  1. Russia felt the hit and the provocation, but it is so invested in Ukraine that it can’t risk any other move or anything else at this time. They will absorb everything without the ability to react, besides the usual diplomatic condemnation and propaganda rhetoric.

  2. Sad-Breakfast-5671 on

    We are waiting for Trump to appoint Ivan to become the new President of Venezuela.

  3. Let’s just recap, shall we?
