@TheFl0orIsLaVa No one here cares about anything about Ukraine, especially its drone knowledge so definately yes!
English

Maybe Ukraine should wait to share its drone know-how with the U.S. until Trump is finally sure.

@GeorgeBoulos23 @WarMonitor3 When did NATO threaten or invade Russia?
It’s a defensive alliance
English

@WarMonitor3 Russia has every right to defend itself against NATO and US aggression.

@reniermbotha @SpaceX Ocean splashdowns is not the final design. They will be coming back to land in the future.
English

@SpaceX How much of the rocket is reused after a splash down like this?

@backtran @sashameetsrus Stop dragging enemies into your territory and nothing will happen 🤷♂️

@svdaedalus @Microinteracti1 Ukraine is defending itself
Russia can just leave. War ends
English

@Microinteracti1 What a stupid comment; NATO and the USA are feeding satellite intel to UKR to kill Russians. What did you expect Russia to do about?? Such 3rd grade level thinking; you must be related to Kaja Kallas...No wonder Europe is collapsing
English

He’ll Ask Putin. That Is the Plan.
Ukraine says Russian reconnaissance satellites photographed Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia repeatedly in the days before Iranian missiles hit it, wounding American service members.
Zelensky told NBC News he is one hundred percent certain Moscow is feeding targeting intelligence to Tehran.
Asked about this aboard Air Force One on Monday, the President of the United States announced his investigative method: he will ask Putin.
That is the whole strategy. Ring up the prime suspect and inquire politely. This is the same president who already told Fox News that Putin “might be helping them a bit”, then shrugged it off as fair play.
Then came the part that should end careers. Any Russian help, Trump said, made little difference anyway, because Iran had been beaten. Twelve Americans were injured at that base. Two seriously.
I am not even American. I still find this obscene. If a foreign power were spotting targets for missiles landing on European troops, and our leader responded by promising to raise it gently with the man who ordered it, he would not survive the week. Parliament would eat him alive, and rightly so.
America instead schedules a segment about it, waits for a poll, and calls the hesitation strength. There is a word for a commander who will not name the country helping kill his own soldiers, and it is not caution.

@AbrahamWongHXR @golub Escalation?
Defending yourself from an aggressor is not escalation
English

@golub It would not be just a shame, but yet another escalation from Ukraine.
English

The nukes were Soviet ones,having been made under Moscow's command,with launch key codes in Moscow and would have expired in 1997.They were totally useless for Ukraine. Stop spreading lies.
US achieved a strategic defeat against Russia then making a deal that "forced" Moscow to withdraw its nukes Eastwards and much further away from Central Europe.
Stop lying.
Security assurances were violated when US ousted Yanukovich in 2014 violating first Budapest Memorandum;Putin just followed up.
Stop lying.
English

‘Why won’t they just negotiate?’
We negotiated. Formally. Twice. Let me read you the receipts.
Budapest, 1994: Ukraine surrenders the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal for signed security assurances. Russia signs. Russia invades.
Minsk, 2014: ceasefire signed. Violated within days.
Minsk, 2015: ceasefire signed on a Thursday. Debaltseve — a Ukrainian city — falls the following week, while the ink is still wet.
The grain deal, 2022: signed, used, discarded when convenient.
Istanbul, 2022: Russia’s own draft demanded a Ukraine disarmed to parade strength. That is not a treaty. That is a surrender schedule.
Four signatures, four violations, one pattern: Moscow treats every agreement as a reload interval — a pause to reconstitute, then resume.
So no, the problem is not that nobody tried diplomacy.
The problem is that with this Russia, a treaty is not the end of the war.
It is the war, continued on paper.

@SeniboOti @BohuslavskaKate @araghchi None of it happens without Russia interfering and then invading Ukraine
English

@BohuslavskaKate @araghchi Remember the weapons the west sent to Ukraine that killed Russia so Russia have the right to start shooting the west ships and planes in the west territory. You are a 🤡 to think what your 🤡 of a president did was brave not knowing it was foolish. I trust Iran to respond

@Frosty_Xan @johnnydollar86 You can use a VPN with an end point in Canada too.
Why fake being in Bermuda?
„retard“

@johnnydollar86 Because I live in Winnipeg & use a VPN, you retard.

Canada will be the 51st U.S. state sooner than most realize. Trump ain't saying these things for shits & giggles or to piss off the 'Elbows Up' retards.
It's gonna happen & I can't wait!
Documenting Saylor@saylordocs
Trump: “I love Canada … But the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year … You have to run your own country. And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state … I'm sorry, we have to do this.”

