The letter which is signed by some of the most known Democratic Party members of the House is requesting from Biden to start immediate diplomatic efforts & sit down with President of Russian Federation in order to find a solution that ends the war.

The letter is signed among others by: Jamie Raskin (Md.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Cori Bush (Mo.), Ro Khanna (Calif.) και Ilhan Omar (Minn.).

As we revealed last night the "movement of the 30" is causing an earthquake within US democratic party.
As you can read they openly call Biden to roll back part of the sanctions and negotiate with Russia a peaceful resolution.

On Sunday 30th October in Brazil will take place the 2nd round of the presidential elections.

And some humour from Munich in Germany.
While Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz is exiting a meeting a citizen is asking him to start negotiations with President of RF Vladimir Putin for peace.
As basic reason the fact that he wants to pay the doner 4 euros as he used to pay before the crisis and not 8 euros.
😁
Good sense of humour can brighten the day!

Ursula von der Leyen is a German politician who has been serving as the president of the European Commission since 2019.

Now she is asking Europeans to pay a Minimum of 1.5bln $ per month each month in 2023 to support Ukraine.

Same time when all European citizens are facing extreme issues with inflation, price of living, unemployment, cost of energy they are asked to pay the cost of providing weapons and fueling the war.

The worst part about it is that this figure does not even correspond to the reality of what Ukraine needs as Zelenskiy mentioned 2 days ago that his country needs minimum 55 bln $ next year just to keep the country running and some basic repair of damages without even including money needed for continuing the war, rebuilding the energy infrastructure and to start full scale reconstruction of the country. 😱

Unbelievable statements by former Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In the recorded video message she more or less claimed there is organised plot from the Republicans already set in motion to "steal" the elections of 2024!!!
Clinton who lost the 2016 election race versus Trump speaks in her video for right wing extremists and asked Americans to donate their money already now to "crash the coup" and secure the 2024 election process.
Something is going awfully wrong in "America the land of the free" and while they are going down they put the whole world in a downward spiral.

The same moment new report this time issued by Marco Polo organization and published by daily mail claims to be bringing significant indications that incriminate not only Hunter Biden but also the current President Joe Biden.
As per the famous Hunter Biden laptop data Joe is complicit in tax evasion, violations of the Presidential Records Act and the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and using nonpublic information from a government job for financial gain.

With everything that has been brought to public attention the last years regarding US White House one has to wonder where is the end of the barrel?
Here is the full article from Daily Mail

It took less than 24 hours.
After reported extreme pressures from the State Department, the President himself and the powerful lobbyists of the Military Complex industry in US the 30 Democratic Members of the House withdraw their yesterday letter.
The letter signed and sent on 24th October by 30 members was urging President Biden to start talks for peaceful resolution of the war in Ukraine.
But the war lovers and the deep state DO NOT want peace.
How correct seem in retrospect the words of Tulsi Gabbard who quited Democratic party 10 days ago, attacking ‘elitist cabal of warmongers’.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/11/tulsi-gabbard-quits-democratic-party
The reasons for withdrawing the letter "it was sent without being reviewed and signed earlier". At least a lame excuse to retract a letter urging on peace talks on a moment that war is escalating. Here the announcement from Washington Post:
