PRAXIS

No truer words were ever spoken.

Explain it to me like I'm 5: Cuba has significant natural wealth -- sugar, tobacco, nickel. American corporations extracted that wealth while ordinary Cubans lived in poverty. Cubans revolute and kick the U.S. out. The U.S. places a 67-year embargo on them, forcing them into deeper poverty.Then tightens it with a specific embargo on oil. Now threatens military action if Cuba doesn't let us back in "to help the Cuban people." If we want to help them, why don't we start by lifting the embargo?

@Clay4MainStreet Make up your mind. Are they democrats or communists?

The Democrat Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, once stood for maximum individual freedom in an agrarian republic. Today it pushes socialism and endless government control. How far they have fallen. Democrats have turned into total communists.

@IN7225857062639 @JamieMetzl The documents have already been posted in this conversation. Stop being a slave of the west, find the document, read the document, and learn something.

@LaborIsPower @JamieMetzl Покажи документ де є обіцянки НАТО не розширюватись на Схід? А пока ти звичайне брехло!

After Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in 1994, the United States, Britain, and Russia pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders under the Budapest Memorandum. Russia violated that commitment. Providing Ukraine with long-range hypersonic missiles is not charity. It is part of our moral and strategic obligation to uphold the commitments that persuaded Ukraine to disarm in the first place.

@msiguc @MrsPatmore2022 @JamieMetzl They open in my browser as well.

@MrsPatmore2022 @LaborIsPower @JamieMetzl There's something wrong with your browser, etc. Every link I tried opens well on mine.

@andrii_sybiha This is one of those accusations are confessions posts, isn't it?

Putin wanted to show “strength” but only confirmed his weakness. Overnight, Russia carried out one of the largest terrorist attacks on Kyiv with around 600 drones, many dozens of ballistic, air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, and a dummy IRBM. Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions were also under attack. As of now, at least two civilian people have been reported killed and many dozens injured. These numbers may grow. Many residential buildings have been damaged. Unable to achieve any results on the battlefield, Putin turns to terror against civilians. This strike was probably meant to demonstrate “strength” to the domestic audience, but instead it only confirms Putin’s weakness. Even Russians see that he is a loser. His “special operation” is not achieving any results. Losses are enormous, but there is not a single achieved goal. Except that there are no safe places in Russia any more, as Ukraine ramps up its special long-range sanctions. To our allies, I want to say this: it is time to double down, not back down, in supporting Ukraine and increasing pressure on the Russian regime. We call for additional defense capabilities, including to protect our sky; investment in our defense industry; increased pressure on Russia, including entry ban for Russian combatants, full use of frozen assets; strong political decisions with regard to Ukraine’s EU accession and other steps. The world has the leverage. It needs to be used right — to show Moscow that such strikes will not bring any results — and force Russia to end this war.

@wolf_blazzing @JamieMetzl He probably shouldn't have, but at the time he felt he had no choice in order to prevent Russia from being politically and economically isolated.

@LaborIsPower @JamieMetzl And so maybe he maybe shiuld not have signed the agreement then.

@wolf_blazzing @JamieMetzl I did, and they didn't. Read Yeltsin's statement regarding the signing of that document which was done under force. He even called it a 'forced step.' Anyone who thinks Russia was just fine with eastern expansion of nato hasn't done enough reading.

@LaborIsPower @JamieMetzl They never did. Read the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act where russia agreed that eastern Europe countries can join nato

@maria_avdv Security expert my ass. All I'm hearing is the same propaganda that all the other slaves of western hegemony are repeating. You offer nothing of relevance.

Hellish night in Kyiv. Didn’t know if I’d wake up. When there’s nothing on the battlefield, Russia wages war on market stalls and apartment blocks, murdering people in their sleep.

@Kasparov63 How do stupid people become chess champions??

A reminder that Russia is waging a terrorist war on Ukraine, and a reminder that standing by and watching are the richest nations on Earth, controlling the most powerful military alliance in history, an alliance created specifically to stop Russia in Europe. Sickening.

@McFaul Which means Ukraine is as well based on the criteria you present here.

@FineGaelBrux But regarding the killing of school kids in Russia by Ukraine your response is 'fuck yeah.' Do we have that right?

Russia’s deliberate targeting of civilians is a war crime and must not go unpunished. Putin is desperate as he incredibly realises he has lost his war after his illegal invasion of Ukraine

@BasedMikeLee The stupidity tour continues! Marxism hasn't been the driving force of the economy the last 50 years, dumbass. That would be capitalism. So if anything's to blame for this, guess what that would be.

Marxism did this To America

@tedcruz Demonstrating your complete lack of an education again?

A communist and a Nazi campaigned together…. This is today’s Democrat party.

@MrsPatmore2022 @JamieMetzl Read a book sometime.

@LaborIsPower @JamieMetzl NATO never promised such nonsense

There is a metric shit ton of replies under this post who actually believe what this uneducated fraudster has to say. Sorry for the bad news, but America already appears to be conquered by the galactically stupid.

@BasedMikeLee No one can be this hopelessly ignorant....right? Did he even get through middle school?? How embarrassing this must be.

Leftists accept Nazis Because Nazis are socialists

@McFaul That's some analysis. Is this amateur hour? 🤣

Putin is losing on the battlefield so out of desperation, he has to resort to increasing terrorism against civilians. It won’t work. Stay strong Ukrainians. Stay resilient. Slava Ukraini!

@MariaStenergard This doesn't say much about a European education. Russian forces are exactly where Putin said they would be at the beginning of the operation: protecting ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk. You need to pay closer attention to details.

Russia is getting nowhere on the battlefield. So it terrorises civilians with one of its most indiscriminate attacks yet, and turns to intimidation launching an intermediate-range ballistic missile. Next week, EU foreign ministers will meet to discuss how we increase the pressure on Russia further.

@BarryAndrewsMEP That's called the 'find out' phase.

Putin is still bombing European cities

@andrii_sybiha Retaliation is a bitch.

I instructed all our missions to international organizations to make full use of the multilateral toolbox in response to last night’s barbaric Russian missile attack on Kyiv. UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, and UNESCO should provide an adequate and strong response to the aggressor, which is attempting to compensate for the lack of military advances on the battlefield with terror against civilians. We immediately request an urgent UN Security Council meeting and a joint meeting of OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation and OSCE Permanent Council. Putin is trying to intimidate Ukraine by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings, museums, schools, and critical infrastructure. He is also trying to intimidate the world by launching IRBMs against peaceful cities. All of this requires strong and coordinated action by the international community. We urge our partners to resolute multilateral actions aimed at deterring Russia and compelling it toward a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace.
