Donald Trump on Sunday uncorked a massive attack on certain allies amid a brewing new scandal, leading to condemnation from experts and political observers alike.Trump took to Truth Social during what some have called "one of the biggest foreign policy scandals in history" involving disputed reports that Marco Rubio disseminated Russia-written documents to Ukrainian officials and passed them off as a U.S. peace deal.In his weekend blow up, Trump blamed former President Joe Biden for the war and said in all caps, "I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE 'LEADERSHIP' HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA."The responses came quickly.MSNBC journalist Sam Stein reported on Sunday:"Trump with a lengthy statement that says not too much but accuses Ukraine leader of not expressing gratitude for the help the US given which is just factually not true (Zelensky has gone out of his way to express gratitude after the Oval blow up)."CNN journalist Jim Sciutto wrote, "Three European countries account for the bulk of those Russian oil purchases: Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey. Trump himself [g]ave Hungary a one-year exemption to buy Russian oil earlier this month."Ex-federal prosecutor Joyce Vance added, "This war is not about Donald Trump. It’s about Russian aggression, which he now seeks to reward, contrary to Ukrainian, European, and American interests."Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican congressman, chimed in with, "The President continues to ignore that it is Russia who invaded Ukraine & bombing cities every night. Putin ordered this invasion. Why the moral confusion? The war started before Trump’s first term. I’ve heard President Zelenskyy thank America many times for our military aid."Michael MacKay, who says he has a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics and Political Science, also weighed in:"Fascist Russia is at war with Western civilization and invaded Ukraine in 2014. The Russian Federation is the aggressor and the sole reason for the state of war. Trump is a Russian asset and traitor to the United States."

Donald Trump on Sunday morning unleashed a massive rant aimed in part at U.S. allies amid what some have called "one of the biggest foreign policy scandals in history."The president over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to release the rant totaling more than 200 words. The massive meltdown comes amid disputed reports that Marco Rubio disseminated Russia-written documents to Ukrainian officials and passed them off as a U.S. peace deal.Trump began by pointing the finger at former President Joe Biden."The War between Russia and Ukraine is a violent and terrible one that, with strong and proper U.S. and Ukrainian LEADERSHIP, would have NEVER HAPPENED. It began long before I took office for a Second Term, during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and has only gotten worse," the president wrote before making unsupported claims about the 2020 election. "If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED & STOLEN, the only thing the Radical Left Democrats are good at doing, there would be no Ukraine/Russia War, as there wasn’t, not even a mention, during my first Term in Office. Putin would never have attacked!"Trump then continued:"It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, 'Now is my chance!' The rest is history, and so it continues. I INHERITED A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, A WAR THAT IS A LOSER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SO NEEDLESSLY DIED. UKRAINE 'LEADERSHIP' HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS, AND EUROPE CONTINUES TO BUY OIL FROM RUSSIA."Going even further, Trump concluded his rant by saying, "THE USA CONTINUES TO SELL MASSIVE $AMOUNTS OF WEAPONS TO NATO, FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UKRAINE (CROOKED JOE GAVE EVERYTHING, FREE, FREE, FREE, INCLUDING 'BIG' MONEY!).""GOD BLESS ALL THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE HUMAN CATASTROPHE! President DJT" he then added.

Gathered in front of it are a group of men from Khan Younis. For more than two years, they have lived in this stadium converted into a refugee camp, their lives suspended between exile and the war they watched on a screen.They are mostly construction workers who were in Israel on the morning of 7 October 2023 when Hamas launched its attack. As Israel rounded up Palestinians from Gaza, they fled to the West Bank, where they remain – cut off from wives and children living in makeshift tents inside the strip. With very few exceptions, civilians are not currently allowed in or out of Gaza. Continue reading...
