Every single time we fail to rise to occasion.
The inability to learn is staggering.
There was one and only one real answer - close the skies over parts of Ukraine, for our security.
Instead we are going to be stockpiling air defense that we could send to Ukraine

โ๏ธ๐ธ๐ชSweden will send air defense and aircraft, and the ๐จ๐ฟCzech Republic will send helicopters to protect ๐ต๐ฑPolish airspace from ๐ท๐บRussian drones
I vehemently disagree with Charle Kirk's statements that gun violence is unfortunate but woth it, and that empathy is a made up notion that has done a lot of harm.
Here at the department of WAR weโre focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why weโre ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.
Interesting choice of words."Drones OVER Poland" sounds so much less invasive than "Drones INTO Poland", even though it's the same thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/w...
AI resorts to blackmail and threats "because it's being trained on positive reinforcement and reward systems, just like humans."
No, no. Humans aren't trained, we are fostered through emotional attachment and dependence on others for our biological needs. www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-cl...
I realized today, that for 2 weeks, I have ignored all Trump "news". He used to be impossible to dismiss, bc even his craziest nonsense mattered, it had consequences.
I then realized I believe what he says doesn't really matter anymore. He's just...there. Him and US, getting weaker every day.
US media are asking if/why the US wasn't informed of Operation Spiderweb.
It seems Ukrainian government agencies don't use Signal, so obviously they couldn't get into the group chat.
So, the HUR started planning this in Nov. 2023. If I were Putin, I would *really* worry about what they started planning in Dec 2023, Jan. 2024, Feb. 2024....
Trump will now continue to fullfill his promises/repay his debt to Russia.
Watch what he does when he doesn't have to pretend he cares about Ukraine anymore, watch him with these โฌ๏ธ 3 points in mind.
#Ukraine#USA#Russia
Watch this 2017 (!) segment where Rachel Maddow reports on Trump, Yanukovich, pro-russian oligarchs and their 3-point plan to give Putin everything. The plan is still the same.
1. Oust the president of Ukraine
2. Russia keeps all occupied land
3. US drops all sanctions

Trump will NEVER support Ukraine. He will now walk away, recognize the occupied territories as Russian, end US sanctions on Russia and put pressure on Europe to cut Ukraine off.

Trump is NOT all about deals. He is NOT transactional. Deals and transactions are concepts of mutuality. In a deal there are two or more parties who agree on something where you give and get. Trump tries to win, he believes in a winner-takes-all world, and if he didn't get it all, he didn't win.

He NEVER makes a deal if he can avoid it, and like Putin, he will break or go back on any deal if he feels like he can get more or everything. He doesn't understand win-win or symbiosis - in an economic system, he is an invasive species that destroys its own habitat.
And now I've given up Hรคagen-Dazs too along with other American products. No American ice-cream, no Heinz ketchup or soup, no Grey Poupon, no Kellogg's cereal, no Coca-Cola.
European products are mostly better, but the Hรคagen-Dazs I do grieve.
I feel like this is getting lost. Marco Rubio has the power to ensure that data/evidence of potential Russian war crimes on abducted Ukrainian children gets to Europol. Instead, he is preventing this.
Why? He won't say.
Let's not let this one drop.

If you say #TaxTheDonors instead of saying #TaxTheRich, maybe it makes it a bit clearer to those Americans who are conditioned to worship wealth.
Because you can afford to spend millions of $$ to buy politicians, you can certainly afford to pay more taxes.
The Russian airbase Engels-2, where strategic bombers are based, was heavily damaged. Ammunition depots exploded, devastating the surrounding area. Debris scattered over 5 km, leading to fears of damage to Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers. A huge smoke plume is now covering the base.
Reuters reports that the Trump administration may have deleted data on the abduction of Ukrainian children by Russians.

Great that European leaders talk boots on the ground, but Ukraine has 1,2 million pair of boots, and 2,7 m pairs in reserve. Wouldn't they need like air force support or long range missiles more? Like, now?
It being anniversary of My Lai massacre, here's our "Bucha massacre - We can do it again" t shirt which shows how we are same as imperialists.
"We didn't do it but we will do it again".
If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word โterrorism,โ then expect to be called a โterroristโ soon yourself.
Explain to me the point of NATO when the President of its most powerful member threatens to invade the territory of another member, and the NATO Secretary General hears it all and treats it as a joke.
First impressions on the US-Ukraine deal are that Ukraine has shown that its always best not to grovel, apologize or become desperate with Trump. He cut their aid, helped kill their people, and they kept fighting with their head held high. They made him look cruel and he blinked
Russia has turned me into the kind of person who spends an hour enjoying clips of drones exploding in a city.
I'm a cellist ffs. I'm a mom. And, admittedly, a fervent Ukrainian drone aficionado.
Cousin is an ex-marine who fought with DVwolves in Bakhmut, Kupyansk, Avdiivka, Pokrovsk. He came home this jan. to hear his cousin voice "malicious" opinions on Ukraine that made him "almost choke", and find his mother thinks Zelensky is a "pompous little shit".

"Russiaโs long-range strikes, by cruise missiles that are among the most costly weapons in its nonnuclear arsenal, are aimed using satellite imagery provided by U.S. companies"

Someone needs to say to Trump "You can't make Putin stop. You are too weak. You said you could stop the war with a phone call, but you can't make Putin do anything. Russians are laughing at you."
