So much for Trump and Putler!
In 48 hours, Zelensky has signed ten-year defense agreements in three Persian Gulf capitals, with more industrial partnership contracts on the table, and he has sent 200 air defense experts.
Just a reminder: in just a year, Ukraine has gone from a "country without papers" to a protective weapons exporter and security expert, turned to by the world's richest countries. ✊🇺🇦
1. UK assisted via their Cyprus airbase – which was then bombed!
2. No one asked the USA and Israel to go to Iran, but, through Trump's petty, feeble mind, led by Netanyahu, he has disrupted the energy needs for the rest of the world.
3. Any country with other options will refuse to purchase from the USA.
4. USA/Israel v Iran is not a NATO war, and you hate NATO anyway, so why should they assist you? You're getting your ass kicked, by the way!
5. Donald Trump is the #1 instigator of the next global economic crisis!
President Trump will go down in infamy as the worst world leader EVER!

Trump is a Russian traitor - I just can't believe that people actually voted for him twice!
He's inept, he can't speak properly, he shits himself while cheating on the golf course, he has verbal diarrhoe to match his shitty arse, and falls asleep in meetings (unless it's with another dictator leader).
He doesn't belong in America, and unfortunately he doesn't seem to care for America or Americans.
The USA is going to pay a huge price for their choice!
BREAKING: Russia shared satellite images of Prince Sultan US base in Saudi with Iran right before their attack that injured our troops. Ukrainian intel confirms it.
Meanwhile Trump refuse to condemn Russia.
Is this what you voted for?
What the hell message are you trying to send?
Ukrainians are passionate about their country and their history. They hate the Russians with a passion, for good reason - and they will do everything to protect them.
Part of the reason that Zelenskyy has had to step up to make those deals with the Middle East is because the USA are looking to delay their weapons that have been ordered and paid for thanks to the allies (minus the USA). And Stupid Trump likes to tell everyone that they don't even get a discount!!
ps. He was an actor, one of the top paid actors in Russia for many years, but he also owns TV studios in Ukraine - also for many years. He is a professional, and successful businessman, and he's one of the most inspiring leaders the world has seen for a long time!
Too bad that Zelensky is not able to stop these drones from exploding all over Ukraine. Maybe these experts should stay in Ukraine and protect the people living in Ukrainian? Oh wait, his former acting agency now turned drone producer can probably make a de million extra by exporting any serious defensive weapons instead of using them to protect Ukraine… why? Because Ukraine probably can’t pay for them anymore.
@shanaka86 Absolutely delighted for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. After the shit Donald Trump, Vance and co. put him, a Sovereign leader through.
The Middle East will definitely show him far more respect - and it is much deserved.
A Patriot missile costs four million dollars. A Ukrainian Sting interceptor drone costs two thousand. Both destroy the same Shahed kamikaze drone. One of them can be manufactured at a rate of 10,000 units per month. The other cannot. And the country that invented the cheap one is now training Saudi, Emirati, and Qatari operators to use it against the exact same Iranian drones it was designed to kill in Ukrainian skies.
Ukraine spent three years learning how to destroy Shaheds. Not with expensive air defence systems designed for Cold War scenarios but with small, fast, AI-assisted quadcopters that chase them down at 280 to 450 kilometres per hour, lock on with thermal imaging and computer vision, and ram them out of the sky or detonate a proximity charge at close range. The Sting, built by a volunteer unit called Wild Hornets, has destroyed over 3,000 Shaheds since May 2025. The Bullet, produced by SkyFall and General Cherry, reaches 450 kilometres per hour with AI-assisted terminal guidance. The success rate in Kyiv’s high-threat corridor reached 70 to 90 percent in February 2026, according to Ukrainian Air Force Commander Syrskyi.
The mechanism is elegant. Sensors detect an incoming Shahed. An interceptor launches. A pilot wearing FPV goggles tracks the target using thermal imaging while AI handles detection, lock-on, and terminal-phase precision. The interceptor closes the speed gap at double or triple the Shahed’s velocity and destroys it through kinetic impact or proximity detonation. The pilot retains final manual control for jamming resistance. The entire engagement costs less than dinner for two in Dubai.
Now Zelensky has turned this battlefield necessity into a geopolitical asset. Under defence pacts signed in March 2026, Ukrainian training teams are actively working with Gulf state militaries on co-production, operator training, and AI guidance module integration. The same drones that protect Kyiv from Russian Shaheds will protect Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Doha from Iranian ones. The technology is identical because the threat is identical: Iran manufactures the Shahed, Russia deploys it against Ukraine, and Iran deploys it against the Gulf. The supply chain of the weapon created the supply chain of the countermeasure.
A country fighting for its survival against Russia is simultaneously becoming the Gulf’s primary anti-drone technology supplier during a war between the Gulf and Iran. Ukraine is broke, surrounded, and losing territory. It is also the only country on earth with three years of operational data on destroying Iranian kamikaze drones at scale. That data is worth more to Saudi Arabia right now than any weapons system America can sell, because America has never fought a sustained Shahed campaign. Ukraine has fought one every night for a thousand consecutive nights.
Zelensky offered Russia an energy ceasefire. He offered sea drones for Hormuz. And he is selling drone-killing technology to the countries whose oil infrastructure those same drones are threatening. Ukraine is converting its most painful vulnerability, the nightly Shahed bombardment, into a revenue stream, a diplomatic lever, and a security partnership that binds Gulf states to Kyiv’s survival in ways no UN resolution ever could.
The molecule meets the machine. The drone that threatens the refinery is destroyed by the drone that learned to kill it over Kyiv. The war that created the threat created the countermeasure. And the country nobody expected to matter in the Gulf is suddenly indispensable to it.
Watch the intercept below. This is what a $2,000 drone killing a Shahed at 300 km/h looks like in real time.

