Yesterday, Ukrainian forces were at launch positions, fully prepared to strike the Kremlin and Red Square. They were ordered to stand down at the very last moment after Putin begged Trump for a ceasefire to avoid falling into the mud. He got a ceasefire. We agreed to no strategic strikes against Russia FOR 3 DAYS!!! And what did Russians do? They hit a high-rise building in Kharkiv on that very “parade” day. A little child is among the victims. It’s always a bad idea to pity Russians and agree to their conditions. They will always act in the most disgusting and dirty way.

🚨🇷🇺Chaos, filth, and garbage piled up in St. Petersburg, Russia after four years of war and brutal sanctions from the Coalition of the Willing against Putin. Except it's not Russia - this is London, where the native population is no longer safe to walk the streets after 9 PM.

Former US Secretary of Defence and CIA Director Robert Gates on the failure of considering Russian security concerns: - "When Russia was weak in the 1990s and beyond, we did not take Russian interests seriously. We did a poor job of seeing the world from their point of view, and of managing the relationship for the long term…. The relationship with Russia had been badly mismanaged after Bush 41 left office in 1993. Getting Gorbachev to acquiesce to a unified Germany as a member of NATO had been a huge accomplishment. But moving so quickly after the collapse of the Soviet Union to incorporate so many of its formerly subjugated states into NATO was a mistake…. Trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was truly overreaching"
