@JohnCleese What could Putin realese that anyone might not think was a sophisticated fabrication by Russian intelligence? Trump would laugh at it.

Yes, someone's benefitting Could it be Putin ? Because Trump is doing everything to help him Why ? Because Putin has stuff on Trump that would torpedo him forever

@MykhailoRohoza Yes, they all START as anti corruption campaigners.

Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar, calling Orbán and his circle a mafia, stated that if he gains a constitutional majority, the heads of the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, the State Audit Office, the competition authority, and the prosecutor general will be removed. According to him, they failed to fulfill their constitutional duties and instead placed political loyalty to Orbán above the law. Over years of prolonged dominance in Hungarian politics, Orbán has rewritten the constitution, redrawn electoral districts, and appointed loyalists to key positions, creating a model of “illiberal democracy” that he presents to nationalist allies in Europe and beyond as a system resistant to electoral defeat. Magyar promised to return Hungary to the European political mainstream and to loosen ties with Russia. “Viktor Orbán does not represent the interests of Hungary, the European Union, or NATO, but rather the interests of a third country,” Magyar said, clearly referring to Russia.

@Dmytro250 @WW3finalboss It was about what Ukraine needed for Russians, too. Until Ukraine decided to be a sovereign state and was invited to join the anti Russian alliance of NATO, which Putin had been told Russia could not join.

@CidySean @WW3finalboss It’s not about what Russia “dreamt” or expected, it’s about what Ukraine needs to feel safe and secure in its own future. Ukraine will be great again❤️🇺🇦

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Kasparov cuts straight to the core of it "Ukraine's only sin was to try to join the free world of democracy and prosperity This was unforgivable to Putin." - Garry Kasparov That’s the framing he’s been consistent on, this war isn’t random, it’s about Ukraine choosing a direction Moscow couldn’t accept.

@Bustersdad334 @WW3finalboss The weapons Ukraine was given and Europe is now paying for are not and were not available on the open market at any price. The massive intel and surveillance assistance (including detailed forewarning of the invasion) was and is completely free.

@CidySean @WW3finalboss You spend on your own military and expect NATO to buy your weapons. Watch your defence industry collapse as we all buy European kit.

🇺🇸🌍 US general warns allies are watching closely “This is embarrassing for me as an American to hear any American president showing such disdain for any ally, and we are going to regret in the long run as ... nations lose confidence in us, lose trust in us and start finding other ways to look after their strategic interests.” - Ben Hodges 🇺🇸 That’s a serious concern coming from inside the U.S. military establishment. If allies start hedging, the ripple effects won’t stay contained for long.

@grey4626 The closing of the Straits and Trump's attitude means Europe potentially needs to look to Russia for cheap energy now.

Fuck the European Union. The EU’s latest act of bureaucratic self-castration...quietly yanking that April 15 oil-ban proposal from the agenda like a junkie hiding the needle...has laid bare the trembling core of their entire edifice. These gilded parasites in Brussels, drunk on moral preening and American security teat, have spent years waging a pretend-war on Russian energy while mainlining it like the desperate addicts they are. And now they flinch. Again. Putin should cut them off. Completely. No phased reductions, no polite third-party loopholes, no diplomatic vaseline to ease the insertion. Slam every valve shut with the merciless precision of a guillotine blade. Starve the beast until its hypocritical heart seizes. History does not forgive half-measures, and neither should he. Recall the 1973 oil shock that brought the West to its knees; remember how the Soviet Druzhba lifeline kept Eastern Europe compliant until the very moment Moscow chose otherwise. Empires do not fall from external blows alone...they hemorrhage from within when their lifeblood is withheld. Byzantium rotted from theological cannibalism while the Ottomans sharpened their scimitars. Rome’s Senate stabbed Caesar in the name of “liberty” and handed the Republic to the very chaos they feared. The EU’s current Weimar moment is no different: a ruling class of performative sociopaths...von der Leyen at the podium in her power suits, Jørgensen and the rest of the blue-blooded coven...projecting their own terminal weakness onto Moscow while their populations shiver in the dark and their industries flee to saner shores. Psychologically it is textbook, the exquisite pathology of the decadent elite: grandiosity masking profound castration anxiety. They posture as climate saviors and geopolitical hardmen, yet the second Hungary whispers “voter backlash” or winter bites, they fold like wet tissue. This is not strategy; it is the compulsive self-sabotage of a civilization that has lost the will to survive. They imagine sanctions and green fairy tales will break a nuclear-armed civilization-state forged in the furnace of Mongol hordes, Napoleonic winters, and Stalin’s steel. Instead they have only succeeded in deindustrializing themselves, turning Europe into a cautionary tale of what happens when hubris meets physics. Fuck their sanctimonious resolutions. Fuck their endless deadlines and performative outrage. Putin holds the valve. He should turn it to zero and watch the empire of lies unravel in real time...factories idled, homes plunged into cold, economies hemorrhaging the very vitality they spent decades pretending they didn’t need. Let the masses feel the cost of their leaders’ narcissistic void. Let the psychological projection collapse under the weight of frozen pipes and darkened streets. This is not cruelty. This is corrective surgery. Lethal, precise, and long overdue. The Republic of Europe does not survive on virtue signals. It survives...or falls...on energy dominance enforced without apology. Cut the oil. All of it. 🗡️💀⚖️

