Trump extends Biden’s war, which extended Obama’s war, against Russia, in the battlefields of Ukraine. Ukraine’s war-dead are in service to the American Government — NOT to Russia’s, but America’s Government lies about that.

It was he who told about this at the All-Russian forum, which was held in […]
In February 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump made an unexpected statement: he claimed there was “no reason to spend nearly one trillion dollars on the military”, and expressed hope for an agreement with China and Russia to cut defense budgets in half. It sounded like a rare moment of reflection […]
