@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Most Americans don’t trust Putin. They definitely wouldn’t travel there like they do Europe. I think they really don’t understand Ukraine and much Ukrainians and Russians are different.

🇺🇸🇺🇦👀 We must admit that some Americans believe that for us the price of peace is not so high - to leave our territories, - Zelensky
"They do not want to admit that Putin will lie to them and continue the occupation even after such steps. I think this is the biggest problem: we do not trust Putin, but they do."

@whitesundesert @peterktodd The political right in the US are sheep that follow the cult leader (provided they are America first )

It will never cease to amaze me how huge swathes of the western political right who speak with fury about their homeland disappearing saw Ukrainians and thought "They're dying pointlessly on the orders of grifters, why don't they surrender to foreign rule?"

@greggnunziata @highbrow_nobrow @SpeakerJohnson For someone who wraps themselves in Christianity , Johnson is an experienced fabricator. And the flock does mind.
English
There are a lot of bad actors on the political scene, in both parties, but @SpeakerJohnson deserves special criticism. It's hard to think of a person who has so completely abdicated a crucial role, while spewing constant, corrosive, untruths.

@NOELreports What is there to secure if Iran has rights to apply tolls? Confront Trump with truth. He just wants to let Europe carry the endless war on its back .

❗️NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says the alliance is ready to support efforts to secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. He also stated that Ukraine’s NATO membership is unlikely to be resolved in the near term, casting doubt on rapid accession prospects. #NATO

@AdamKinzinger @FoxNews How can one man have so much power?Trump does have his smarts moulding the GOP into one of his appendages. Don’t think the founders considered that Congress would be so spineless.
English
I wonder what MAGA would say if the Obama Iran deal let them charge tolls to the tune of $90 billion a year on a waterway they don’t own?
I mean we all know but still…. Worth asking.
@FoxNews went crazy when he wore a tan suit

@ZelenskyyUa 💯 it’s a ridiculous and laughable ask by Russia and US ( who are partners thinking they can get weak Ukraine to give in). Russia will always want more.

We cannot simply speak about withdrawing from Donbas as a matter of compromise. Our withdrawal from Donbas would open up opportunities for the Russian Federation to occupy our most fortified territories without losses.
Some people say it would take a year to a year and a half to build new fortifications. But everyone forgets: first and foremost, that is a year and a half. And even if it were less, fortifications in an open field are a completely different matter from those in urban areas. They can never provide equally strong protection.
A withdrawal would give the Russian Federation room for large-scale maneuver. They could advance either toward Kharkiv or toward Dnipro, destroying our cities. And two major cities would be at risk – cities that, incidentally, generate a significant share of our GDP.
So many people have died there… The morale of our army would certainly decline. There would undoubtedly be a rift in society. The army – which would surely not support such steps – on one side, and society on the other. And division within society is precisely what Putin is aiming for.
Moreover, there are currently 200,000 people living in the territories of Donbas that we are defending. Withdrawal does not mean preserving anything. You leave, and without any guarantees, you risk losing everything. And that is a major risk.

@igorsushko @garside_geoff So if Baltics or Poland start a fight with Russia, is the US obliged to help them when Russia counter attacks?
English
@garside_geoff This isn't about any obligations. Any European country could've unilaterally chosen to help the United States. Or did Europeans cede their sovereignty to this imaginary NATO, that's been dead for over a year?
Ukraine *immediately* sent help to the Middle East to protect US bases.
English
You can whine and complain all you want, but this statement is completely true.
The US has been the security guarantor of Europe. When the US asked Europe to help in a war against Islamists intent on developing nukes to destroy all non-Muslims in the world, Europe refused.
English
@mehdirhasan Agreed both illegally attacked, but why would you expect Ukraine to back a country that helped/ is helping kill its citizens? There is no love loss.
English
Facts don't care about your feelings. Iran and Ukraine were both illegally attacked. Those are the facts.

This is an absolutely wild tweet

This morning, I asked President Trump if he’s okay with the Iranians charging a toll for all ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz, he told me there may be a Joint US-Iran venture to charge tolls:
“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”
“It’s a beautiful thing”
English
@mehdirhasan You also forget that the longer the strait is closed, the longer oil prices remain high. Ukraine desperately needs low prices. Higher oil prices tremendously high Russia fund their brutal attacks on Ukraine and its people.
English
It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country. It completely kills your credibility.
Right now. Iran is Ukraine. You may not like to hear that but that is a fact
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.
English
The President’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” cannot be excused away as an attempt to gain leverage in negotiations with Iran.
This type of rhetoric is an affront to the ideals our nation has sought to uphold and promote around the world for nearly 250 years. It undermines our long-standing role as a global beacon of freedom and directly endangers Americans both abroad and at home.
The oppressive, terror-spreading regime of the Islamic Republic must be distinguished from the people and the civilization of Iran. Everyone involved—especially the President and Iran’s leaders—must de-escalate their unprecedented saber-rattling before it is too late.

@TrentTelenko Definitely. Disrupt logistics into occupied Ukraine !

Imagine an American Vice President supporting a pro-Kremlin government anywhere. At any time.
I wouldn't use the word pathetic, it's treasonous. Particularly when the Kremlin is helping Iran kill US military personnel.

Imagine an American vice-president traveling to Budapest in 1956 to support a pro-Kremlin government. That’s how pathetic the current U.S. government is.

Khanna on Hasan Piker: "What should the standard of the Democrats be? Should we not go on Joe Rogan? Should we just have purity tests of canceling folks? The lesson of the last election is we've gotta be out there. We've gotta engage. It's a complex, messy, multiracial democracy. I will defend my views, but the people who are saying 'don't engage' will cost us future elections."

@KyivIndependent Maybe these same countries should ask the US to cease and desist. This would bring down oil prices. Why does Ukraine need to bear sole responsibility for reducing oil prices?

@PhillipsPOBrien The Trump family&friends corruption pales anything from Hunter Biden outrage. Yet Congress is silent.

Indeed, and the shocking thing is that the US Government is now so corrupt that people just shrug their shoulders and pretend it’s not happening.

@LouiseMensch @KASHPatel @TulsiGabbard @PeteHegseth It will be interesting to hear what the King has to say about this gigantic mess. It’s a good test of his backbone.
English
Oh and @KashPatel and @TulsiGabbard too. Trump knows he's lost the midterms and wants to be able to confirm handpicked replacements so you can expect several losers to be tossed straight into the trash. Firing @PeteHegseth before the King's State Dinner is likely.

Pete Hegseth, @SecWar, @PeteHegseth, is getting fired after this war with Iran that went wrong because no Stage Four plan. Tulsi Gabbard too, unless that firing comes earlier.
