Further easing of sanctions against Russia does not reflect the realities of the war or diplomacy, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said “It is important that Russian tankers are stopped, rather than allowed to deliver oil to ports,” he added 📹 Zelenskiy

NEW: Russian forces conducted four platoon-sized or smaller mechanized and motorized assaults across the theater in the last 48 hours, but these assaults are unlikely to bolster the ongoing Russian spring-summer 2026 offensive. Additional Key Takeawys: The Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) employed an unmanned surface vessel (USV)-launched interceptor drone to intercept a Russian Shahed long-range strike drone for the first time and are creating USF naval drone battalions. A Russian defense industrial enterprise director criticized how the Russian government’s adopted economic policies have overcooled the Russian economy to the detriment of Russia’s import substitution efforts. Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Kostyantynivka direction. Russian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast. Russian forces launched 236 drones against Ukraine. Ukrainian forces struck the Atlant Aero drone development and production plant in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast. (1/2)

European welfare systems are funded primarily by high domestic taxes and national insurance contributions—not US defence spending. US bases provide economic benefits to host economies (jobs, contracts), but social spending decisions are sovereign fiscal choices. Lower European defence budgets historically freed some fiscal space, but this is not a direct US "subsidy" for welfare. No official source as far as I'm aware links US NATO spending to "free" European social programs. Europe spends far more on social protection as % of GDP independently. taxpayer.net/national-secur… That's a good article that confirms some of your points above too. The Spain problem... reuters.com/world/europe/e… Again, Spain is not going against any NATO policy here, they're allowed to put their own sovereign interests first just like you are. Leaving the alliance because of diplomatic choices about armed conflict they are not compelled to engage with is a ridiculous notion. "After the Cold War, Europe cashed what economists call a 'peace dividend.' They cut defence spending by €1.8 trillion over three decades." yipinstitute.org/article/europe… Yes, but the USA was OK with this, as Europe needed decades to rebuild after the war and as Soviet occupation drained wealth from individuals and the economies respectively. Not sure about the amount but it sounds right. Your quote is: "Spain blocked our base. France blocked our flights. Italy and Germany shut their doors. And we're supposed to trust these allies to defend Greenland? Greenland. The most important island in the world for American security. Missile warning. Arctic chokepoint. 36 million tonnes of rare earths." No you can use the base you just can't use it for the conflict. Yes, because we have a joint task force for arctic operations that's much larger than the corresponding US force, we just haven't deployed it yet. We have about 120,000 troops trained in arctic warfare compared to your estimated 25,000. defence-blog.com/u-s-military-f… 19fortyfive.com/2026/02/nato-w… "But sure. Lets ignore their track record. They'll definitely secure the most important island on earth." Your track record is in the red, you drew down your military presence over the last couple of decades. You have permission to do the opposite, nobody said you can't. "Meanwhile Poland spent $3.6 billion of its own money building US facilities. 4.48% of GDP. No lectures. No blocked bases. Just an ally that shows up." "84% of Danes view the US unfavourably. These are not allies." You directly threatened their sovereignty. Come on now. You're really wondering why? "The US defense budget is $980 billion. 62% of all NATO member spending combined." NATO's common budgets is about $5 billion a year, just to be clear about not conflating the two, and the USA pays about 16% of it. "Our investment in the region accounts for roughly 25% of America's national debt. Your kids will inherit the bill. Long after NATO stops pretending to be useful." NATO is useful, the Iran crisis shows that failing to get a coalition outside of NATO matters almost as much as a coalition against a common enemy. But most importantly, NATO is more of a financial benefit to all, since standardisation of army streamlines procurement and stops defence companies from flashing proprietary ammunition in everyone's faces. If you fight with European allies, our ammunition is interchangeable, which streamlines wartime logistics to your troops. "Spain banned nukes from its soil. Scotland doesn't want them either." We have an independent nuclear deterrent launched by SSBN's, so gravity bombs aren't necessary to be stored (of all places) Scotland lol. Logistics are simpler down south. F35A's are being purchased by the UK to use them soon, but they will not operate in Scotland, but from RAF Marham in Norfolk, England. The gravity bombs I think will be stored at RAF Lakenheath since the B61-12 bombs were delivered to the base for the first time since 2008. RAF Marham hasn't stored UK nuclear bombs since 1998. "Russia outproduces all of NATO in ammunition four to one." Look at what that gets them against Ukraine, not even with another NATO country being involved. The nature and scale of warfare has changed, albeit you do raise a point that the MIC of Europe needs spooling up and is doing so. "14% of Italians say they'd fight for their country." During peacetime without a direct enemy that threatens their sovereignty? Good job Italian government! "Russia took Crimea in 2014. Europe's response? Get MORE dependent on Russian gas. Germany approved Nord Stream 2." Your response under Obama was essentially silence. Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia afterwards was conducted with European intervention, but Russia was not good natured enough to engage well. The EU gave billions in grants, loans and training programs, such as this one, where my country led the professional training program for over 20,000 Ukrainian soldiers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation… Other than that I condemn European refusal to send large shipments of arms to the newly formed independent GUR. "Then Russia invaded Ukraine. Europe panicked. Begged America for weapons. Cried about sovereignty and international law." We sent them entire inventories of weapons, equipment, artillery shells and aircraft. Within 72 hours of the invasion, we activated the EPF for the first time in history and committed half a billion in military assistance annually, and that was independent of any national decision. Trump is in the wrong here about Kyiv falling without US help. European packages of ammunition, AT, missiles and and as much soviet era gear as possible arrived FIRST. Within days, Germany U-turned and delivered Panzerfaust AT systems directly to Ukraine. Within 1 month, the EPF commitment had tripled and total EU military aid had reached over £60 billion by 2025, with total aid including military reaching about £150 billion. According to the Kiel Institute Ukraine Support Tracker, EU aid rose by 67% as US aid fell to basically 0. Never lecture us on spending or defence while the biggest war this continent has seen since WW2 is going on, and we're fully footing the bill. "Cried about sovereignty and international law." Condemning this invasion is like, the moral baseline dude. "They funded the enemy. Mocked the man who warned them. Then asked you to clean up the mess." The EU accounts for about 6% of Russia's total crude exports, and most of that is to Hungary and Slovakia who are receiving internal and external backlash for their lack of any energy mix. India and China represent about 85% of exports. You're hung up on a point that's economically irrelevant. We mock Trump because he's a walking meme, a lot of Europeans we're pointing out that despite his rudeness at the time to the Germans, he wasn't wrong. I can go on but your post is extremely long and it might be easier for me to just get into a call and debate because I combat misinformation daily.

