Gill admitted to accepting money to make specific statements, as tasked by a former Ukrainian politician. The offenses occurred between 2018 and 2019, during his time as an MEP representing Wales.

Russia dares NATO to shoot. This entire situation feels like a high-stakes game of chicken, doesn’t it? It’s a bit unnerving, to be frank, especially when you can’t quite understand the logic behind it all. Why wouldn’t NATO just quietly take down the aircraft or drones that violate its airspace, without making a big song and dance about it? It’s almost like Russia wants NATO to react.
Consider this: if NATO shot down a Russian plane and kept it quiet, Russia would have to be the one to announce it. They’d be forced to say, “Hey, NATO shot down our plane!”… Continue reading

Trump Is Lying About Left-Wing Terrorism, and the evidence is clear. It’s almost a reflex at this point to state the obvious.
