Pentagon approves National Guard deployment ahead of DC trucker convoy The Hill
Will the next great trucker protest be by UPS workers? The Week
The Teamsters have come out strongly against the convoys, calling them a “disruption” and a threat to the livelihood of working Americans. … The trucker convoy protests have little to do with traditional labor issues, and lots of Teamsters view them with disdain; many of those participating in the protests are nonunion owner-operators. The Ottawa convoy’s target is not the boss.
The Teamsters facing off against UPS, on the other hand, are preparing for a strike.
The UPS contract expires in 2023, giving the union an opportunity for a do-over on issues such as two-tier pay structures, forced overtime, and harassment by supervisors at a company that increased its operating profits by over 50 percent in 2021.

Decision taken on denazification, demilitarization of Ukraine — Putin TASS
Address by the President of the Russian Federation
Those who aspire to global dominance have publicly designated Russia as their enemy. They did so with impunity. Make no mistake, they had no reason to act this way..
Even now, with NATO’s eastward expansion the situation for Russia has been becoming worse and more dangerous by the year. Moreover, these past days NATO leadership has been blunt in its statements that they need to accelerate and step up efforts to bring the alliance’s infrastructure closer to Russia’s borders. In other words, they have been toughening their position. We cannot stay idle and passively observe these developments. This would be an absolutely irresponsible thing to do for us….
The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.
It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force.

To US media’s many state stenographers: don’t take this personally. You’ve done your best with a tough task. Hard to manufacture consent for keeping Ukraine a US colony where Hunter gets his payday and neo-Nazis get US weapons, while the plebes at home just get higher gas prices: https://t.co/akuj7HnNVg

The whole west is freaking out over Russia’s approval of the independence of #Donetsk & #Luhansk, that’s funny because I never saw anyone freaking out when the west slaughtered 200thousand+ innocent people in #Yemen.
That says all u need to know of true western views about “HRs”
