Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

    Also false.

    Leaked intel estimates that israel would last 19 weeks without new bombs from Biden.

    A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks, unless Washington sends more ammunition.

    The fact that Biden has outright refused to use his leverage as Israel’s arms dealer is a stark indication that the occasional public platitudes, offered by U.S. officials and numerous media leaks about Biden’s mounting frustration with Netanyahu, are little more than a re-election campaign ploy.

    The narrative that this is somehow all Netanyahu’s fault and can’t be stopped is nothing but a convenient shield for Biden. It is in no way reality.

        Wait what?

        Biden resupplied israel in December he bypassed Congress to give them tank and mortar shells. The main ammo they use to blow up buildings with in Gaza.

        And Biden gave israel access to a large supply cache of American weapons that they had stashed there.

        Also he is helping providing israel to import spare F35 parts and bombs from other countries.

        I am saying that israel is starting to run out of the previously supplied weapons by Joe Biden (already during the Genocide)… Unless Joe Biden once again gives israel more weapons

          Israel is in no way, shape or form running out of the munitions and money we have been supplying them for decades.
