@igorsushko United armies makes sense but there is serious downside at the moment. This would ligitimize Russian shaheed/missile attack on Baltic states immediately. With 100 drones per country Russia could disable those countries momentarely. That would slow support to Ukraine mighty.

🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇺🇦 Many of our Baltic friends appear to have misunderstood my words, possibly letting their very justified fear of Russia cloud their judgment. This has been my position for over a year. Allow me to make it crystal clear: For their own security, the Baltics must form a mutual defense alliance with Ukraine. The Baltics are the chief beneficiary of such an alliance, not Ukraine. Putin will think twice about invading if he knows Russians will have to face the same battle-hardened Ukrainians with housewife kitchen drones in the Baltics. I believe Ukraine will be willing to do this if the Balts send a battalion each to Ukraine. 1) Baltic states are vulnerable to a Russian invasion. Only about 60,000 untested active duty troops. No air force. Very small population. No capability to counter 1,000 drones-per-day sustained attacks. Russia currently loses in Ukraine the equivalent of the entire Baltic military force every 1.5-2 months. 2) European NATO capabilities and response to a hypothetical invasion of the Baltics are unclear. Europeans don't have sufficient munitions for sustained war beyond a couple of weeks anyway. 3) US is unlikely to come to the defense of the Baltic states. 4) Sending a few Baltic battalions to Ukraine could obligate Ukraine to send troops to the Baltics as part of such an alliance. Can be done on a rotational basis now, even just as rotational R&R deployments for Ukrainian troops needing rest from frontline duty. Permanent Ukrainian troop presence in the Baltics is THE deterrent against Russia. On the other hand, 1,000-1,500 Baltic troops in Ukraine is not going to turn the tide of war against Russia. This is why the Baltics will probably benefit much more than Ukraine from the alliance. 5) Russia invades countries it deems to be weak, to extract resources through occupation. The Baltics are weak without obligated Ukrainian defense. 6) A Baltic-Ukrainian alliance will reduce the risk of invasion by Russia, not increase it. 7) Such an alliance does not conflict with NATO membership. Baltic states are sovereign and have the legal right to join any other military alliances. 8) NATO Article 5 is not relevant. Russians fighting Balts in Ukraine is not an attack on the Baltics. Balts fighting Russians in Ukraine is not an attack on Russia. 9) Whether or not you believe NATO will actually defend the Baltics in case of a Russian attack (I don't), a Baltic-Ukrainian alliance only helps strengthen the Baltic states militarily. 10) 1,000-1,500 Baltic troops in Ukraine fighting Russians will not increase the chance of a Russian attack on the Baltics. Russia won't care about such a minuscule force. Militarily, it's insignificant. Russia loses that many soldiers every day. The only caveat here is whether Ukraine would agree to such a military alliance, as Ukraine stands to benefit significantly less than the Baltic states. I believe Ukraine will agree. ✊ I hope everyone can see that I'm spending my time and energy genuinely trying to help strengthen Baltic security contrary to various recent accusations against me by some Balts.

@igorsushko Dude, one person, how unobjective can you be? I feel your stress, but you can be sure that everyone here to some degree understand we are the first under russian threat un Ukraine in our last defence line.

This highly-educated Latvian is convinced Russia will never invade his Baltic state so long as they "never allow our territory to pose a serious threat to Russia." We can retire the fairy tale of "Baltic states understand the Russian threat better than anyone."

@JPLindsley Fun fact, when Mascovites took Rus name Baltic tribes didn't accept it untill today. We officially don't call them RUSsians, their official name in LV is "Krievi" which is much closer to real name - Krivichi. The tribe that was living there before they took the RUS name.

Russia: Even the name is stolen, as the Finnish language reminds us. The whole Moscow mess—a miserable, thieving, violent charade. The Judas of nations. So who are the real Rus?

@BloodyRedBaron @MikeNew19512115 You can have bases again everywhere when you stop treating your allies as enemies and enemies like Russia as your allie.

@MikeNew19512115 We can have bases in Hungary and Italy.

Close down all US bases in Europe. Leave NATO. France, Spain and UK are no longer our allies.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Wooow, you have atracted some serious amount of russian bots. Orban seems to be very important to Putin.

