Today's topics: 

1) Stephen Miller as Director of Homeland Security Council?:  Called  US homeland security council (HSC),  White House Deputy Chief of Staff Miller leads it as new ''homeland security adviser''. Earlier this year,  Miller empowered the HSC to become an 'independent entity', a departure from previous administrations, where it was considered part of  the National Security Council (NSC.)  What do you think of this?    


2)  Is Vlad Putin Engaged In A ''Colonial War'' Against Ukraine?:  Putin says he wants to 'free Ukraine' from the  evil and undemocratic ' Nazi dictatorship' of President  Zelensky.  He  says Russia was threatened by Ukraine.    But is Putin really engaged in a 'colonial war'  to make Ukraine a Russian colony?  If so, will he refuse Trump's Peace Plan for Ukraine? 


3)  Is Zelensky the Legitimate President of Ukraine? The Ukrainian Constitution says no elections will occur during  wartime, but it has been four years of war.  Should Zelensky be seen as illegitimate unless an election is held? 

4)  Jared Kushner and Tom Barrack--- Links to Saudi Arabia?:  Both Kushner and Barrack have close ties to the Saudi Crown Prince. And both are in the inner circle of Donald Trump.  Is that why Trump is always so pro-Saudi?  What financial interests do they have in the Kingdom?
