BY MICHAEL ANDERSENAs Maya Angelou said: āWhen someone shows you who they are, believe them the first timeā. Today - June 4, 2025 - was the day when U.S. President Donald J. Trump definitively showed us who and what he is when it comes to Ukraine. And human suffering.

Ukraine knocked out one of the legs of Russia's nuclear triad. This is astonishing. It is also a revolution in military affairs and profoundly destabilizing. “Today, a brilliant operation was carried out. The preparation took over a year and a half. What’s most interesting is that the “office” of our operation on Russian territory was located directly next to FSB headquarters in one of their regions.

Yesterday, Ukraine executed a meticulously planned and astonishing drone assault deep within Russian territory. It targeted five strategic airbases—Belaya, Dyagilevo, Ivanovo Severny, Olenya, and Ukrainka—and severely degrading one of the legs of Russia’s nuclear triad.

So here’s where we are. Putin suggested direct talks in Istanbul in lieu of the unconditional ceasefire that Kyiv had proposed. Zelensky called his bluff and immediately agreed, inviting Putin to meet him one-to-one, mano-a-mano, in Istanbul. Putin demurred and sent his aide Vladimir Medinsky in his place.

Trump's glue-eating necrophile house-elf says the administration is "actively looking" at the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus. Americans should "actively look at" overthrowing these tyrants.
