Donald Trump has claimed that thousands of Ukrainian troops are surrounded by the Russian military in the Kursk region.

Trump repeats Putin's talking points as he tries to get Ukraine to surrender one of the only points of leverage they have left. This is after Trump sabotaged Ukraine by blocking intel and arms for the exact week that Putin started his counterattack.

Couldn't be any more obvious which side Putin's Beach is on.

Russian troops indepedently geolocated in Sudzha and all the way to Rubanschyna which is the closest town to the border with Ukraine.

Ukraines retreated in good order but left a lot of equipment behind.

What a shame that Ukraine is likely a more credible source than our own President.

He was sarcastic every time he talked about it in different venues and speeches ... like he was sarcastic about lowering inflation and the cost of eggs.

The Trump administration hasn't gone into freefall yet. And I hope nobody expects him to abide by any judicial losses. We've got a long and tragedy-fraught road ahead and a congress that has gone belly up.
