreds of thousands of American patriots are committed to the honesty of our elections and the integrity of our glorious republic.
Almost 75 million people voted for our campaign, the most of any incumbent president by far in the history of our country, 12 million more people than four years ago. I was told by the real pollsters, we do have real pollsters. They know that we were going to do well, and we were going to win. What I was told, if I went from 63 million, which we had four years ago to 66 million, there was no chance of losing. Well, we didn’t go to 66. We went to 75 million and they say we lost. We didn’t lose.
By the way, does anybody believe that Joe had 80 million votes? Does anybody believe that? He had 80 million computer votes. It’s a disgrace.
Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy.
Today, for the sake of our democracy, for the sake of our constitution, and for the sake of our children, we lay out the case for the entire world to hear. You want to hear it?
Crowd: Yes!
In every single swing state, local officials, state officials, almost all Democrats made illegal and unconstitutional changes to election procedures without the mandated approvals by the state legislatures, that these changes paved the way for fraud on a scale never seen before. And I think we’d go a long way outside of our country when I say that.
There were over 205,000 more ballots counted in Pennsylvania. Now think of this. You had 205,000 more ballots than you had voters. That means you had 200 …Where did they come from? You know where they came from? Somebody’s imagination. Whatever they needed. So in Pennsylvania you had 205,000 more votes than you had voters! And it’s the number is actually much greater than that now. That was as of a week ago. And this is a mathematical impossibility, unless you want to say it’s a total fraud. So Pennsylvania was defrauded.
Over 8,000 ballots in Pennsylvania were cast by people whose names and dates of birth match individuals who died in 2020 and prior to the election.
Over 14,000 ballots were cast by out-of-state voters. So these are voters that don’t live in the state. And by the way, these numbers are what they call outcome determinative. Meaning these numbers far surpass … I lost by a very little bit. These numbers are massive. Massive. More than 10,000 votes in Pennsylvania were illegally counted, even though they were received after Election Day. In other words, “They were received after Election Day, let’s count them anyway!” And what they did in many cases is they did fraud. They took the date and they moved it back, so that it no longer is after Election Day. And more than 60,000 ballots in Pennsylvania were reported received back. They got back before they were ever supposedly mailed out. In other words, you got the ballot back before you mailed it!
Now that’s many, many times what it would take to overthrow the state. Just that one element. 400,000 ballots appeared from nowhere, right after the election.

Elections Expert Releases FULL Voter Fraud Report for 2020 Election, Indicates 8.1M Excess Votes

REAKING: Elections Expert Releases FULL Voter Fraud Report for 2020 Election, Suggests 8.1M Excess Votes
By: Renaissance Pundit, August 4, 2021
Former baseball analyst and Retired Army Intelligence Captain Seth Keshel has announced his 2020 Election audit, the Gateway Pundit reports. The results are staggering.
Trump won: PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA, MN
Likely/Possible Trump if cyber flipping occurring: NM, VA, CO, NJ, NH
Closer than you thought: WA, OR, RI, CT, HI

Here is rough data uncovered by Keshel:

While most mainstream media sources claim the election was 100% valid, evidence continues to mount that suggests otherwise. Whether or not the extent of fraud would change the outcome, many Americans are looking for their elected officials to audit the 2020 Election.

Pence’s refusal to reject the 2020 election results on Jan. 6, 2021,

Pence never intended to introduce the fake electors — and in fact understood that he was legally prohibited from doing so, his chief of staff Marc Short said in an interview. But Pence wanted to clearly communicate his rationale for that decision to Trump supporters, who had been led to believe it was possible.

Days before Jan. 6, 2021, Short said, Pence took an active role in crafting the specific language he used during the session of Congress that was later disrupted by a pro-Trump mob intent on preventing the election from being finalized.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/11/pence-jan-6-election-certification-script-00016539
--------------------------------------
Pence said that he’d begun election night in 2020 confident, but things changed later in the evening, he wrote, when results in states with large shares of mail-in ballots “began to shift” and the Trump-Pence ticket’s lead “started to vanish.”

“The mood in the White House, initially ebullient, began to sour,” Pence wrote.

He described watching Trump claim in an early Wednesday morning speech that the election process had been “a fraud on the American public” and said the days that followed the election were “a little like the twilight zone,” as Trump’s team challenged states’ results.

