Vrij schieten. Want #Hegseth levert de patriots niet die Oekraïne nodig heeft om zichzelf te beschermen. Oekraïne moet eronder.

Russische terreur in de Kyiv vanavond. Russen beschoten de Europese miljoenenstad met acht ballistische raketten; twee raketten zouden zijn onderschept. #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

"2,000 Missiles in 48 Hours for the Middle East Just 24 in 90 Days for Ukraine, Zelenskyy says" (And all those for Ukraine are PAID fully, in advance, by EU) Trump still rather spends $billions of taxpayers' money on missiles in the Middle East ..

That would be Pete Hegseth. He is fine with Ukrainian civilians being slaughtered by Russians. All Russians will burn in hell for this..

Ukraine can't defend itself because @secdef.govpeeps.us doesn't sign off patriots that are ready to go and paid for by Europeans.

Volgens berichtgeving heeft Google: Honderdduizenden bomen laten kappen, met schattingen rond de 400.000 bomen. Bos gekapt en grondwerk uitgevoerd voordat alle verplichte milieu-effectrapportages waren afgerond.

Van de Finse vergunningen- en toezichtsautoriteit opdracht gekregen om de werkzaamheden stop te zetten. Google erkent dat het bos heeft gekapt, maar stelt dat het handelde op basis van zijn interpretatie van de regelgeving en zegt niet bewust de wet te hebben willen overtreden.🤔

Lieve politici Huishoudens gebruiken maar ~20% van alle aardgas, en bespaarden -35% de afgelopen vier jaar Multinationals en zware industrie gebruiken de bulk van alle gas En bespaarden .. niets in 2026 Wat denken jullie, beste politici m/v? Nog maar een paar woonwijken extra van het gas af?

1/ One tiny detail. The Audi plans date from .. October 2022 and were made because of .. the Biden administration. Carmakers US investment plans just in Q4 2022 alone (because of Biden) were $28 billion. Of which nearly 80% has been built ;)

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com

President Donald Trump defended his decision to wield tariffs during a campaign rally in Georgia, saying they’ve made the US richer as he announced that Volkswagen AG agreed to build a new $4.2 billion Audi plant in the state.

After massive criticism Starlink and Starshield have been fully restored in Ukraine. This was due to the great efforts by the people of the USA, in Europe and elsewhere who wouldn’t allow this deeply inhumane and wrong decision to go unanswered. Good job!

Trump wringt zich werkelijk in de meest onmogelijke bochten.. Zichzelf wijsmaken dat Rusland en China niet actief Iran steunen. Trump vernietigt eigenhandig de Verenigde Staten.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We have been pretty happy with Russia that they have not gotten involved in Iran ... Russia and China have not participated or, participated in a much smaller way than they could have." (Both Russia and China have actively helped Iran fight America.)

Oekraïne erkende al anderhalf jaar geleden het risico van Elon Musk zijn Starlink. De alternatieven zijn er, maar met nadelen en beperkingen. Europa zal haar afhankelijk van Starlink afbouwen nu de Amerikanen hebben laten zien hoe onbetrouwbaar ze zijn. De VS snijdt zichzelf in de vingers.

bright.nlOekraïne vreest dat Musk Starlink uitzet in het land, dit zijn de alternatievenOekraïne zoekt naar andere aanbieders van internet via de satelliet omdat het vreest dat Elon Musk de beschikbaarheid van Starlink in het land stopzet.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

It suits the Kremlin to have Washington believe that a deal with Putin is just around the corner. One more meeting, one more concession, one more phone call. And while the Americans wait for a peace deal, Russia keeps waging war. Russia gets concessions. Ukraine gets pressure⤵️

Michael reposted

Maybe you saw Trump's so desperate he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this: At the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign.

Putin and Trump are openly discussing in the media a trilateral summit with Xi Jinping in China next month on ending the war in Ukraine. Conspicuously absent: Ukraine. Somehow, I doubt very much that we will like what they come up with. Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.

Modern American air defense systems rely heavily on software controlled by the original manufacturers and/or the U.S. government. The Patriot air-defence system uses thousands of lines of code to identify, track, and intercept targets, operational upgrades are managed by the producing entities.

“Donald Trump has shown himself as a person to be repulsive…to be a disgrace to his own people as well as to his international responsibilities. We all know his actual reasons for this are a grubby attempt to win a few more votes in the midterms by trying to get oil prices down.”

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump voters are all hot and bothered about imaginary children secretly transitioning to another gender at school. But they are OK with the United States openly transitioning to fascism right before their eyes.

Michael reposted

Well, if Trump says so... The opposite must be true. Oh, by the way, since Trump came to office early last year support for Ukraine is down 99%

Donald Trump presents himself as a strong and decisive leader, but many critics see him as a liar, a crook, and a man driven by arrogance and self-interest. His repeated false statements, questionable conduct, and treatment of Ukraine have raised serious concerns both in the United States and abroad

The fact that he often acts this way openly suggests that he believes the American people will either ignore it or accept it, which many see as a sign that he underestimates their intelligence and judgment.

When we face abuses of power and corruption of this magnitude, literally unprecedented in the history of the American presidency, as members of Congress, we have an obligation to investigate and to ensure that those facts become public and that there's accountability for misdeeds.

Carney says US is trying to break Canada as Alberta votes on separation path. And not just Canada. The US are trying to break Ukraine, the EU, everything we built together after WWII. The Trump administration is a hostile regime, much like Russia. We need to team up and resist the attacks.

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.
