Trump's tariffs have nothing to do with curbing fentanyl flows. Trump just pardoned the internet drug lord and fentanyl dealer Ross Ulbricht.
Ulbricht's mom was a huge campaign donor to the Trump campaign.

Craig Sicknick, whose brother, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, was assaulted during the riot and died of multiple strokes the next day, called Trump "pure evil" on Tuesday.
"The man who killed my brother is now president," he told Reuters.
"My brother died in vain. Everything he did to try to protect the country, to protect the Capitol - why did he bother?" Sicknick said. "What Trump did is despicable, and it proves that the United States no longer has anything that resembles a justice system."

Former District of Columbia police officer Michael Fanone, who was attacked by rioters on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol:
“I have been betrayed by my country, and I’ve been betrayed by those that supported Donald Trump....
Tonight, six individuals who assaulted me, as I did my job on Jan. 6, as did hundreds of other law enforcement officers, will now walk free....
“I think that Republican Party owns a monopoly on hypocrisy when it comes to their supposed support of law enforcement.......the leader of the Republican Party pardoned hundreds of violent cop assaulters,”

Stalin and Putin both used similar attempts to justify fascist expansionism:
Stalin, stating concern for ethnic Ukrainians and Belarusians in Poland, collaborated with Hitler and ordered the Soviet invasion of Poland.

Posted in: Starmer visits Auschwitz and vows to fight the antisemitism he sees growing in the UK See in context
The Soviet invasion of Poland was a military conflict by the Soviet Union without a formal declaration of war. On 17 September 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east, 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west
Russia's campaign of mass persecution in the newly acquired areas began immediately.
In November 1939 the Soviet government annexed the entire Polish territory under its control. Some 13.5 million Polish citizens who fell under the military occupation were made Soviet subjects following show elections conducted by the NKVD secret police in an atmosphere of terror.
A Soviet campaign of political murders and other forms of repression, targeting Polish figures of authority such as military officers, police, and priests, began with a wave of arrests and summary executions. The Soviet NKVD sent hundreds of thousands of people from eastern Poland to Siberia and other remote parts of the Russia in four major waves of deportation between 1939 and 1941.

The Holocaust took place in the context of the Second World War, which was started by the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and their collaborator Russia in September 1939.

Under the Nazi Germany-Russia pact, Poland was to be shared, while Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Bessarabia went to Russia.

Anyone who voted for Trump and expects him to achieve any of his promises will be disappointed. The lone promise he achieved last time was tax cuts.
Trump's tax overhaul that he signed into law late 2017 was anything but “pro-American.”
Its biggest winners were wealthy foreign investors.
The Trump tax law has given larger tax cuts to foreign investors than it has to middle- and working-class Americans in all of the states that Trump carried in 2016—combined.

At the beginning of the war, Russia used T90M tanks at the front. Now, Russian soldiers use electric scooters, jeeps, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles when they are not on foot.
The Russian submarine fleet is growing every day, by 2025 Russia will have lost more than 1,000,000 men in the war, the Russian economy is in free fall. What's the point? To boost mr. Putin's ego?