Pence wrote that in 2018, when he was representing the United States at the ASEAN conference in Singapore – the type of meeting he says Trump “was never big on” – he was approached at a plenary session with a tap on the shoulder by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I noticed that Putin projected a familiarity toward me. It came, I concluded, from his friendly meeting with Trump earlier in the year. It was as if we were old acquaintances,” Pence wrote. “I didn’t return the favor. I kept my expression firm and fixed, and the photo of me looking down at him with a furrowed brow and a grim expression was published around the world, just as I’d hoped it would be.”
At the end of the session, during a brief meeting requested by the Russians, Pence said Putin “was just inches from me, expecting a friendly chat.”
When Putin wrapped up his comments about restarting nuclear nonproliferation negotiations, Pence said he told the Russian leader: “Mr. President, we know what happened in 2016, and it can’t happen again.”

Jakarta. Air Marshal Mohamad Tonny Harjono was sworn in as the new chief of staff of the Indonesian Air Force on Friday, succeeding Air Chief Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo, who is set to retire next week.

The inauguration ceremony, led by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo at the State Palace in Jakarta, was attended by key cabinet members, including Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, the winner of the Feb. 14 presidential election.

Tonny, 52, is a former combat pilot with experience flying American fighter jet the F-16, as well as Russian jets like the Su-27 and Su-30.

According to the Antara news agency, Tonny was one of the four pilots who scrambled to intercept two American fighter jets that had trespassed into Indonesian airspace during an incident in July 2003. This incident led to an apology from the US Embassy in Jakarta to the Indonesian government.

What Makes Jesus Unique No one else made the claims that He did He is aliveonline today!

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

We had a fig tree in my backyard growing up and here's what happens with a fig tree every winter.
It loses all its leaves, but it looks dead, absolutely dead.

Like it's been dry for years. And you could just push it over with a light shove every year. I'd look out at this tree and I'd say, hey, dad, are we going to chop that thing down? It's dead. And he'd say, just wait.

Just wait for spring. I think he was crazy. And then sure enough, every year it's spring leaf start coming back. That awful stinky fruit starts coming back and falling all over the ground again. Things are nasty. I'm sorry if that's offensive to you. And this would happen every single year.

And when you put this all together, all these pieces together, many pastors, including me, believe that this Remez is pointing to this prophetic picture that political Israel is going to be dead for a winter season, just like a fig tree. However, there's going to come a time when all of a sudden political Israel is going to start coming back to life like a fig tree bearing leaves in the spring.

And that what Jesus is saying is, hey, when you see that happen, when you see political Israel come back to life, know that the kingdom of God, the second coming, all these end times, events are right about to happen.

So would you write this down and I'll talk about. Some more Jesus's teaching that the rebirth of political Israel will be a sign that in times events are very, very near.

They are very, very near.

And how true this has been and how history has played out. We are miraculously on course with this interpretation of the parable of the fig tree.

Let me tell you the story. Fascinating story of 20th century history. If you've been with us the past few weeks, you know that in 70 A.D., the Romans have just had it with Israel. They're tired of these attempted rebellions. The Jews will never do what they tell them to do. They're mad. And so they say, we're done with Israel. We're burning this whole thing to the ground. They destroy the city of Jerusalem to the ground.

A million and a half Jews lose their lives in just 18 months and they run for their lives across the world in the event known as the diaspora. They go to Poland, they go to Ethiopia, they go to Bokha in south Florida. They go all over the world in the diaspora.

What the Romans do is they rename the territory Felicio after Israel's greatest traditional enemies, the Philistines. And in that language at that time, the more common way of saying Finistere was simply Palestine, Palestine. That's where the name comes from. And that's how it got called, that it was an insult toward Israel by the Romans.

A few straggling Jews try to attempt a few guerrilla rebellions, and they're all wiped out completely by 132 A.D. And after that, the land formerly known as Israel becomes a desolate wasteland.

Nobody even wants it. Nobody is fighting over Israel at that time. Indeed, the nation of Israel found itself in a long winter, ceasing to exist as a country like a fig tree.

Israel looked dead. Israel looked dead because for 19 hundred years, basically, she was, and as the centuries passed, even the world's greatest Bible students and theologians began to say, Listen, I know, I know there's all these prophecies in the Bible that require Israel to exist and Jerusalem to exist and for there to be a temple and all these things.

But listen, it's been 500 years, a thousand years, 1400 years, 900 years. And I feel pretty confident saying Israel is dead. Its place has been a wasteland for centuries. Nothing's happening here.

So we must be interpreting the Bible wrong that this must be something else. It must be an allegory, a metaphor or something, because the idea of Israel becoming a country again after 1500 years was laughable.

What Makes Jesus Unique No one else made the claims that He did He is aliveonline today!

