The thumbnail is the look of the moment when Blinken realizes that nobody is afraid of the USA anymore.

If little Blinker is for it ... I'm against it; if Blinker is against it ... I'm for it. 😂

Tell your boss to stop his wars we all want to live in peace

What did you expect? Keep out troops out of there.

These criminals think people will simply be too mixed up by all the lies to know who the good and bad guys are in the end, but Americans know a war crime when they see one, and Americans are absolutely sick of democrat incompetence. Everyone can see that Ukraine bombing Crimea, while Ukraine also wants to send grain through the area, is just a dumb move, even if they're doing it to achieve just that so they can blame Russia when the grain stops. The world won't see the blame as being on Russia, but rather, will see it as Ukraine's fault for bombing a civilian bridge that killed civilians.

If there had been a military convoy on that bridge it'd be a different story, but a bridge with civilians on it is not a valid military target, it's a war crime, and the more the Biden regime supports Zelensky, the more his war crimes also become America's war crimes. The world is watching, and the world will pass its judgment eventually, and no amount of democrat propaganda will change the worlds conclusion, nor the consequences.

India and many other countries will turn on the US, and no amount of bribes will change that. Even Japan and Taiwan will turn their backs on the US. These crooks think they're winning now, when they're only convincing themselves that they are, while decades from now the landscape will be completely different and completely irreversible, with total catastrophic damage to America's interests and influence in the world.

Im trying to squint my ears to hear this whispering.

[sergeipetrov_rzn]

basically he said Ukraine torpedoed the deal so now they are on their own but we will issue a standard condemnation in due order

[christinarosed.p.]

Who can blame Putin? We can all blame Biden!

[SRIKANTHA-REDDY]

It must be give and take policy, not just loot like the USA does

They stirred the honeycomb now the wasps are ready to sting.

This Blinken guy is so full to IT! 🇺🇦=🌈

[siphi]

Blinken is pure evil, you can see it in his eyes, and eye bags he needs some sleep.

God, the USA s the tubule maker. The world needs to detail harshly with

[The_Jas_Singh]

Russia was forced to pull out because (1) the EU failed to comply with its obligations such as re-connecting Russia's Agricultural Bank to the SWIFT system and lifting insurance sanctions on Russian ships. These failures were just admitted by the UN Secretariat!! (2) Ukraine is smuggling weapons through the corridor and planted sea mines (3) Promised grain shipments weren't going to Africa due to the EU countries taking the bulk of them and (4) Ukrainian forces bombed the Crimean bridge in October 2022 by illegally using the safe sea corridor. Despite the treacherous actions of the EU and Ukraine, Putin maintained the deal for 12 months until enough was enough! You also failed to point out that Russia has offered free grain to Africa and third world countries in need. Shame on fake news outlets being paid by the Deep State to publish fake news.

[Mr.meaner]

Sounds like America has no idea what to do now

[pascalango]

I wonder why Russia doesnt not condition the resume of grain by urging NATO to retire from Eastern Europe with all its weapons, missiles and bombs or even never to come/extend to Europe anymore?

The first lot of ships(87)left and only 3 of them got to their intended destination(Africa). Rich European countries took them all. Why would anyone want to be part of a deceitful arrangement.

[benjamindaniel]

No more gas ⛽️ no more grains to Eu and Uk ❤❤❤❤ for Russia 🇷🇺

[Herodotus__]

Russia is not endimg the agreement expired. Meanwhile the first agreement wasnt implemented so Russia is out till implemented. Grain can go through EU but EU farmers refuse. Lmfao

A day without Blinken is like a day without sunshine!
