Every Ukraine backer who argued Trump would not be so bad, Trump could be persuaded to back Ukraine, that Trump was getting irritated with Putin, that the US just wanted peace--should have the basic decency to admit that they made it all up. Trump was with Putin, always.

Who would have guessed that Russia would abuse a humanitarian truce? How many people are going to disappear in Russian filtration camps?

People from Oleshky who wish to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia, according to FT sources‼️ At this point, we can only brace ourselves for a massive Russian propaganda campaign, legitimized on the international stage by Newsmax's presence.

Dry hard to understand how he won a first term given how much was known about his moral turpitude and financial incompetence were already known about him for decades. But that second term is both unforgivable and going to make America’s standing in the world very hard to recover.

Can you recall the faux outrage that Biden let the Ukrainian military use cluster munitions on the battlefield? It stands in contrast to the silence that we use them on civilians.

Russia struck Kyiv’s historic center overnight with an Iskander ballistic missile carrying a K5 cluster warhead. Its 58 submunitions explode in midair across a 400×400m area. A nice addition to the humanitarian aid package – ensuring that as many people as possible receive their share ✨

I understand perfectly well why Witkoff is kissing Putin’s ass. He came to negotiate with a Russian dictator. But that doesn’t make it any less disgusting to watch him call Putin a “humanitarian.” So let me leave a VERY incomplete list of what Putin and his army have done in Ukraine:

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?

Murdered by Russians in Kyiv two days ago, Maryana Tokarchuk, 21 years old. As one of Ukraine's partners increasingly joins Russia in their war on global democracy, the people of Ukraine face massacres at the highest level of the war, and Russians don't intend to stop at Ukraine.

The Russians spell it out over and over again that they seek Ukrainian capitulation and stupid Westerners still screech about why Ukraine can’t agree to give up a bit of territory to supposedly end the war.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that any peace deal acceptable to Moscow and Washington would mean the end of Zelensky’s “regime” and “of him personally.” www.kyivpost.com/post/87638

Am I the only one who can’t tell the difference anymore between what Russian propagandists are saying and what the US government is saying? Both are blatantly lying.

British and French jets shot down the Iranian missiles and drones over Israel without entering the war. NATO countries could've done much, much more for Ukraine. "You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war".

Ukraine is not asking the world to feel sorry for us. We are asking the world to see what is happening and act.

This is a baby killed in a baby stroller by russian monsters in broad daylight‼️ Russia struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a jet-powered drone while it was packed with people and families. They killed at least 3, a baby and two women, and injured at least 14 more.

Out of all the Trump admin Rubio disgusts me on a different level. This guy KNOWS what he is saying is wrong. He knows Trump is a huge risk, and he KNOWS that Putin is the bad guy. For power, he is willing to say or do whatever his smelly master tells him to do.

Tim Gallagher reposted

You know how you can tell people who are still wilfully denying reality? They're telling you Trump has recently changed course, become more pro-Russian, or pivoted against Ukraine. This is nonsense. Trump has been with Putin throughout. Its just the press failed to see it.

Russian attacks on allied shipping within the territorial waters or exclusive economic zones of allies is an act of war. Time for SecGenNATO and NATO to roll up their sleeves and prove that such acts have proportionate consequences against Russian shipping.

Russia is hoping that France will descend into bloodshed. Putin wants his Mélenchon and Le Pen puppets elected. Either will do. Both a pro-Russian. The foul stench of the Kremlin's Far Left/Right breath is all over this.

I'm not saying that there's any easy choice for the Prime Minister here. But I am saying that continuing to appease and mollify Trump is also appeasing and mollifying Putin. And betraying the President and people of Ukraine. #Trump is an enemy of democracy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

It's Day 1696 of the clear genocide in Ukraine. I have no time for genocide deniers, or those leaders who are too afraid of "rocking the boat" to say it. Russia is murdering civilians every day, trying to destroy all culture in the country it invaded in 2014 + 2022 Here's the🧵

Until we understand what it means that russia is waging a Vernichtungskrieg—a war of extermination—in Ukraine, not only will we have failed to grasp the essence of russia’s war and its strategy today and tomorrow, but we Europeans will remain unable to make the necessary decision.

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

Everybody needs to be crystal clear that “the deal” in Trump’s mind is Ukrainian surrender. Of course, Putin wants it. But neither Putin nor Trump can compel it or wishcast it.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: How are going to make Putin abide by the ceasefire? TRUMP: I think what's happening is he wants to make a deal and we have to get Zelenskyy to want to make a deal. I think Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelenskyy.

Sorry to take off their rose glasses, but this is a losing strategy. If they still haven’t figured it out after watching 12 years of Russia’s war against Ukraine, they’re dumb as hell.

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.

Democratic Ukraine attempting to influence U.S. elections by reducing fascist Russia's ability to influence U.S. elections?

Unintended consequences. According to cloudfare, the targeting of Yandex data centres by Ukraine has resulted in a massive drop in russian bots. Could this have an impact on the American mid term elections?
