@AdamIsCrazy2 @dz_Abeer @rynkrynk It has nothing to do with xenophobia.

@dz_Abeer @rynkrynk No, that's xenophobia (state doesn't represent the will of the nation/culture) and it would be assuming that wars happen for no reason This whole "war is evil" thing needs to end. Not saying it's not true, just that it's unrealistic to oversimplify wars like that

If you think stupid mean Ukrainians are overreacting about Heated Rivalry, imagine HBO launching a cutesey show with an Israeli character, and the actor playing said Israeli character joking about how he’s from Palestine, Ohio, and therefore he’s ’as Israeli as you can be’.

@The_Untitl_Ed @DarthPutinKGB Only one aggressor here. Look up the definition of aggression.

@DarthPutinKGB I mean, west is about to do the same, so they ain't wrong in their statement. They both are aggressors

Church before & after russian values.

@TomorrowIfs @Maks_NAFO_FELLA No. Putin can keep making life tough for Ukrainians, but not enough to make surrendering an option.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Take out all the 750 stations and Ukraine will kneel

❗️Ukraine needs an energy truce. We are approaching a humanitarian catastrophe, - DTEK CEO in Davos. ▪️People have electricity for 3-4 hours, then 10-15 hours - a break; ▪️Ukraine is holding on thanks to gas imports, in particular from the USA. ▪️DTEK has lost 60-70% of its generating capacity and suffered losses of hundreds of $ million. ▪️The entire energy system of Ukraine needs to be rebuilt, in many cases, reconstruction of facilities will not help. Restoration will cost $ 65-70 billion.

@reivanen @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Russia will never agree to any peace deal. But you are probably correct in that this won't stop.

@AllenNext @Maks_NAFO_FELLA False! Russia started bombing Ukraine's civilian power grid in 2022. Ukraine's attacks on oil and gas infrastructure is the price to pay for that.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA There will be no ceasefire in Ukraine until there's a permanent peace agreement. Ukraine started attacking the Russian oil and gas infrastructure, and power stations. This is the price for that. No truce. No ceasefire.

@PennStateMafia @cone_sports11 @neolatyno @WarMonitor3 No ChatGPT (I've never even tried it). But you do you!

@MikkeMus8 @cone_sports11 @neolatyno @WarMonitor3 This is the most moronic chat gpt dumb response I've read today. Congrats

I would much prefer America has hegemony than any other nation. For all those in Europe calling for closer ties with China you are insane.

@THEMATTLASSEN @sentdefender @USAttyEssayli The 2nd Amendment EXPLICITLY gives states the right to use force to resist federal overreach. Whether that is workable at all is an open question (when the Amendment was formulated, there was no FBI, no ICE, no DEA, and no significant standing federal army).

@sentdefender @USAttyEssayli The second amendment (which you don't support, i've seen your anti-gun rants) protects the right of all civilians to own and bear arms. It does not protect you from the consequences of bearing arms against federal agents. Hope that helps.

If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don’t do it!

@FishHorn1 @ukraine_map @RpsAgainstTrump Watch the video. No gun was pulled.

@ukraine_map @RpsAgainstTrump He pulled a gun on law enforcement. Mind your own country.

The 37-year-old man shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis has been identified as Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and ICU nurse.

@BillyM28025424 @goneers @GuntherEagleman @terry42036 No. This is what the 2nd Amendment was meant for. That said, I think it will only escalate trouble (the 2nd Amendment isn't really workable when the Federal government has access to huge pools of manpower).

@goneers @GuntherEagleman @terry42036 If he does. He could add treason to his charges...

BREAKING: The Minnesota National Guard has confirmed "We are mobilizing as we talk this time" under Tim Walz's command. It's time for Trump to federalize and have them take control. There's more than enough evidence showing what's exactly going on in Minnesota.

@goneers @GuntherEagleman @terry42036 This is EXACTLY what the 2nd Amendment is intended for. I don't think it will work out, though...

@GuntherEagleman @terry42036 Will Walz deploy them against Federal agents?

@fmr_porto @Gerashchenko_en Nobody tried to kill Putin. Civilian energy infrastructure is a legitimate target when there is a military benefit. When you strike power infrastructure to make civilians freeze, that is a war crime. Very hard to prove, though.

@Gerashchenko_en "energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure"... How are the Russian energy facilities "military targets" and the Ukrainian energy facilities "civilian targets"? 🙄 And didn't you try to kill Putin last week, with the help of the CIA?

US Representative to the UN Tammy Bruce: Russia's action risks expanding and intensifying the war. We condemn Russia's continuing and intensifying attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure. These attacks make a mockery of the cause of peace, a cause of paramount importance to the world and to President Trump. I would like to remind the Russian Federation of its vote in favor of Security Council Resolution 2774 nearly one year ago. That resolution called for a swift end to the conflict and lasting peace. It would be nice if Russia matched their words with deeds.

@JBLLL16103271 @rshereme Ukraine was never poised to join NATO. Ukraine was constitutionally neutral until five years after Russia invaded. Ukraine never "accepted" neutrality. Ukraine CHOSE neutrality, and was happy with that until Russia brought war to the country.

@rshereme "History shows a simple rule: russia looks strongest when it controls Ukraine." Certainly true. Major factor in the current war. You should not have thought that Russia would just stand by idly while you joined NATO. They accepted neutrality, and you should have stuck with that.

