TRUMP PREPARES TERRITORIAL CESSION IN UKRAINE DEAL

The establishment press dutifully broadcasts the Trump administration's optimism regarding a 'peace deal,' ensuring the narrative is framed around achievable success, despite the core unresolved 'thorny issues' being non-negotiable territory grabs by Russia.

US Arms Sales Fund Taiwan Strait War Games
