Ukraine offered Russia a total ceasefire.
Russia responded by refusing the ceasefire offer and bombing Ukrainian civilians.
So Ukraine responded by taking out 40 Russian strategic bombers.

1/8 russia is actually losing the war it started in Ukraine—not just slowly, but strategically.
Still, it’s not giving up. It’s buying time, hoping Trump will help it escape defeat.
Here’s why russia is losing—and why we shouldn’t let Trump save it:
“Russia Won’t End Ukraine War Until NATO ‘Pulls Out’ of the Baltics.”
This is what happens when weakness invites aggression.
Trump’s cowardice and his appeasement of russia have emboldened Putin. Now he’s setting his sights on the Baltics.

CSO Population of Ireland (April 2023):
5.28m = Population and Migration Estimates

I wish that we had some sort of agreement that limited Iran's future uranium enrichment to 3.67% and allowed inspectors to make visits to all the nuclear sites, while placing cameras on all their centrifuges.
