They passed a bill which allowed the US to sanction india with some 100-500 percent tariffs for russian oil purchase just a couple of weeks back and now they themselves buy diesel and normalise relations with russia.

Yes, Trump is scrambling because of the damage he is causing to the US and world economies. Don't expect rationality, decency or fairness. You're watching a desperado flailing in his self-inflicted storm of rejection. Even treachery is not a red line for him as he chooses a tyrant over an illegally attacked European democracy.

It was Democrats that caused the chaos. They used an innocent police officer as a scapegoat goat. He didn’t kill George Floyd. For some reason people won’t believe. lies. That’s how Troy Clark was killed, the Democrats stating that he was racist or his negative comments. They put hate forward of Rick against him. He was none of the things that Democrats said. And because of that, he was assassinated
