    B-list actor refuses to take a car ride with US president.

    Now the second best army in the world is on day 814 of a 3 day war. Putin has less tanks, jets and hair than when he started 3 years ago and they’ve achieve exactly 0 of their stated objectives.

        When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the US offered to extract president Zelenskyy(actor turned president) and form a government in exile because everyone thought Ukraine would fall in mere weeks. Zelenskyy refused, stating he needed ammunition not a ride. Back then Russia was believed to have a near-peer military to the US.

        And here we are now.

      I think unfortunately the “illuminati” is a lot more boring than that. It’s just a group of career ladder climbers hell bent on staying close to power and/or those who wield it.

      We like to think the only people that would do something like that would be evil men and women part of secret societies with global ambitions but it’s just these greedy fuckers who need validation in a way none of us could ever dream of.
