@RodDMartin @SB30Bio @Kasparov63 The NATO intervention in LIbya was authorized by UN Security Council Resolution 1973. The action in Serbia was necessary to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo. The Independent International Commission deemed it "illegal but legitimate."

@PhilipGrayBooks @SB30Bio @Kasparov63 Their wars against Serbia and Libya were illegal, but you didn't care about that, and you didn't care that we helped them.

Note the underlying stupidity behind these threats. US bases and troops around the world are there for US global force projection, not to protect Spain or Italy or whatever he thinks. America’s enemies would love it if he picked up his toys and went home.

@SB30Bio @Kasparov63 They declined to let bases be used for an illegal attack on Iran, because they care about international law (law that kept the Strait of Hormuz open until now). They have never blocked use in legit operations. They don't hate America. They don't care for Trump. Not the same.

@Kasparov63 That’s true, but Italy and Spain won’t let us use the bases, so there’s no point in having any association with them. Europeans deeply hate Americans and want us gone anyway.

@McFaul He'll be given a key to the ballroom...

Deny Ukraine membership in NATO, cut aid to Ukraine, promise Putin Donbas, praise Putin after he helps Iran, and now consider pulling troops out of Germany. How many gifts can Trump give Putin?

@BohuslavskaKate Absolutely right. The shunning of Ukraine and the accommodation of Putin's Russia has done more to blacken America's name than any single act of US foreign policy since Vietnam.

REP. ADAM SMITH: We roll out red carpet for Putin, we belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in White House — he has no cards, right? Well, year after that, it looks like Zelenskyy had couple of cards to play because Ukraine is actually winning against Russia. Ukraine, a sovereign democracy standing up against a brutal, oppressive, coercive dictatorship. And we can't even bring ourselves on consistent basis to say we are with Ukraine, we are against what Putin is doing, and we stand up and support Ukraine.

@BohuslavskaKate In Europe, we are all Ukrainians now. Not before time.

FRANCIS: Ukraine decided to absolutely ravage Russia’s oil export industry using its own long-range weapons. The best way to defeat Russia is to bankrupt it, and Ukrainians are onto this strategy. The price per barrel has risen, but the number of barrels Russia can actually ship has gone down by about 50%. As a result, there’s no real windfall for Moscow. Ukraine destroyed roughly half of Russia’s export capacity. This destruction is continuing, and Russians appear unable to stop it with their air defenses.

youtu.be/MlUPNIPERgw?si… Ukraine is calling a spade a spade. Europe and the other western allies are not far behind. A year of stroking Trump's ego got them nothing.

@McFaul Nobody.

Who believes the White House argument that Iran was getting ready to attack our soldiers and bases in the Middle East and so we had to preemptively attack?

@jmbprime Russia is a kleptocracy married to authoritarian dictatorship. Communism has long been abandoned, even as a distant ideal.

President Trump chooses Communist Russia over Democratic Ukraine./ The man who heads the strongest country in the world is supporting Communism over Democracy. Why?

@DougWahl1 I'm surprised no US newspaper broke the story. That US broadcast media did not doesn't surprise me at all.

Who is ashamed that it took a journalism outfit from the other side of the Atlantic to break the insider trading story? Is American journalism dead? Your Thoughts?

@TheFungi669 That told him. 🤦‍♂️

Reporter: “Ms. Leavitt, does President Trump worry that people think he’s a narcissist?” Leavitt: “President Trump doesn’t have time to worry about people thinking he’s a narcissist. He’s too busy thinking about himself.”

@_MAGA_NEWS_ @JohnCleese She is right.

WATCH: In a bombshell statement, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has openly declared that "supporting Ukraine is not only a moral duty but also a strategic necessity, because at stake is not only the dignity, freedom, and independence of Kyiv but also the security of Europe."

@7Veritas4 @ImBreckWorsham Which, if Trump has anything to do with it, will be few. (Because nobody should enjoy life if he can't).

Trump isn’t pretending to be crazy. Trump really is crazy. One day soon he’ll have nobody left to stop him from doing the unthinkable. And then everyone who defended him, lied for him, refused to see what he truly is, can carry it with them for the rest of their miserable days.

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson: Trump tried to used nuclear codes against Iran during White House “emergency meeting” on Saturday. Trump was halted by Air Force General Dan Cain who used military privilege to stop him.

@RonFilipkowski @2catsanddog No, 24 wars because the wars had countries on both sides. So when you think about it...🤔

So if Trump says the Iran War is over 12 different times does that count as Trump ending 12 wars?

@BohuslavskaKate Expect and believe? Good luck with that while Trump is President.

STOLTENBERG: My country, Norway, borders Russia. Just on other side of our land border, we see highest concentration of nuclear weapons in the world: missiles, submarines, bombers. These weapons are not directed at Norway — they're directed at United States. Yet Norway helps United States monitor and track those submarines, share intelligence, provide early warning, and report precisely what Russians are doing. This is part of America’s homeland defense, delivered by a NATO ally. And there are many other similar examples. So United States is safer with a strong NATO. That is why I expect and believe the United States will remain committed to the Alliance.

@RpsAgainstTrump The US is part of NATO and holds the top jobs. Trump is just mad the other members didn't do what they were told, like vassels are supposed to.

Trump: I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY…They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!

@DWPippy It died.

What ever happened to the Republican health care plan?

@Bbmorg Yes, median income is a far better measure. And that's before you count things like life expectancy, educational attainment and crime rates, where the UK would top every state in the union.

It’s nonsense to say that UK folks are poorer than Mississippi folks, Americas poorest state. They try this using the GDP of both places and divide amongst the population as if it was equally shared out and in Mississippi most folks get a lot less of that pie than the richest.

@jamiedupree @aravosis India and much of Africa will face famine later this year of supplies of fertilizer are not restored soon. The bankruptcy of US farmers will be a minor tragedy next to mass starvation.

Farmers voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. The Farm Bureau reports today that farmers can't afford to buy the fertilizer needed for this year's crops.

@peterbakernyt @fred_guttenberg Revived the debate? The debate was over a while ago. He's madder than a box of frogs. 🐸🐸🐸

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/…

@MikeNellis That is quite a high bar insane-lie-wise.

Trump says the meme doesn’t depict him as Jesus, just a Red Cross worker tending to the sick. One of the most insane lies he’s ever told.