The Resistance has destroyed $500,000 Substation Transformer! Operations to cut off electricity to Putin’s rear structures continue. Despite heightened Rosgvardiya protection of critical power infrastructure, a Resistance operative skillfully and audaciously carried out a sabotage mission, plunging several military installations in central Nizhny Novgorod into darkness. We targeted a key, yet vulnerable technical component of such units — the OLTC (On-Load Tap Changer) drive — rendering it completely inoperative. Without it, voltage regulation on the substation became impossible, triggering a full system failure. The blackout paralyzed the operations of military unit 3424 and local military enlistment offices, delivering yet another decisive blow to the confidence of Putin’s scum.

@svetdmtryev333 @AceTheCat21 Did you call me a ni**a??? Of course it does count. Look it up!

@aga1nstru @AceTheCat21 "not true" nigga look it up martial law doesnt count btw

#NAFO is more powerful in the information war than anyone will acknowledge

@svetdmtryev333 @AceTheCat21 Not true. And afaik it’s not even ru propaganda, more like a conspiracy myth 🤔

@aga1nstru @AceTheCat21 reminder: ukraine still has not declared a state of war as of 4 years into the SMO, therefore making such actions illegal

@florin_1980 @kajser27 @True_Georgian 🤔 And you’re laughing because…?

@aga1nstru @kajser27 @True_Georgian 🤣🤣🤣

Happening Now in Georgia! Day 493 of the Nonstop Protests! 🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests

@svetdmtryev333 @AceTheCat21 Kidnappers? Please check what the ТЦК is. Reminder: it’s war time in Ukraine.

@aga1nstru @AceTheCat21 you are sympathizing with the kidnappers?

@kajser27 @True_Georgian It’s not an experiment. Those people protest for freedom, for an honest government and proper rules of law. Would you give up? And the dictatorship does not ignore it. They keep on putting people to prison, beating them and charged them penalties. Didn’t make them give up 💪🇬🇪

@True_Georgian So basically a dictatorship just has to ignore the protests and that's it. It can remain a dictatorship indefinitely. Interesting experiment but the results are shitty :/

@svetdmtryev333 @AceTheCat21 I’m not denying it happen. That’s such a sad story. Why do you celebrate such events? And are you not shocked by news like this? newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/telegram-… Also happend in Lviv. russia made whole Ukraine patriotic. And wtf do you know about this city? #славаУкраїні

@aga1nstru @AceTheCat21 so much so russian propaganda that ukrainians are slicing the necks of tcc officers in lwow (one of the more lets say "patriotic" parts of the country)

This is amazing 💪🇬🇪

"Ukraine is saving Europe, while Europe sleeps!" "Ukraine is the only country that is fulfilling NATO's destiny. And we owe them everything." @Kasparov63 , world chess grandmaster.

@svetdmtryev333 @AceTheCat21 Easy. It’s russian propaganda.

@AceTheCat21 what do you think about the forced mobilization of ukrainian civilians (busification) and their use of protected symbols and vehicles for military use

@likesky8146906 @ShaneFromUSA @United24media @MalckyMalcky And please, just stop spreading russian propaganda.

@ShaneFromUSA @United24media @MalckyMalcky The only tide which changed is Zelensky's thugs stepping up forced conscription all over. Imagine trusting Zel's officials. 🤪 x.com/i/status/20399…