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

I'll say this in relation to what I've just said and in relation what I'm about to say, any time Mr. Passerby's here teaching, we would always encourage you to test what we say against the scriptures. Don't believe anything that I say because you hear me say it.

Get into the Bible for yourself, dig into it for yourself. If you completely disagree with me and think I'm crazy and want to get in the Bible to prove me wrong. Praise God. That would be awesome. I'd love to see you dig into the Bible. Even if you want to try and just prove me wrong, I would welcome that.

So do your own research, have some good discussions, but get into the word for yourself.

I also want to be as transparent with you as I can be.

There are sort of two levels to this metaphor, this parable that Jesus gives about the fig tree.

He says now learn this parable from the fig tree when its branches already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know, that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the door.

There's sort of two levels to this, as there are multiple levels to things all over the scriptures. Perhaps you've had this experience, you read something in the Bible, you go back, you read the same thing a year later and you see something, you get something out of it you didn't get last time because there are layers to the word of God.

It's inexhaustible. You can understand it on one level. Then you grow, you become more like Jesus. You have more of the spirit in you. You go back and read again with greater understanding. You get more out of it, you get more out of it, you get more out of it.

And so the first level that we want to talk about here that's worth mentioning, it's the view that Jesus is simply saying to those who are listening to him, especially the Jews, that all the signs he's told them about Antichrist, the temple being rebuilt, the abomination of desolation, the tribulation, all these things are signs that the second coming is imminent. It's about to happen. Just like leaves on a tree are a sign that summer is on the way.

And because in Luke's account, it doesn't just say fig tree.

It says, look at the fig tree and all the trees. Some will hold the view and they'll say that that's all there is to it. There's just this one level. Jesus is just saying, hey, when you see all these things happening, the second coming is very, very close. We would also learn from this. Things like all these things are going to take place in one generation.

All these things are going to take place in one generation, not spread out across different centuries.

So that level is true. It's absolutely correct. That is what Jesus is saying. That is what the Bible is saying.

But there's a second view that I personally hold to and I'm going to dive a little deep into. But I wanted you to understand that that first level first, because there's another level and the rabbis call it a Remez, a Remez, and so a Remez is like a hidden, deeper, mystical level to a passage of scripture.

And they believe many do, including me, that there is such a Remez in this parable of the fig tree.

Because you see throughout the Bible, whenever the fig tree shows up, it's always in proximity to Israel being talked about as a nation politically every time it shows up in the Bible.

So would you write this down? First of all, in the Bible, the fig tree is used as a type of political Israel. It's used as a type of political Israel.

And even if you take Haluk words into account, Jesus still specifically mentions the fig tree. He could have just said learn from the trees.

But in all three gospels, he specifically highlights a fig tree and nothing in the Bible is by accident. What's unique about the fig tree is that it follows the seasons very intensely, unusually intensely.

What Makes Jesus Unique No one else made the claims that He did He is aliveonline today!

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

With that in mind, he says in verse 32. Now learn this parable from the fig tree when its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves.

You know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors now to make sure that we're connecting the dots, I want you to know that the summer Jesus refers to in verse 32 and the IT in verse thirty three, the subject of this prophecy is the Kingdom of God. And you say, how do you know that, Jeff?

Well, we know it because in Luke 21 31, it records these words of Jesus this way. It's on your outlines.

So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near, the kingdom of God is near. How near did he say?

At the doors, at the doors, giving us this picture of Jesus standing with his hand at the doorknob, about to turn it. And if you've studied Revelation, that's a cross reference to revelation for one.

If you want to dig into that now, I have to take a second for you.

Theology nerds, people who love to study the Bible, want to know more about it, want to dig into it. I've got to take a minute, basically, just to stir up some trouble and give you something great to talk about among yourselves.

OK, Jesus says when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Now to state the obvious, if the kingdom of God is near, if it's almost here, then it can't be here yet.

It can't be here yet.

So when you hear certain theological camps talk about how the kingdom of God is already here on the earth, spreading across the earth, everything's being made new. Everything's already being redeemed. We know from the words of Jesus that is not the case. The phrase the kingdom of God refers to something very specific in the Bible.

It refers to the literal and physical rule and reign of Jesus.

It refers to Jesus being physically and literally in a place ruling and raining. It refers to the king raining over his kingdom.

So let me walk you through this, not trick questions. Is Jesus literally and physically raining in heaven right now?

Yes, he is. Absolutely.

Is Jesus literally and physically in his physical body raining on the earth right now?

No, he's not.

