Why were you angry about Chauvin being convicted? Why bring up criminal acts committed more than a decade in the past?

Bad news for you Anti-Americans .... looks like Putin may have just caved to Biden. What a difference it makes to have an AMERICAN in the Oval Office. : Vladimir Putin just caved Bill Palmer \| 3:01 pm EDT April 22, 2021 Palmer Report » Analysis For months, Palmer Report has been pointing out that Russian President Vladimir Putin is at the weakest and most vulnerable point in his presidency. He’s lost his puppet Trump. President Biden has enacted crushing economic sanctions on Putin’s oligarch allies. And the Russian people are no longer afraid to take to the streets to protest against Putin. All the so-called aggression from Putin of late has merely been an attempt at creating the appearance of strength, in order to distract from how weak he’s become. He amassed troops near Ukraine, but didn’t have the muscle to actually invade. He imprisoned Navalny, but didn’t have the muscle to poison him. It was a matter of time before Putin would have to pull back from all of this. Sure enough, the BBC is reporting that Russia is now massively pulling back its troops near Ukraine. Putin must have hoped he could get world leaders to trade him something in exchange for pulling back. But now that no world leaders have fallen for his bluff, he’s left with no choice other than to simply cave. This is proof of just how weak Putin is these days. Now we have to keep up the pressure on him with regard to Navalny as well. This is also a reminder that if you’re anti-Putin, you’re doing yourself no favors by running around yelling about how he’s invincible and he has us right where he wants us. The facts make clear that’s simply not the case. You finish Putin off by loudly calling out his weakness, not by acting like he has some evil magic wand.

NATO fighter jets scramble to intercept Russian aircraft over Baltic Sea By Ed Adamczyk NATO fighter planes scrambled on Tuesday to intercept Russian planes over the Baltic Sea, according to the alliance. Photo courtesy of NATO/Danish Air Force April 21 (UPI) -- Russian fighter planes, bombers and surveillance aircraft were intercepted over the Baltic Sea by NATO F-16s and Eurofighter planes, NATO said on Wednesday. Two Tu-160 Blackjack bombers and an A-50 Mainstay airborne warning plane, escorted by Su-27 and Su-35 fighter aircraft, flew from Russia to the Baltic Sea and returned after about three hours on Tuesday. Planes of NATO's Combined Air Operations Center flew from bases in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland to intercept and identify the Russian aircraft. Some of the Russian planes flew without transponder signals, a NATO statement on Wednesday said, posing a possible hazard to civilian aircraft in the area. The Russian planes flew in international airspace, however, as did the NATO planes. "The event demonstrates NATO's vigilance and responsiveness to air incidents and the collective effort of our Allies to keep the airspace safe for all its users," said Brig Gen. Andrew Hansen, deputy chief of CAOC staff operations. The incident was the latest of numerous Russian military flights to arouse the suspicion of NATO and the U.S. Northern Command. In March, NATO fighter jets scrambled 10 times in the course of six hours to intercept six different groups of Russian military aircraft approaching NATO airspace over the North Atlantic. Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his annual state of the nation address on Wednesday, said that any country that threatens Russia will regret it "in a way they've never regretted anything before." The warning came after the United States last week imposed economic sanctions against Moscow for interfering in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as for the SolarWinds cyberattack last year that targeted U.S. government and private computer networks. On Monday, the U.S. State Department expressed "deep concern" over indications that Russia is targeting Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea in "another unprovoked escalation in Moscow's ongoing campaign to undermine and destabilize Ukraine." Josep Borrell, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, said on Monday that Russia has recently massed more than 150,000 troops "with all kinds of materials," including tanks, aircraft and field hospitals, at the Ukrainian borders and in annexed Crimea. upi.com

President Biden @POTUS United States government official Today, we officially reached our goal of 200 million shots in my first 100 days. Make no mistake: This is an American achievement. It’s a powerful demonstration of unity and resolve. And a reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together in pursuit of a common goal. I hear a group of big burly men approached President Biden today with tears in their eyes and said, Thank you, President Biden, Sir.
