Good morning all & OTD in 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy was shot, dying the next day. RFK was a complex man: devout Catholic, proponent of both order & justice, happiest when standing alone, who when he lay dying, asked if everyone else was "OK". We will not see his like again.

Mr. "Roth", instead of claiming the high moral stance, work to alleviate the suffering of Americans and try to rectify the trajectory of human rights in your homeland. Good idea, isn't it?

This isn’t more escalatory to a kinetic hot war. At this juncture it is looking closer to “Operation Cyclone” when finance and munitions went into the Mujahideen to similarly stop Russian invaders - and win.

More evidence the US is at war with Russia: the House approves $13.6 billion in emergency military and civilian assistance, including US intelligence support, for Ukraine. It includes "$3.5 billion to replenish US stocks" of weapons already sent covertly.
