2. Recent News

2.2. Anti-Ukrainian attacks surge in Poland

The Poles do not put up with people glorifying Nazi-related anything.

2.3. Kremlin responds to US election meddling accusations

3. Extra words for which nobody asked

3.1. US congressman says he was detained by armed Israeli settlers

Ro Khanna claimed that Israeli "settlers" sided with other settlers rather than helping his delegation.

Uh… Yea. If Israeli politicians showed up in America, whatever the issue, I'm going to side with Americans before some Israeli delegation.

What a stupid thing to complain about.

Okay, but it's settlers in Palestine rather than Israel proper. Okay, go to an American base in whatever country we settled in. Japan is a clear example. See how well it goes there.

3.2. US lawmakers warn against Russia sanctions bill

So Democrats are against sanctioning Russia now? Are they consistent with anything? Are they really just the "Against whatever the other party wants" party? I want to mend ties with Russia too, but I don't think the Democrats actually want anything.
