Revealed! Trump is aiding attacks on Russia

US intelligence agencies active ++ Russian military bloggers sound the alarm

Berlin/Washington - The United States is supporting Ukraine more strongly in its defensive war against Russia than previously known. According to a report in the Financial Times (FT), American intelligence agencies have been actively helping Kyiv for months to strike Russian energy facilities with drones - deep inside Russian territory.

The goal: to damage Vladimir Putin's economy and force him to the negotiating table....

...The change of course is therefore directly attributable to US President Donald Trump. Just a few months ago, Trump wanted to force Ukraine to make painful concessions to the aggressor, even temporarily suspending military aid. But since Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin blocked all compromises, Washington gave Kyiv the green light for a new attack strategy: Russia should "feel the pain."

Since then, according to the FT, US intelligence agencies have been providing crucial data: routes, flight altitudes, and vulnerabilities of Russian facilities. Three sources familiar with the operation report that Washington is deeply involved in the planning. While Ukraine officially selects the targets, American experts apparently set priorities.

The result: Ukrainian drones have been hitting Russian refineries and energy centers for months. The attacks are causing fuel prices to rise in Russia, and Moscow is even forced to import fuel. This is a direct consequence of US aid, which the White House has never publicly acknowledged.

Venezuelans keep voting for socialism

....The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) denounced that during the 2017 Venezuelan protests "several thousand people have been arbitrarily detained, many of them have been victims of ill-treatment and even torture".[12]

Some of the victims of enforced disappearance have not yet appeared, as is the case of Hugo Marino.[13] Since 2015, at least twelve political prisoners have died in custody.[14]According to the NGO PROVEA, between 2013 and 2023, 53,075 people were detained for political reasons or in the context of illegal actions by police and/or military.[15] By October 2022, the NGO Foro Penal registered 245 political prisoners in Venezuela. At least 166 had been imprisoned without having been convicted and one is a minor.[16]....

The undeclared war on Venezuela

....The excesses and poor policies of the incumbent government led to the collapse of Venezuela's entire economy.[31][32]

Venezuela struggles with record hyperinflation,[33][34] shortages of basic goods,[35] unemployment,[36] poverty,[37] disease, high child mortality, malnutrition, environmental issues, severe crime, and widespread corruption. US sanctions and the seizure of Venezuelan assets overseas have cost the country $24-30 billion.[38]

These factors have precipitated the Venezuelan refugee crisis in which more than 7.9 million people had fled the country by May 2025.[39][40]...

Education is described here on PF as university or college educated.

And I guess you believe that Charlie Kirk who had an idea with no college education is an exception to a rule?

US President desperately wanted him:

Venezuela's heroine dedicates Nobel Peace Prize to Trump

Oslo/Caracas/Washington - Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado will receive the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize - and immediately make a political splash!

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she writes: "I dedicate this award to the suffering people of Venezuela and President Trump for his determined support of our cause!" With this, the 58-year-old makes it clear: Her fight for freedom is also a hymn to Donald Trump.

"We are on the threshold of victory!"

Machado called the award on X an "incentive to complete our task: achieving freedom." He added, "Today more than ever, we are counting on President Trump, the people of the United States, and all the democratic nations of the world."....

Wealth is created by people with ideas, and ideas have absolutely nothing to do with education.

Do you remember your staunch defense of Merkel's policies and the Nord Stream?

Don't know much about her.

Israel has many more hostages than Hamas and has held them a lot longer than two years.

compensating those ethnically cleansed from what is now Israel and allowing people to return and reclaim their property.

The IDF is not a feminist organisation

gays for Palistine.

If you drop a bomb on a building that you know is full of people, it is considered murder.

...In 2005, Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip by dismantling all 21 Israeli settlements there. As part of this process, four Israeli settlements in the West Bank were dismantled as well....

Now they want to be them.
