NSA Mike Waltz said US support for Ukraine is contingent on a date being agreed upon by Russia & Ukraine for "peace negotiations." (Ukrainian capitulation to Russia) This coercion appears to be a direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum. Will the US honor section 2?

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

Meet our genius President

Funeral Director here: People who pass away don’t receive social security checks once the agency has been notified. We fill out a form (SSA-721) and fax it directly to social security. Elon Musk is lying to you.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.