@Frosty_Xan Trade imbalance is not a subsidy.
Make more stuff people want to buy fixes it.

@oorlog_monitor Kiev is a Nazi hellhole, only fellow Nazis go there.

Paar kleine feitjes:
- Donald Trump is nooit in Kyiv geweest.
- Steve Witkoff, Trump's Envoy, is 10x in Moskou geweest. 0x in Kyiv.
- Oekraïne heeft net als veel Westerse landen een 10% tariff vanuit de VS. Rusland 0. Belarus 0. Noord-Korea 0.
- Trump heeft de sancties tegen Rusland niet verscherpt, maar verzwakt.
- Trump kan extra sancties instellen tegen Rusland, maar weigert. Dit kan zelfs buiten de bill van het Congress om.
- Trump zijn administratie is er niet in geslaagd om een goedgekeurd pakket van 400 miljoen dollar aan steun voor Oekraine, daadwerkelijk uit te voeren.
Trump is niet pro-Oekraine. MAGA is niet pro-Oekraine.
Trump gebruikt Oekraine en Zelenskyy om de midterms te winnen. 70% van de Amerikanen is namelijk pro-Oekraine. Slechts 10% is pro-Rusland.

@TreizeKushrena2 @Sulkhan Conflating NATO with Warsaw pact is just nonsense. Ukraine has corruption problems but far less so than Russia
NATO expands by invitation not coercion.

Germany was defeated in a hot war that cost millions of lives. Russia didn't even exist as a sovereign state until the Soviet Union peacefully dissolved in the 1990s. Germany was re-unified, and Soviet occupation armies were disbanded and recalled. Only one side didn't pull back its occupation forces, and in fact it increased control over Europe and expanded its military footprint, reneging on promises made to Soviet leadership. The Russians wanted a seat at the table, to be partners, but empire has no need for partners, only vassals. The plan for Russia was to be turned into what essentially Ukraine is, a dysfunctional country with immense human and natural resource potential, but that is kept in a constant state of poverty by vampiric oligarchs calling themselves global citizens, pillaging and raping the country. Figuratively and literally, the latter taking place in a certain private island.

The West humiliated Russia in the 1990s. This war is the consequence.’
I’ve heard this in every language, from every podium. It is history rewritten backwards.
Recall what actually happened to defeated Russia: no occupation. No reparations. No tribunal. It kept its nuclear arsenal and its UN veto. Its debts were forgiven and refinanced. It was handed IMF billions and a seat at the G8 — a club of democracies admitting a wounded autocracy out of hope.
Now recall an actually humiliated nation: Germany, 1945. Occupied. Partitioned. Cities in ash, leaders hanged, guilt taught to its children by law.
Germany became the most peaceful democracy in Europe. Russia became this.
So spare me the humiliation theory. Russia was not humiliated after the Cold War. It was indulged — and it read every kindness as weakness, every gift as tribute.
The grievance was never mistreatment. The grievance was lost dominion.
Empires do not mourn their wounds. They mourn their slaves.

@josneaks @jurgen_nauditt NATO already has Russia on its borders.
Why? Those border states of their own free will don’t want to be under the thumb of Moscow again.

@jurgen_nauditt 😂
Keep poking the bear’s civilians and eventually he’ll use his nukes and there will be no Kyiv
Stupid #%^*s tried to put the enemy on Russia’s doorstep (NATO) WTF did they think was going to happen !
If Mexico joined a Chinese Military Bloc we’d nuke the hell out of Mexico

The heated debate surrounding Wildberries—whether it was a crime or not, whether it was legitimate or illegitimate, the complaints along the lines of "Why us?" ("We were only selling diapers") and the appeals to sympathy—is nothing more than an attempt to distract from a simple, obvious fact: After five years of war, during which Russia has sought—and continues to seek, day after day (truly *every single day*)—to literally force Ukraine to its knees, it is simply absurd to debate the legitimacy or illegitimacy of these attacks.
I could cite a million reasons why this is legitimate, but—I repeat—that makes absolutely no difference. What matters is the price of the war—a price Ukraine is trying to drive up massively in order to end the conflict.
The man who instigated all this could literally put an end to it with the snap of his fingers. So let him snap—and do it quickly—while there is still something left.

@stefanoscalia People preferred to drive. Even before public transit became unsafe. Imagine that.
