I also took out of paywall this piece from May, in which I wondered why Trump was constantly acting like a Russian agent of influence even after the Russians humiliated him time and time again. I hope we do not have the answer.

Is the President of the USA acting like an "Agent of Influence" for Putin?
What Does It Mean When Trump Openly Admits To Protecting The Russian Dictator?

Russian terrorism continues. Terrorists never stop on their own. They can only be stopped. And only by force. The attack lasted all night. Drones, ballistic missiles, anti-vessel missiles. Russia's goal is obvious: to deprive Kyiv and the central regions of power as much as possible.

Russia is killing Ukrainians every day: burying us under the rubble of our homes, killing us on our streets, burning us alive in our cars. In offices, cafes, churches, kindergartens, and hospitals. Every day. All the time. It happens so often, it doesn’t even make the news anymore.
