Once-off, temporary and short term measures are insufficient to address poverty. We have the resources to progressively reduce and ultimately eliminate poverty. Is there the political will?

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Zelenskyy is a warrior for democracy. Putin is a war criminal. Full stop.

The courage of President Zelenskyy…

Zelenskyy should rip up the mineral deal and pee on it.

The entire world just witnessed the shameful ambush of Zelensky, a heroic man trying to save his country, by the orange Mussolini and his VP. Kudos to Zelensky for walking away and not succumbing to the shakedown for Ukraine's critical minerals.

I doubt Eisenhower asked Churchill the same question. He was intelligent enough to understand Churchill wasn’t being disrespectful, but was just making a simple show of solidarity with workers & soldiers.

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Zelenskyy refused to bend the knee to Trump, so the rare minerals deal between the US and Ukraine imploded and now the White House is spinning.

Unlike oligarchs, corporate media and so many others, Volodymyr Zelenskyy refused to bend the knee to Trump.
