Trump and Hegseth should get life just for starting an illegal war with Iran and targeting those civilian fishing boats. And that's just the first two items on a very long list.

If you're in touch with Democratic candidates, let them know you want retribution. No more healing, no more looking forward. MAGA wasn't sufficiently punished so they got bolder. Treat them like russians because they think the same way.

War is horror. Russians were stupid to start a one. They should just admit they made a mistake and go home.

Robert "Madyar" Brovdi: Largest killing of enemy forces [Russians] in history of mankind is being coordinated from this very room. In 10 months, we've surpassed 85,000 confirmed enemy personnel destroyed, all eliminated from this room using drones that cost $300-$2,000 each.

If Ukraine leaves its defence line in the Donbas, russia will just try to use this opportunity to push on towards Kharkiv and Dnipro.

Maria Popova@popovaprof.bsky.social

Another reminder: the prevailing assumption is that if Ukr agreed to give up Donbas, Ru would immediately stop the war. Ru has promised no such thing. It's very likely Ru would respond by praising the concession as a first step and putting forth more demands to "remove the root causes of the war"

It is also worth adding that almost nothing we provided to Ukraine is even relevant to this conflict. The only thing that would be is the PAC-3 and we gave a borderline negligible number of interceptors. We're not using GMLRs, Bradleys or 155mm rounds to fight Iran. This is completely made up.

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

The "Putin invaded Ukraine to keep russia safe" crowd is strangely silent about this.

Minna Ålander 🌻@alanderminna.bsky.social

Putin is making Russia small again: ”Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war.”

On January 13, the first frozen death case in Kyiv. 84-year-old Holocaust survivor Yevgenia Bezfamilna. Parents died in Babyn Yar. The child lived. The orphanage gave her a made-up family name – Bezfamilnaya or Bezfamilna in Ukrainian. Which means “Nameless.”

Some seem to think Trump is threatening to scale back support for Ukraine. In fact, Trump stopped support on Day 1 and instead only pressures Ukraine. The aid that continued trickling was Biden era commitments. Intelligence sharing remains, which is important, no doubt, but it hardly counts as aid.

Russia always wants only peace, the wars happen by accident 🤷

OTD in 1939 USSR requested Nazi German assistance in a blockading Finland by supplying soviet submarines assigned to the task. The sort of thing one ally would request of another. 👓📖👇

This happens in literally every country outside of russia. Did you know that Ireland is suppressing Russian?

""We also need to make it clear to parents who speak Russian with their children at home that these will be at a significant disadvantage when they start school compared to others whose mother tongue is Ukrainian"" A Ukrainian women said that in an interview. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I'm old enough to remember the times when anti-pedo was a universal political position across the political spectrum.

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

Russia has no interest in kinetic confrontation but is eager to weaken our collective ability to think, act and mount a defense. Drones & jets are deadly weapons, but in NATO skies, they’re fuel for a different sort of war — one Moscow believes it’s winning. My latest nypost.com/2025/09/27/o...

Here at the department of WAR we’re focused on LETHALITY and the WARRIOR ETHOS which is why we’re ignoring a conventional attack on a NATO member so we can drone strike boats in the Caribbean.

Casual talk with Ukrainian relatives is, “remember A? Their son’s body was found at the outskirts of Bucha after deoccupation; conclusion was, he died of a shell fragment. The authorities requested exhumation now. Close examination of bone tissues confirmed he was actually shot”

Russia just struck an apartment building in Kharkiv for no military reason whatsoever. Murdered several people. Murdered 1-year-old child! What peace deal? what peace deal, you orange piece of shit? Do people who want peace murder children in their beds? Arm Ukraine!

"I want Ukraine to deal with its corruption problem." Ukrainians bully their government into dealing with its corruption. "But not like this."

Right-wing & Russian (same thing really) disinformation networks and collaborators are attempting to paint the protests in Ukraine as anti-war in latest push to destabilize Ukraine. The protests are strictly anti-law 12414 and everyone involved on all sides still oppose Russia. #standwithUkraine
