They're talking about Melania, right?
- Melania Trump is Slovenian. Slovenia doesn't even share a border with Russia.
  
  Fun fact, you never have to step on Russian soil to have links to the Kremlin.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you. 🙄
Of course, all MAGAs are traitors.
Can't wait for that CW2 to get hot.
- I'm just hoping for 2.0 k/d ratio minimum for me.
- Let them rot on the surface. Only the honored dead deserve a proper burial.
Telegraph isn’t credible in my opinion.
Edit to add that the story is plausible to me, but I don’t trust The Telegraph very much.
- The Telegraph host Ukraine: the Latest podcast. Their international coverage and work is very good.
In the years before joining the government, Mr Beattie wrote social media posts suggesting Western institutions should be “infiltrated” by Putin, while he also attacked what he described as the “globalist American empire”.
Awesome dude to put in charge. /s
