  • Russian, Belorussian, and Israeli athletes compete at the Winter Olympics while Ukrainian athletes have been marginalized. The Israeli team was booed, as was VPOTUS JD and Usha Vance.
  • Hungary PM Viktor Orban declared Ukraine an enemy state. Hungary is an EU and NATO member and Orban is an ally of ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin.
  • Kiev denies involvement in an assassination attempt on Russian GRU General Vladimir Alekseev.
  • Ukrainian intelligence warns that Russia offered the US an economic cooperation package worth about $12 trillion (AKA the "Dmitriev package").
  • Germany indicted a Ukrainian national in connection with an alleged Russia-orchestrated plot to mail explosive parcels across Europe.
  • Russia continues attacking Ukraine's nuclear reactors sites with rockets and drones, trying to freeze and demoralize their population.
  • Total number of Russian military personnel losses KIA or WIA: 1,245,290.

    While tens of thousands of people in Ukraine and Gaza suffered t the hands of Russian and Israel during the Bread and Circuses of the 2024 Summer Olympiad in Paris, the people of Ukraine and Gaza continue suffering today during the spectacle of the 2026 Winter Olympiad in Milan. And now Americans are suffering under the Iron Heel of the fascist and nefarious Trumpf junta.

    International arrest warrants for war crimes issued by the ICC remain active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, former IDF General Yoav Gallan, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. In addition, the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 30 other suspected Israeli war criminals.

    In accordance with international law and the legally-binding ICC warrants, popular NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledged that he will order the NYPD to arrest Messrs Netanyahu and Putin should they appear in NYC jurisdiction for the UNGA or other matters. Similarly, Canada PM Mark Carney stated that he too would honor these ICC arrest warrants for those two sinister malefactors. The CBSA and the RCMP would immediately detain Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin the moment either of them land on Canadian soil.

    NYPD ESU is a well-trained and experienced tactical force designed to deal with lethal mass casualty-causing threats posed from terrorists, so the bodyguard details (PSD) protecting Netanyahu or Putin would be quickly rendered ineffective by these professionals. The RCMP is the analog of the US FBI and would similarly deal with the Israeli or Russian PSDs guarding Putin and Netanyahu.

    Indictments are merely allegations. To ensure a fair trial, Messrs Netanyahu, Gallant, and Putin must all be presumed innocent until they are proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt at an international tribunal to be held for them in the Hague at future dates.
