"I don't know it for a fact, but I know it's true..." (To paraphrase Bill Maher) [View all]

Russia is not a country. It is a international criminal enterprise masquerading as a gas station.

The people of Russia accept that their country is run by criminals. They have convinced themselves that is the way of the world. Putin is their Godfather.

Putin and Trump stole the election of 2016 from the American people.

Trump is one of Putin's oligarchs.

Trump worked with Putin to try and overthrow NATO and to put Ukraine back under the control of Putin.

They thought they had successfully stolen the election in 2020.

The American government and Intelligence know all of this to be factual but refuse to tell the American people.

The attempted overthrow of Zelinskyy in Ukraine is directly connected to the attempted overthrow of American democracy.