Europe often sees Ukraine only as a victim. That is a dangerous oversimplification. Ukraine is a major military power in its own right. For the last two centuries, most so-called russian victories depended heavily on Ukraine. Against Napoleon Bonaparte, the Russian Empire relied on Ukrainian manpower, food supplies, horses, and Cossack cavalry. Against Adolf Hitler, millions of Ukrainians fought in the Red Army, while Ukrainian industry, agriculture, and territory were decisive for Soviet victory. The same pattern appeared in darker chapters of European history. The partition of Poland, the Warsaw Pact’s military threat, the war against Finland, and even the war in Afghanistan were all enabled by imperial armies that included massive Ukrainian participation. In the USSR, the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles were designed and manufactured in Ukraine and serviced by Ukrainians until 2014. Ukrainians made up roughly 40% of Soviet army officers in the 1980s. The world’s largest cargo aircraft was built in Ukraine. russia wants all of this back — and without Ukraine, its missiles now explode on roughly every second launch. Ukraine also possesses around 30% of the world’s black soil, the most fertile agricultural land on Earth — an enormous source of strategic leverage. In addition, Ukraine holds major mineral resources, including uranium, ranking among the top ten countries globally by uranium reserves. History shows a simple rule: russia looks strongest when it controls Ukraine. If russia absorbs Ukraine today, Europe will not face a tired or weakened aggressor. It will face the strongest and most experienced army on the continent — reinforced by Ukrainian manpower, battlefield experience, and industrial capacity. “Without Ukraine, russia ceases to be an empire. With Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, russia automatically becomes an empire.” — Zbigniew Brzezinski Ukraine can become the backbone of Europe’s defense against russia. Or, if left unsupported, it can be forcibly absorbed — and then brought to Europe’s doorstep. Supporting Ukraine is not charity. It is strategic self-defense. Author: Volodymyr Kukharenko

@jiteshagr @rshereme It's not. Nobody in Ukraine wants this, and they ARE welcome in the EU. Europe will support Ukraine to victory.

@rshereme Merging back with Russia is the best option for Ukraine as NATO has clearly said no to your membership wish, no to sending their soldiers best is to given some arms and ammunition to fight but that too will stop soon, they have treated like proxy and force you to give land.

@SorinIancu3 @mhmck Doesn't matter for whether Canada is the leader of the West. The US is no longer culturally a Western country.

@mhmck Canada is an economic dwarf with a GDP of $2 trillion. The U.S. is a giant with a GDP of $30 trillion. Carney must resign and his Islamist communist government must be removed. Canada must withdraw the recognition of the imaginary state of Palestine.

This week the United States – under the Russia-backed Trump regime – abandoned leadership of the West. Ukraine – the West’s only fighting defender against Russia – took the lead. Canada assumed leadership of the world’s advanced economies, showing a clear vision for the future.

@HungryforBTC @EuromaidanPR Europe is subsidising the US, not the other way around. US military isn't directed towards NATO.

At NATO exercises, Finns were asked to "throw the match" to U.S. troops During the latest Arctic exercises in Norway, an episode occurred that has now become the main meme in NATO headquarters. Finnish reservists, who were playing the role of the "enemy" according to the scenario, so easily and professionally crushed the American units that the command had to intervene. The exercise leaders officially asked the Finns to hold back and "stop beating the Americans," because the situation looked too humiliating and completely demoralized the U.S. soldiers.

@HungryforBTC @SwedishBalls55 @EuromaidanPR It's true. Germany and the US each pay for 16% of NATO's expenses. The US military spending is very high, but that isn't spent on NATO

@ThreeBluePeony @strbiak @POLITICOEurope The US is supported by Europe, not the other way around. Why do you think the US can spend more money than it earns...?

@strbiak @POLITICOEurope The US would like that, not having to support welfare states.

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni told her EU counterparts at a summit in Brussels yesterday that fighting Trump was a bad idea because Europe has everything to lose from a conflict with America, according to four people briefed on the leaders’ conversations. politico.eu/article/us-don…

@Cryptoculero @Microinteracti1 Cut off your nose to spite your face..

@Microinteracti1 The US should immediately cease all services to Europe... And let them figure it out on their own without continuing to use ours until they get theirs built...

🇪🇺 EU Parliament votes to cut dependence on US tech giants The European Parliament has backed a push to reduce Europe’s reliance on major US technology companies, approving a report that calls for stronger “digital sovereignty” and more homegrown infrastructure. The text urges the EU to prioritize European options in areas like cloud services, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, cybersecurity, and open source software, especially in public procurement. The vote passed by a large majority, with 471 in favour, 68 against, and 71 abstentions. The move reflects a wider worry in Europe that too much of its critical digital backbone sits with a few American providers, and could become a political or legal vulnerability in a crisis. US firms still dominate Europe’s cloud market, with a very large share of spending going to American companies, which is one reason lawmakers want more European capacity and clearer control over data and infrastructure. The Parliament’s vote is not a law by itself, but it increases pressure on the European Commission and member states to fund, buy, and build more European tech at scale. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@WadeWoski29 @Microinteracti1 Not a problem. Europe mostly has vastly cheaper public health service than the US, so it's not as expensive as you think.

@Microinteracti1 Unless the EU cuts into their Social Services there gonna have a tough time

@MarcAshRSN @secretsqrl123 ..delivered to Ukraine about now. But it must be combat tested and production scaled up.

@MarcAshRSN @secretsqrl123 Poland wants to have quite a few in reserve. There are production site being set up, but overall, all are subject to US restrictions. The only way to be Trump-proof is to have a European alternative. The new version of SAMP/T is supposed to be just that, and it's being ...

what im seeing... an imense change of moral on both the russian and AFU side.... it seems that the russians more and more are starting to just accept they are going to die at the front and there is just no mission any more.. AFU social media and reports are getting more upbeat and positive about the future.... for instance there is such a sports mentality of drone pilots keeping score and looking for more "points".
