Btw Anybody want to see what a good job that Biden did as POTUS? Look @ the coalition of European
Nations he helped to put together on his 2023 trip to Ukraine after which he met the needed parties and
put together a solid foundation to help Ukraine in defeating the evil that is Putin. After Trump used a
dirty ass “election” to become a national and international nightmare that coalition has stepped up big
time and also have cut Trump and America out of it.

Justice matters.

His and Musk’s cutting USAID to some of the poorest people in the world has already cost
@ least 1 million lives in Africa. More than half are children. They also stopped the delivery
of anti diarrhea medicines which is a huge killer of hungry people.

The only thing with the kidnapped Ukrainian Children is that it
is more public and there might be some public pressure on those shits.

If the God of our Christo Fascist Evangelicals is real then they would both be struck down dead in the
name of Jay BEE susss.

Justice matters.

by "winning" the election. I'm sure he believed the FAUX lies about Joe Biden and Hunter cashing in, and now it's his turn.

The US needs him out. Talk about an emergency!

But I could easily see the Orange Hellbeast doing Vlad's bidding regardless. He worships dictators and probably sees Pootie as a role model.

28. Trump has an ally in Bart De Wever, the prime minister of Belgium, where the Russian assets are being held
Fri Dec 5, 2025, 12:15 AM

De Wever has long been known to harbour sympathies toward Russia, but is currently hiding behind legal and geopoilitical fears to justify not working on a way to release the billions.

How Belgium became Russia's most valuable asset

Prime Minister Bart De Wever is blocking a raid on Moscow's frozen funds to help Ukraine. Can anyone change his mind?

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-russia-bart-de-wever-moscow-funds-brussels-bank-ukraine-war/


Following consultations between the major European partners, Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz is due to pay De Wever a visit this week to try to talk some sense into him.
