Ortega had maintained a measured tone on Mr. Trump following the start of the war on Feb. 28, when the U.S. and Israeli launched strikes on Iran. “The war being waged in the way the current U.S. president is waging it is

Trump tells Kentucky rally Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities degraded | Donald Trump

Donald Trump told hundreds of supporters assembled inside a packaging plant in northern Kentucky on Wednesday that Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities had been significantly degraded. “Their drones are down 85%, we’re blowing up their factories,” he told an ecstatic audience in Hebron. “They don’t know what the hell hit them,” said Trump.

Could America break apart? UCSB expert explores the possibility

The war in Ukraine provides a vivid example. The conflict over whether it should be an independent nation or a facet of greater Russia “goes back hundreds of years,” Cohen said. “It’s not going to end with the current conflict. “It’s similar to the relationship between Quebec and Canada.

A majority of Ukrainians believe they have the right to a state of their own. Putin and his people take a quite different view.” The difference
