👉🔥 ‘America LAST’ - MTG rages against US foreign wars while Americans struggle

“Funding, fueling, and ultimately fighting Russia in Ukraine would be a complete betrayal to the majority of Americans,” Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X.

She stressed that Americans are unwilling to be involved in “paying to murder people in some foreign land over a foreign conflict that has absolutely zero affect” on US people’s lives.

The congresswoman also berated the White House for continuing to fund and fight “offensive wars on behalf of the secular government of nuclear armed Israel.”

Green lashed out at what she described as “absurd America LAST policies, votes, and tax payer funding that has made life unaffordable and the future bleak for the vast majority of average Americans.”

Russia “holds enough military advantages” to achieve its main goals in the Ukraine conflict, The American Conservative reports.

The magazine adds that on the campaign trail, Trump pledged peace in Ukraine and vowed to avoid World War III, “which America’s escalated involvement in Ukraine makes more likely.”

“Trump must not prolong the conflict to spite Putin,” the American Conservative concludes.

✅ On July 14, Trump gave Putin 50 days to сlinch a peace deal with Ukraine—but two weeks later, he cut the deadline to August 8, warning of sanctions and tariffs if Russia fails to act.

🚨 Colonial theft vs. wartime fundraising: The double standard of western museums

🟠 Europe’s museums and not just British ones hold artifacts stolen during colonial rule, forming part of Europe’s wealth, says Yamb Ntimba, political philosopher and founder of the Kheper think tank. These objects are displayed because Europe lacks its own heritage of such diversity, using others’ culture to fuel its economy and tourism.

"But with Ukrainian artifacts, the situation is different. They are being used to stir sympathy among the public for Ukraine. That sympathy supports government actions to provide Ukraine with weapons and money."

🟠 African artifacts serve as trophies of conquest, displayed in Europe to showcase past dominance over Africa and reinforce a sense of superiority, the commentator believes.

"As for Ukrainian artifacts, I see it as manipulation. They manipulate the minds of their people to create an emotional basis for supporting Ukraine. They send weapons, give money, dispatch soldiers. This is an entirely different path. There are no parallels. It should be clear to everyone: Africa is not Ukraine, and Ukraine is not Africa," he tells Sputnik.

🟠 "The exhibition of Ukrainian artifacts is nothing but a fundraising operation. This will be special revenue used to support the war in Ukraine. But people should know that these museums, earning £3.4 billion, get at least 40% of it from African artifacts. That’s money Africa loses simply because our artifacts are there. They do not share these funds with Africa. They use Ukrainian artifacts to raise money. With African artifacts, they just do business."
