The University of Idaho murders that claimed the lives of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin may have originally been sexually motivated, forensic analyst Joseph Scott Morgan tells “Jesse Weber Live.” Morgan says convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger’s motivation likely turned to “fear” once he encountered multiple people living in the home.

As far as I understand, Rubio is saying that there are no US security guarantees whatsoever in reality, only in name. Stop taking Trump’s US seriously!

Stop taking Trump’s US seriously!Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en)US Secretary of State Marko Rubio on security guarantees for Ukraine:

There’s a lot of talk about security guarantees, and it’s something that there’s general agreement about now with the case of Ukraine. But those security guarantees involve the deployment of a handful of European troops, primarily French and the UK, and then a US backstop. But in fact, the security guarantee is the US backstop.

And I’m not diminishing the fact that some countries in Europe are willing to place troops in a post-war Ukraine. What I’m pointing out is that is irrelevant without the US backstop. And the reason why you need such a strong US backstop is because our allies and our partners have not invested enough in their own defense capabilities over the last 20 or 30 years.

Now, hopefully that’s going to change. Hopefully that is changing.