🇭🇺👀 Orban is massively buying votes in Hungary's poorest regions. This is revealed in a large-scale investigation, "The Price of a Vote," jointly conducted by six independent Hungarian projects. Party representatives are traveling to villages and offering local residents $150-$170 per vote. Local mayors are promising firewood, medicine, part-time jobs, and transportation to the polls for the "right" vote, and threatening those who refuse. The campaign is reaching 600,000 voters (approximately 10% of the entire Hungarian electorate). Journalists collected info from 60 people from 14 different communities, including ordinary citizens, officials, and security forces.

@StateDept You didn't do shit. Biden did.

SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

@MykhailoRohoza If anyone knows anything than those are State Security Services people. They have some real info.

“I clearly understand that if the Russians come here a third time, it will not just be the end of our statehood, of Latvia as a country, of our sovereignty — it will be the end of Latvian ethnic identity… they will kill all of us.” These are the words of the head of Latvia’s State Security Service, Normunds Mežviets, spoken to the British publication The Telegraph in an article about how Russia is preparing for an invasion of the Baltic states — something that, incidentally, the German outlet Bild also recently reported on.

"We must attack Narva to destroy NATO and break Europe's will." Russian state TV is making no secret of Putin's plans. They're now openly claiming that Russia is planning to attack the town of Narva on the Russian-Estonian border. Russian state propaganda convinces Russians that Europe won't respond and this attack will help them win. The Russians said exactly the same thing before their invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Back then, we didn't believe it was serious. Now, there's no doubt that Putin will attack Europe.

@mm1806071 @MOSSADil Has someone explained to him that is not a flute?

@MOSSADil You will regret messing with him.

🚨 A Reminder About Iran’s New Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei In this war, the Khamenei dynasty has taken heavy losses: • His father, Ali Khamenei, the man who ruled Iran with terror and repression • His mother • His wife, Zahra Haddad Adel • His son • His sister • His brother-in-law • Other relatives in the ruling family For decades this regime sent rockets, weapons, and terror across the Middle East while its leaders sat safely in Tehran. Now the war has reached their own house. No one should expect mercy or moderation from the son of that system. Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@BalazsOrban_HU Man, you are low. To spread easy to verify fake news out of pettiness. Orbans have to dissapear from EU.

‼️ We demand answers from Ukraine’s leadership! Photos show the so-called “Ukrainian gold convoy” operation. Hungarian authorities detained seven Ukrainian nationals — including a former intelligence general — who were transporting $40 million, €35 million and 9 kg of gold from Austria to Ukraine in two armored cash vehicles through Hungary. The Hungarian tax authority has launched a money-laundering investigation, and the individuals have been expelled from Hungary. What makes this even more alarming is that since January more than $900 million, €420 million and 146 kg of gold have reportedly been transported through Hungary toward Ukraine. Armored vehicles full of cash and gold moving across Hungary is not how legitimate financial transactions usually work. The real question is simple: who stands behind this money and what is it meant to finance? Hungarian authorities have launched a full investigation. Now those responsible must provide answers.

@JackAub42647787 @ZelenskyyUa Maybe you are worth to explain that if Z gives in than it will be complete genocide of Ukrainians that fall under Russian control. Our history is - when RU takes land 10s of thousands dissapear, families, inteligence. RU are too afraid of partizanship and sabotage. No surrender!

@ReinisBrigis @ZelenskyyUa I care about Ukrainian young lives not being killed over Z not seeking peace

Command post of the 81st Separate Airmobile Slobozhanska Brigade. The warriors are currently defending Slovyansk from the north – the Yampil and Siversk directions. I spoke with the defenders and presented them with state awards. I thank the fighters for their service. The brigade commander also delivered a briefing on the operational situation. I also held a meeting on the security situation in the Donetsk region with military officials and government representatives. The main topics included preparing the region for the next heating season, protecting critical infrastructure, road repairs along evacuation routes in the region, the operational situation in the Donetsk region, measures for the defense of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, and counter-sabotage activities in the region. We are working to strengthen our positions and support our people.

@JackAub42647787 @ZelenskyyUa "We" is room full of phones somewhere in China?

@ZelenskyyUa It’s clear you don’t want peace. We’ve lost patience with you and don’t care anymore.

