@TheLyonsDen Who would've thought that the dumbest most corrupt president in America's history, could end up in this mess???? BTW, didn't he brag that he could end the Russian/Ukrainian war in 24 hours? How's that going? The people of the US are solely responsible for electing th 131 views · 12 likes · 2 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
@TheLyonsDen "Iran doesn’t want to end it"?????? Typical @abcnews bullshit. Iran was illegally attacked! Unprovoked! They want to end the war, but it has to be on their terms. Or they will be destroyed like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, etc. 190 views · 11 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Iran war set to go into 2027. US yet again has got itself into a quagmire. Trump doesn’t know how to end this war & Iran doesn’t want to end it. The US has failed on all 3 aims. Now US is believed to be “quietly extending troop deployments.” My new column https://t.co/Jyed4wPGNw 16.9K views · 717 likes · 298 reposts · 61 replies Open on X →
Vance v Rubio: Succession speculation that’s gripping America. Trump jokes about it, but for the MAGA base this is very real. Vance is trying to defend & solve a war he didn’t want (Iran) while Trump keeps giving Rubio rave reviews.

This war has been a disaster for Trump - the same President who hosted the 1st meeting of his Board of Peace & 9 days later, along with Israel, began a war against Iran,engulfing much of the Mideast. For Trump, a signature seems the priority. My new column https://t.co/kZOYDGLnfG 1.7K views · 51 likes · 23 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

@TheLyonsDen John, I’m about 100 pages into your new book & it’s encouraging that Ukrainians are fully embracing the fight against Putin’s Russia. As a psychologist, I was intrigued by how effective and rejuvenating the “horse therapy” was for warriors experiencing PTSD. Thank yo 210 views · 5 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Many thanks to judges of Indie Book Awards for long listing A Bunker in Kyiv for 2026 non fiction Book of the Year. As the acknowledgment in the book says, this is a tribute to the courage of Ukraine's "volunteer army" who've denied Vladimir Putin the conquest he wanted in 3 days