If Orban wins; he will continue to block Ukraine's agreed loan - essential for their continued Sovereignty. So what can be done?
According to @EU_Made_Simple , there are 5 options. The video provides lots more detail, but I'm up for any oif them to be fair. You can't have Pro-Russian leaders in the EU - so Expulsion may be required! Although Trump probably wouldn't agree!

I find it amusing how every American refers to the Constitution
- it's the Constitution
- it's in the Constitution
- It can't be changed.
Then something is inconvenient?
- Let's change the law, and make sure this can't happen again - but let's do it before the other party get enough votes to block it for us!!!
Bunch of bloody hypocrites
This was 12 years ago, before Rubio got involved with Donald Trump.
Marco Rubio was a proper politician then. He spoke truthfully and clearly, and he presented as an ethical and trustworthy leader.
What a difference a single main point of contact can make!
Be careful who you mix with!!
🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement.
That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.
Only if you have no idea what you're talking about!!!!
America has caused so much harm, and hatred around the world, yet still you vote for imbecillic, narcistic fools who want a Peace Price, and when it doesn't come, decide to invade and bomb yet another country?
Nato is all about defence - the only time it was used was when all of Europe - including Ukraine - came out to fight for, and support American soldiers in Afghanistan - I personally lost 14 Scottish marine friends - so think about what you're talking about rather than just spouting America First.
Trump, your leader has created a new shithole - and it's called The United States of America!
Classic Russian propoganda:
This time relating to the huge smoke clouds that have formed over 1000km long, and are travelling slowly over St Petersburg and Leningrad region.
I know that Russia like to overwrite history to their convenience, but now that they've blocked Telegram, WhatsApp and the internet all together, I guess they feel free to do whatever they want.
I've been to museums and also have family generations back who had pictures of people starving - russian soldiers forcing Ukrainians to gather wheat and crops - and then loading it onto trains - then the train and the soldiers headed back to Russia.
Russia hate to admit to their awful history of violence and aggression over poor people and citizens. So Russia like to re-write history - much as they are doing just now - saying that Ukraine attacked them, and that Ukraine was a part of Russia. All lies, all fabricated history.
The good thing about history, there are always other sources that will give the true information.
@C22Jacqui@HungaryBased Вранье про голод, устроенный русскими, давно разоблачено. Есть открытые источники, кто именно забирал зерно у крестьян, и это были…. Сюрприз! Местные власти, состоявшие в основном из украинцев и евреев. В это же время голодали и в России и в Казахстане.
🚨SHOCKNG:
🇷🇺 Putin DECLARES the EU is the only party that wants to continue the War:
"Europe's only goal is to prevent US President Trump from achieving peace through negotiations."
The AI picture is not convincing at all. Yes, some windfarm nacelles have exploded in the past - particularly in very windy places when the speed was too much, which is why they all now have automatic controls so they don't move if the wind is above a certain speed, or if it below a certain speed.
Seeing this thing burn, releasing this really dense, pungent and very black poisonous looking particulate smoke, lends real creadance to the critics green questionnaire, just how much fossil and synthetic petroleum and chemical compounds is used to manufacture just one of these monstrosities. Exactly what goes into them that once used they are buried and not recycled..
@nigella_i5e This is not Scotland, this is Spain. Scotland do have some onshore, but not quite as large - they tend to more offshore which are far cleaner in terms of construction, and better in terms of delivery from sea-winds.
Ask my friends? If you mean my Ukrainian friends, they all blame Putin and Russia - they also have many memories of historic events that devastated and killed many millions of Ukrainians in order for Russia to eat.
Perhaps that's the kind of question we should be asking?
What might lead Putin to believe that they would be open to being under Russian influence again?
They don't, and they certainly don't want Ukraine's future generations to ever have that experience.
Really? The world wasn't too worried with Biden as President, he was old, but he could act very well in a presidential manner, and it was just at the end of his tenure that he started slipping.
Trump, on the other hand, is mixing up his words, telling tall tales that he continues to exaggerate! He falls asleep during important meetings and forgets what he should be talking about - so picks up a Sharpie and creates a whole story.
Trump calls the armed services losers, and doesn't respect anyone who lost their life in service of their country.
Finally, Trump is obliterating America's reputation as a progressive, educated country. Now, it's a laughing stock around the world, and while he's been in his role, Mark Carney has managed to turn every bad decision that Trump is making, to a positive for Canada.
Canada are no longer counting on their neighbour to work with them, they're out there, creating collaborative contracts and plans with many other countries, and America is losing $billions of potential work or sales to a country that was your biggest importer.
Trump is a disaster.
@maddenifico First Question! Where were you and your opponents during the Biden Administration when they Destroyed America for Four Years! You’re a Talking Head and have Zero credibility, integrity and no Interest ! You have no Evidence! Get Lost!
Trump has Saved America and Corruption!
Message from Ebrahim Zolfakari to Trump about his lying and how he will lead the US army into the "swamp of death"... ...leading to humiliating death, dismemberment and disappearance...
Can we stop this war anytime soon please?

@KiaraAEverhart@MrPitbull07 In Scotland, deliveries still happen daily - when it's really busy, the milkman will deliver around 3am, but 5-6 is more normal. Milk, orange juice, yoghurts, cheeses.
Yeah I've heard it was that way in the 30s and 40s and stuff I think in the 50s it also was still doing it because the house I grew up in there's this little tiny hatch in the carport that I was little enough to crawl through if I locked myself out but my mother said that it was for milk delivery. I didn't understand that because obviously I didn't live in that time. But that's a thing yes.
My wife says this never happened. Does anyone else remember when milk came in glass bottles and the milkman would deliver it to your doorstep before sunrise? You’d leave the empties out for him to pick up!