@Iran_HD I like how they allways speak in the name of Iran like millions who live thear actually can't wait for Islam to finally go away. :))

@AnnaOdesitka I was sooo looking forward this post. Love from Latvia! Slava Ukraine!

Well guess what? Hardest part of war is over. We survived Kholodomor. Truly I can’t tell you horror of last few months. There were moments I think we are not going to be okay. But Spring is here🙏🏻😭. Not fully, but worst is over. It’s going to become warmer now. Of course I don’t think I will ever really be warm again. Most important is window for russian last attempt at final solution is gone. That was their only hope for finishing us off. Never forget for single moment they are all guilty. Don’t believe anything they say. They don’t know what truth is. They never learn such concept. They only know to lie.

@Bricktop_NAFO Applying 2000 years old society standarts that where written for humans that can't read, are on par with animals with instincts, don't know basically anything to educated societies that know how biology works on basic level is as short lived strategy as Charlie Kirk.

This is what happened when Charlie Kirk had a debate with someone with an education. Rather than debating American kids that were just starting college. A student from Oxford University in the UK destroying Charlie Kirk.

@arianajasmine__ Bullshit. Ordinary people killed on streets can not oppose evil dictatorship army without help.

Two things are true at once: 1.Khamenei was an oppressive dictator who subjugated the Iranian people (especially women). 2.The U.S. and Israel are not, and will never be, the liberators of any nation. Iranian people deserve the autonomy to overthrow their own regime on their own terms. Now their future will be shaped by the same global empire responsible for the massacre of millions of civilians in the region over the past couple of decades.

@MirMAKOfficial Loves Iranians so much that kills 40000 just lately, many of them in public executions. Tortures women for not wearing "right" clothes and wanting equal rights. Peoples man, right.

To All Those Who Asked Why IRGC Did Not Protect Ayatollah Khamenei. This the official response from his office. On the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei, his Representative said. “Ayatollah Khamenei was in his office and several times the security asked him to move from his office to another city, and he refused. He said if you could move 90 million Iranians to another city, I will move after that. They asked him, we will provide you with a basement to be safe for you but he said if you could provide and build a basement for all Iranians... He remained in his office, in his house, and in the morning, the aircraft of the Zionist regime and America attacked his office. He, his wife, his daughter-in-law and some of his nephew pass away..."

@visionergeo This one time he is absolutely right to strike Iran. Hezbollah, Hamas, terrorism across the globe has one funding and decision making center - Islamic state of Iran.

🇺🇸✈️🇮🇷 Trump on Iran: 📌 "We have a very important decision to make. It is not easy. They (the Iranians) have been maiming people for 47 years (tearing off hands, feet, disfiguring faces), blowing up ships, killing people, not only Americans. In the last 2-3 months during ongoing protest demonstrations, 32,000 have been killed. 📌 "They want to reach an agreement, but it must be an agreement that has real meaning." 📌 "I prefer everything to be resolved peacefully, but they are very tough and dangerous people."

@IRMilitaryMedia Yeah, Iranians want seperation of religion and state. For a long time. Like any state that isn't medievel.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

@TheReformRepub1 @Aku_700 @ljjthe2 Except victims coming forward. Except real investigations and arrests in Europe.

I pick based on facts and law. There are ZERO credible accusations that anybody in the Epstein orbit - other than Epstein and Maxwell - had sex with underage girls. ABSOLUTELY NONE. Just stop and think. Every scrap of what you call “The Epstein Files” was in the possession of the Biden Administration for four full years. Either Joe and Merrick are part of the conspiracy or the experienced FBI agents and prosecutors who dug into those scraps found they could not bring a case based on any of it. It’s one explanation or the other. There is no rational third option. And, NO, Justice was not prevented from using “The Epstein Files” while Ghislaine’s trial or appeals were pending. That’s ridiculous. And, NO, it is not true that nobody has suffered consequences. Trump1 and A.G. Barr pursued charges against Epstein and Maxwell, won indictments, and put both in jail. Biden didn’t do that. Obama didn’t do that. Trump did that.

Let me make this crystal fucking clear…. If Clinton abused young girls… - Prison If Bill Gates abused young girls… - Prison If Clarence Thomas abused young girls… - Prison If Donald Trump abused young girls… - Prison You either agree to all of these or none. If you pick based on politics… You Support Pedophiles, Not Kids.
