JUST NOW!!! German foreign minister Wadephul tells us Putin “cynically hopes that the escalation in the Middle East will divert our attention from his crimes in Ukraine.” “This calculation must not succeed. We see very clearly how closely the two conflicts are intertwined. Russia is evidently supporting Iran with information about potential targets.”

I mean, how the hell is this even legal? Was it part of the contract that the seller is entitled to say “screw you and the money you've paid us, we're talking these weapons for ourselves”?

Rubio further disqualifies himself: Lying in favor of a budding dictator with the Ash Wednesday cross on his forehead. He knows that Trump works for Putin. How can he serve such a traitor? How many Ukrainians do you want to kill?

Rubio calls Zelensky’s claims about troop withdrawal from Donbas “a lie” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington never demanded that Ukraine withdraw its troops from Donbas in exchange for security guarantees. “That’s a lie. And I saw him say it — it’s unfortunate, because he knows it’s not true,” Rubio stated. According to him, Ukrainian officials were told something different: “Security guarantees will not take effect until the war is over.” He emphasized that this was not tied to any requirement to concede territory. “It was not conditioned on ‘unless he gives up territory.’ I don’t know why he’s saying these things. It’s simply not true,” Rubio added. Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that the U.S. was ready to provide security guarantees only if Ukrainian forces withdrew from Donbas.

Of course, this framing is completely unreal. Russia is the worst of the developed world in poor sanitation: about 23% of Russians live without a centralized sewage system, and 6% lack any sewage system at all. In rural areas, roughly two-thirds have no indoor toilets. 13/23
