the signs are already there (JP Morgan circling ‘rebuilding’ efforts), but damn, when the full details start to come out and if/when the establishment becomes comfortable saying it was a mistake (ala Iraq), it will be shown just how much of a ratfuck this is.
Meanwhile the NHS crumbles more and more every day.
Are there any pictures where zelensky doesn’t look like he’s about to cry or shit?
