Summary

TONIGHT: The show begins in the trenches of Zaporhizhia Oblast and moves to the Halls of Congress. From the MBS play to acquire nuclear power in exchange for normalizing with Israel to the Biden Administration play to permit hundreds of thousands of migrants to flood Red border states and Blue state cities. Watching the PLA Navy bully the Philippines, watching prep for an invasion of Taiwan. The migrant surge destablizes even the nations, like Costa Rica, that it transits.

trench lines. Not using vehicles because the vehicles are subject to battery fire and drones,

1:14.8

one by one, the Russian positions fall back. We discussed also the news that the Abrams
