All of this ends at the beginning of next year. Everybody needs to just chill until then.

Nope; Biden will declare an emergency, accept the Senate's version of the border bill and bypass the House. This bill has money allocated for Ukraine, Israel and Twain.
While this is happening, some republicans will try and remove the speaker again.

There's been a lot of movement in Turkey's neck of the woods, so the Turks have had to change their stance on several issues. Given Turkey's strategic positioning and importance, expect huge regional implications.

Democrats do love them some unconstitutional wars.
They just can't seem to get around to declaring an emergency for the invasion at our own border though.
They'll be happy spending hundreds of billions of dollars housing, feeding and giving healthcare and school to illegal alien invaders while telling us that Social Security is going to fail before we retire.

It's not their fault all your teeth rotted out of your head so you have to gum your food. Give it a rest.

It's called dentures, dummy. I eat my food just fine and you don't hear me ever complaining about it.
I never had a cavity either. It wasn't the teeth that rotted out, but the jawbone holding them in that disappeared.
You'd better hope nothing bad happens to you. A little pussy like you would have already killed yourself.

Western tanker owners have been spooked by U.S. sanctions targeting Russian oil sales, putting pressure on Moscow's "shadow fleet" of ships transporting the country's key energy export since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Measures to choke off one of Russia's main export revenue generators funding the war started by Russian President Vladimir Putin included the G7, the EU and Australia imposing a price cap; it bans firms from insuring, financing, and shipping Russian seaborne oil exports sold above $60 a barrel.
However, Russia has traded oil using a shadow fleet in which the ships' ownership is reorganized, often through shell companies in the Middle East, to obscure their connections to Moscow. The amount of shadow vessels leaving Russia rose from 13 percent in February 2022 to 42 percent by mid-2023.
Bloomberg reported that, in January, there had been a fivefold increase in ships sailing under the flag of Gabon to 100—up from just 20 in February 2023, citing data from Windward AI.
The predictive intelligence company noted flags such as Liberia and St. Kitts and Nevis had been heavily targeted by regulators.
"The move to Gabon by operators shipping sanctioned oil was precipitated partly by the U.S. authorities putting pressure on the St Kitts and Nevis registry earlier last year," Septimus Knox, director, disputes and investigation at geopolitical and cyber risk consultancy S-RM, told Newsweek on Tuesday.

The halt follows the EU's 12th sanctions package against Russia and US secondary sanctions.
The West is now targeting international firms doing business with Russia.
