@CDLatour61 @bulkeley_john @Osint613 They withdrew because they lost the Cold War. Which is only fitting, that the loser should be required to do such a thing.

@bulkeley_john @Osint613 Who blew up NS2? As is well known, the Russians withdrew their troops from Germany after reunification. It would certainly be advantageous for Germany if the Americans were to do the same.

Reporter: Lindsey Graham has asked for you to reconsider the American basis in Spain, in Germany, after what they have done in the Strait of Hormuz. What do you think? U.S. President Donald Trump: "Well, it deserves. He's right about asking that. And I think NATO's gone down a long way because they haven't, I mean, they should be helping with the strait. They get much of their energy from the Strait of Hormuz. And if Lindsey Graham said that, and don't forget, he was the big NATO guy for a while, and now he's not. And a lot of senators and congressmen, they were very upset with the fact that NATO has done nothing."

@bulkeley_john @Osint613 Do you seriously think that, given the way the United States has been acting for the past year, you will be welcome in eastern Europe?

x.com/Osint613/statu… FINALLY, senators and the president are considering moving bases out of Spain and Germany. It's about time!!! The only countries in NATO that take defense seriously are in Eastern Europe. Our primary bases should be in places like the Baltic States, Finland, Romania, and Poland, to name a few. And as for people whining about losing a base in Rota, Spain, screw them. We can maintain bases in Crete or Sicily. We have to start showing these deadbeats in NATO that there are consequences for their actions, and if they are not going to be serious about defense, then we don't have to take them seriously either.

@JayDavidso44623 @JRPSD @ChrisO_wiki And btw, Jefferson called it "Canada" in his August 1812 remarks, so I will too.

@JayDavidso44623 @JRPSD @ChrisO_wiki The flex is that Isaac Brock, the British general on the ground, had serious doubts about the reliability of the militia forces he had at his disposal. Many were American expatriates from the Revolution. You should have easily defeated them. But you didn't.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

@Dkcowboy88 @krassenstein We could all TLDR after you admitted Trump doesn't control prices.

Trump doesnt control prices... supply (currently in question on the strait) and DEMAND. GOOD THING AMERICA SECURED SO MUCH LNG!!! CANADA SITS ON SO MUCH OIL TOO BUT THEIR GOVT BANS CANADIAN BUSINESSES FROM TRANSPORTING CRUDE ALONG THE WEST COAST, WHILE OTHER NATIONS WITH FULL BELLIES OF OIL WAVE PAST BC FROM ALASKA.

BREAKING: Trump: "We don't use the Strait [of Hormuz], the United States, we don't need it." Trump is a complete and utter idiot who has no clue how global commodity pricing works. I told you all he would crash the economy. You didn’t listen.

@geneserafim @JayinKyiv Let us hope that you are correct. Peace!

@BMedicky @JayinKyiv I understand your perspective. My ask is that we hold them to account when they don’t. I actually think most people are good, kind and will help if they can. Just as most can differentiate. Plenty of what you speak of though.

Holy shit.. Trump just opened up the Russian war machine to cash flows from the US. Putin's puppet state of Belarus, a nation with a GDP the size of Vermont will now be a conduit for Russia to/from the US. Trump is Putin's whore.

@EPICGOPFAIL @SavageSqueek Correlation is not causation, except when...

UMARF Occupational Safety & Health Department reminds all that danger of sitting next to full natural gas cylinders, while low is never zero.

There is no such thing as “too many cats”

@AndrewPerpetua As brutal as it is to say it, a pilot is a lucrative target. All that training and experience gone in an instant. Not so easy to replace.

People, somehow, forget that every single member of the entire Russian military is an armed criminal trying to commit genocide for money.

Helicopters are flying artillery pieces. If a 2A65 Msta-B crew lost their gun and tried running away and got killed nobody would blink. But a helicopter pilot gets killed and people shed a tear. There is no difference. Morally or legally.

@siaxares @diegodazan The last thing Iran wants to do is activate Windows properly and pay the Great Satan an activation fee.

The Islamic regime’s propaganda machine just aired a “new year message” supposedly from Mojtaba, read in someone else’s voice, with a non‑activated Windows watermark in the background. You can’t make this up. The level of incompetence would be funny if it weren’t so tragic.

ZELENSKYY: War no longer has distance. Drones already fly 3,000–5,000 km today, and soon they'll reach 10,000 km. Every day, Ukraine faces 350–500 drone strikes. Imagine any country dealing with that. No continent is safe anymore. Distance is now a matter of months, not decades.

Heartbreaking. A young boy has lost his father, who gave his life defending both his family and his country from Russian aggression. No child should ever have to live through something like this. Remember it. And do not forgive. 📹: United24

Ukraine is already producing drones together with Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands. Joint production will soon start with Norway and Sweden, with France by the end of the year, and agreements are in place to begin with Romania, Spain, and other countries. - Zelensky 🇺🇦 I like good news🫡

@theliamnissan @PoxSocks Nothing to worry about, then. Why even send troops?

Trump just said about the Strait of Hormuz "At some point it will open itself"

@Beefeater_Fella So sad.

When the house looses money, you know there’s trouble. The Russian Central Bank ended the year with a loss of almost 185 billion rubles for the first time since the start of the special military operation. In 2024, the regulator recorded a profit of almost 200 billion rubles. The poor financial results at the Central Bank were explained by a reduction in the volume of refinancing and a decrease in the share of expensive loans.

I held another round of meetings with the heads of foreign diplomatic missions accredited to Ukraine regarding the situation in the energy sector. We have mobilised all available efforts and resources. However, we have no illusions that Russia's shelling will cease. Moreover, it may intensify and expand. We are already witnessing a shift in targeting logistics routes, and have to be prepared for further Russia’s attempts to create new challenges for us. I briefed foreign diplomats on Ukraine’s Regional Energy Resilience Plans aimed at strengthening energy security by protecting critical infrastructure, developing distributed generation, and ensuring uninterrupted water and heating supply. Frontline communities and big densely populated cities are our outmost priority. The total estimated cost of the Resilience Plans is €5.4bn, including the needs of Kyiv. It is essential for Ukraine that a portion of the EU €90bn loan be allocated to support the implementation of the Resilience Plans and enhance the energy autonomy of our communities. We greatly value the assistance our partners have provided us via supplies of energy equipment, contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, as well as direct donations and grants. Enhancing the partnership on the regional levels including twin cities projects and countries’ patronage over regions will be important to ensure our common energy resilience and security.

🇺🇦⚔️ Ukraine Expands Gains in Dnipropetrovsk Ukrainian forces have liberated Stepove and Kalynivske in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Heavy fighting is still raging in Novohryhorivka and Novomykhailivka, where control remains contested. Momentum is building, but the battle isn’t over yet.

@VatnikTamer @GoodFellaBoiBoi He just wants to know that his next meal is coming on time.
