Regarding Belarus. When the full-scale war began, we were hit by missiles that killed children and adults. And Alexander Lukashenko knows this. A large number of missiles were launched from Belarus. Back then, he called, apologized, and said it was out of his control. I don’t believe that, but that’s what he’s already said. Now, Russia will keep pushing him further into this war. Now, he understands that Ukraine will respond. There’s no need for extra words. There are retransmitters on his communication towers. On his territory, along the two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. He should remove that equipment. I think a week is enough for him to do that. Because right now, every day, our civilians are being killed, and children are being wounded as a result of this. If he doesn’t do it, we will. The same goes for his oil-refining sector, for example. We are doing everything so that the Russians don’t have the ability to sell oil and supply diesel and fuel to their army. Today, Belarus is one of the key suppliers for the Russian army. Can this be stopped? I’m sure it’s within his power. And he is the one who controls it. As for the drone strike on a bus with Belarusian children, everyone has already acknowledged it – international experts and, it seems, even the Russians are admitting it wasn’t our strike. The Russians will resort to all sorts of provocations to drag the Belarusian people into this war. This is one of them. From the joint press interaction with the President of Honduras, Nasry Asfura.

Trump: "G7 used to be G8. They should have kept the G8. You probably wouldn't have the war with Russia and Ukraine if they did." FACT CHECK: Russia was excluded from the G8 in March 2014 as a direct response to its illegal invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

Ukraine has just done something astonishing. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has just launched TrophyLab - essentially making access to all captured Russian weapon technologies free for foreign governments, research institutions and the defence industry. They will even send physical hardware to allies for examination and to rip it apart to discover Russian military secrets. As well as technical specifications, blueprints and research results. The website includes listings for armoured vehicles, missiles, aircraft, UAVs, EW assets, UGVs, cruise missiles etc. Governments usually want to keep this kind of captured tech a secret for its own advantage. Ukraine has decided to make it (relatively, I think) open access for the benefit of the West.

‼️The Western world and international organizations need to finally see the horrific sexual crimes that Russia is committing in Ukraine and stop turning a blind eye to them.

Just a reminder that no history of groveling, defending, cheerleading, or obsequiousness will ever be enough. Even someone who humiliated herself on a nightly basis defending tariffs etc will be fodder for mockery by the thin skinned children running White House comms

The Texas screwworm story is a version of this. The Reflecting Pool fiasco is a version of this. The Iranian war is a very large and ongoing version of this. Everywhere you look, incompetence is having its natural consequences, with more to come. Much more, I'm afraid.

Republicans: We freed the slaves! Also Republicans: Celebrating slaves being freed is racist!

@JayinKyiv @Dixie202021 Look who has all the cards.

Zelensky tells the Belarusian dictator that he has one week to remove the missile guidance systems that he allows Russia to use for targeting Ukrainian cities or "we will remove them ourselves".

Courtesy of Qatar (except for the billion dollars we spent to upgrade it) Oh remember…. Trump gets to KEEP THIS when he leaves office

Dangerous days ahead until Clayton takes over…. Pulte in the seat, get ready for some crazy shit

A government of gangsters.

No supplemental funds for DOD until Hegseth resigns.

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world. Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures. What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform: 🔗 trophylab.mod.gov.ua/en/

FLASH: Justice Dept refuses to make official court filing which would've confirmed they're halting the Trump $1.7 billion slush fund Judge in Virginia ordered such a declaration by today Justice Dept instead writes to court: "Such declarations are unnecessary and the compelled testimony of senior officials from the Executive Branch implicates serious separation of powers concerns"

As one of the original Never Trump guys, I can affirm that Dave was not at our meetings.

And everyone was getting along so nicely before this

Trump's online brigades are going through the phases of grief about America's Iran capitulation; good that they're past denial but they seem stuck at anger

Always good to deal with outbreaks after they've already started

NYT: A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas weeks after Defense Secretary Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu, defense officials said. nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/…
