The Ukrainian drone attack triggered a major fire at the refinery. Thick columns of dark grey smoke were seen rising high into the sky. A 16-second dashcam video, recorded from a moving vehicle on a nearby road, captured the smoke and fire.

The unofficial pause was initially expected to continue until AFTER the elections.”

The runt dicktator, Zelensky, trying to screw the US, Trump and the US elections! The US should totally DISOWN and BAN this penile, piano playing freak backed by the US Islamocommie Party and their no borders, globalist backers! They’re trying to kill the US. There will be a war before they ever take over HERE.

The EU-Davos globalists are activating all their remaining assets against Trump/MAGA - particularly Carney in Canada, and Zelensky in Ukraine.

He was warned not to do that. Whatever happens is on him. He has a right to defend his country; he does NOT have a right to interrupt the world’s oil supply.

Zelensky thinks exactly like the Iranians and should be treated the same.

The impetuous fool has done it again. You could give that man (and I use the term loosely) a list of 10 bad decisions and he would always pick the worst one.

After we were able to have a cease fire to get Ukies out....Melania is going to be furious...Nothing more dangerous than a woman scorned.

I think Elon will take care of "Z"s smart a** move.
