In dark times nothing beats a prank of this magnitude:
Now apply this approach to kids' playground. A 10-year-old bully breaks a 5-year-old's arm to take hold of his toy car. The teacher says: it's ok to keep the toy, because while hitting the other kid so hard he also hurt his own hand.

Trump implies that since Russia "fought for that land" in Ukraine "and lost alot of soldiers" doing it, that Russia should keep it.

Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody. It’s a tremendous diplomatic achievement, and we’re grateful that they’ll be back home with their families where they belong.