Can't go to Jerusalem. Who's ruling on the earth right now?

Satan. That's right, according to the Bible, according to Jesus himself, Satan is the God of this age right now. Therefore, where is the kingdom of God right now? It's in heaven physically and it's in us spiritually. When will the kingdom of God come to the earth at the second coming when Jesus literally and physically returns to the Earth to rule and reign from Jerusalem.

And I don't know about you when someone says, well, listen, Jeff, I disagree. I think the kingdom of God is already here, all over the Earth. What I usually like to say is, well, I got to tell you if it is. I'm horribly disappointed because I had much higher expectations. I don't know about you, but I think when Jesus is ruling and reigning on the earth, I think he's going to do better than 20, 20.

I hope you can say amen to that. I think Jesus can do better than 20, 20. The truth is the kingdom of God has not yet come. That's why Jesus taught his disciples to pray for it to come. He said, When you pray, pray like this.

Thy kingdom what come? Because it's not here yet. That's why we long for it. That's why we long for it. Because we know that when it comes. Man, nobody's going to be disappointed, nobody's going to be left out, it's not going to be some cause of justice that is overlooked when Jesus is ruling and reigning. I got high expectations, and you should, too. So would you write this down?

The Kingdom of God refers to the literal rule and reign of Jesus, which will begin at the second coming.

How can anyone vote for Trump when even his staff wont support him

RE: How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

Mike Pence was never in the military, his father was in the Army and served in the Korean War (1950-1953) and his son is in the Marines. Due to his politics and family background, Pence considers himself a supporter of the US military and he most certainly stabbed Trump in the back...

Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?

Making excuses for Trump before he’s even elected is exactly why he should not be elected.

So tell me exactly which countries has NATO invaded?

Using NATO as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation is pathetic in the extreme.

How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.

If the US selected a responsible person to be President, no one outside of the US would have any reason to talk about American politics, you made the bed so you must lay in it.

The fact you refuse to accept responsibility for selecting two geriatric and totally unsuitable men as Presidential candidates is exactly what is wrong with US Society today.

Pence is a Rino and that's why he- and the others like him, don't support Trump.
I just love how you idiots from other countries think you're so smart when it comes to politics in our country.

You mentioned history rizlared yeah right what history are you on about?

Donald Trump wants to change the world from the White House. Here's what he's said he'd do in a second term
"If Trump is elected in 2024, he will surround himself with people who adhere to his worldview and are therefore less hostile to Russia and more sympathetic to Putin."
Despite persistent rocky relations between their two countries over issues ranging from human rights to spy balloons, Trump has no issue praising China's president, Xi Jinping.
"I like President Xi a lot," Trump told Fox News this week. "He was a very good friend of mine during my term."

Donald:
Frederick Christ Trump Sr was Donald Trump father, Frederick was an honest person who aquired considerable finacil gains by assisting the worlds oldest honest ladies profession.
Early life and career. Trump's father, the German American Friedrich Trump, amassed considerable wealth during the Klondike Gold Rush by running a restaurant and brothel for the miners. Friedrich returned to Kallstadt in 1901, and, by the next year, met and married Elizabeth Christ.

At age Donald entered the New York Military Academy, a private boarding school. In 1964, he enrolled at Fordham University. Two years later, he transferred to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in May 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in economics.
-----------------------------
President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is militarily ready for a Cuban Missile-style crisis if the United States is foolish enough to want one and that his country currently has the edge when it comes to a first nuclear strike.

The Cuban Missile crisis erupted in 1962 when Moscow responded to a US missile deployment in Turkey by sending ballistic missiles to Cuba, sparking a standoff that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

More than five decades on, tensions are rising again over Russian fears that the United States might deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe as a landmark cold war-era arms control treaty unravels.

It is my opinion Putin is doing his duty lawfully defending the Democratic Russian Federation according to their Constitution, which includes all of Ukraine.
Putin worked for KGB prior the ending of communist Russia; he acquired single pointed concentration from his interest in marital arts and in my opinion has mindfully been tracking Biden for a very long long time. Remember Biden first appeared in US House Committee in 1969 and in 1971 declared he would put troops in Ukraine in 1971, fives years before current pope nominated Argentinean general with support CIA overthrow Argentinean government the same general who disappeared 31,000 people.

Embroiled

RE: Embroiled...

The stock price fell to around $42 Friday, wiping out billions of dollars in value, including $1 billion of Trump's own net worth.

I think this proves once and for all that Trump is no Businessman, never has been and never will be.


He is just a sleazy con artist.
