⁣TRUMP NEEDS TO DECIDE WHETHER HE SUPPORTS RUSSIA OR TERRORISM

⁣I’ve read the report. Yes, of course one would not want such information made public. But it deals with physical security, not the weapons themselves.

Ukraine today is a nation on fire.

A literal basement fire full of explosive material than will kill any firefighter who gets too close.

We live in dangerous times. Now is the time for the people of the United States and Russia to set the example of how civil discourse and dialogue can pave the way for peace between our two nations.

On June 18, 2025, Americans and Russians from all walks of life will come together to engage in an act of “people’s diplomacy.”

Whether seated in a theater in beautiful Saint Petersburg, or in the historic Mohican Hotel in downtown Kingston, New York, the participants will be doing what we collectively can only hope our respective leadership will do—engage their citizen counterparts in constructive dialogue which seeks to better relations between their two nations.
