Lindsey Graham let the cat out of the bag: the war in Ukraine is a resource war where the US and its corporate elite are determined to snatch the trillions below and above ground in Ukraine before neighboring Russia takes over.

According to a recent New York Times Report, the Biden Administration has discussed the idea of handing nuclear weapons over to Ukraine as it prepares to leave office. And France and the UK are discussing sending TROOPS into Ukraine! Do they really want WWIII? Also today...will Elon buy MSNBC?

But the immense damage can (at least) be repaired.

Early reports (now disputed) that Russia responded to UK Storm Shadow attacks on Russian territory with the battle launch of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) for the first time in history continues to race the world toward nuclear war.