@anders_aslund It should not surprise; Israel has been taken over by MILITARY Zionism now. The Palestinians made a mistake in rejecting what Ehud Barak offered, which they maybe could have built on.

This is really quite extraordinary. Like Trump and Orban, Netanyahu has now declared himself a friend of Russia and enemy of Europe.

@Microinteracti1 Australia the Third World country with a First World lifestyle. If it writes Ukraine the bank cheque it is begging for, then many Europen countries will become the mirror image of Oz.

“We’re sending a powerful signal to the rest of the world” While Donald Trump builds new tariff walls, the EU and Australia are tearing theirs down. After eight years of negotiations, a historic free trade agreement is now sealed – with critical minerals as the prize at the center of it all.

@DakdaR22 WHO is going to pay the trillions (that is trillions with a t) required for stopping the Russian army where it currently is? That little detail is never spelt out in all this vague rhetoric.

"Let us not be fooled by those who claim that in the name of appeasing Putin peace should be achieved by offering concessions... What they are asking for is for Ukraine to surrender." - Petr Pavel🇨🇿 I agree with him, absolutely..

@joni_askola Not under the existing current NATO agreement. He is changing the terms for a new deal. If Europe does not like it, then don't agree.

We owe Trump nothing

@AmbJohnBolton But if we finish the job, then the strait will reopen, and China's oil supplies will recomence.

If the White House leaves a wounded beast alive in Tehran, whatever is left of the regime will come back and rebuild its nuclear program, its terrorist infrastructure, and the regime. It will only be a matter of time.

@JohnCleese Not a chartered accountant, a CERTIFIED accountant.

Hard to believe this isn't a Monty Python sketch

@Robert_E_Kelly Attacking NATO might cause plotting against Putin. But the war with Ukraine won't. Ukraine still has not introduced conscription for prime military age males. Zelensky worries about the security of his regime, where he to draft men 18 and up.

A wannabe great power reduced to fighting like it's Verdun. Unreal. I am genuinely amazed the security services in Russia aren't scheming against Putin. He's breaking Russian power. At some point it's just cheaper to lose...

@Kasparov63 TRILLIONS is what would be needed to stop Russia where it is, which is only a 50 km belt from where they are going to call it a day and deal.

As I wrote over a decade ago about these people, when it comes to far-right Europeans, it’s always money and it’s always Russia.

@Billbrowder Trillions is what it would cost to perminantly stop Russia where it is, which is only a 50 km from the other side of the belt they want conceded

I’m not sure I understand what the value of these supposed “peace talks” are if all that’s being demanded of Ukraine by the US is to give up territory that Russia can’t win militarily. The US has stopped funding Ukraine so what’s in it for Ukraine?

@igorsushko Ukraine still doesn't draft men under 24, so Russia is being fought almost to a standstill against an army lacking prime military age males.

I respect Toomas very much but this attitude is beyond comprehension to me. 1) Baltics are a much easier invasion target for Russia compared to Ukraine. 2) NATO refused to defend Ukraine for irrational fear of attack by Russia and its nukes. What's going to be different? 3) NATO can't defend the Baltics. Insufficient will, munitions, and zero ability to counter Russian drone swarms. 4) Russia can occupy the capitals in hours/days, dig in, mine the area, and then snipe at any allied infantry with artillery and drones that may try to come through. Is NATO going to bomb Tallin, Riga, and Vilnius? Russia is willing to lose millions of soldiers in the war. How many are Poland or Finland willing to lose? What about Germany? 5) Alternately Russia could start by occupying Narva in Estonia and gauge the reaction. Is today's NATO going to go WW3 over a tiny border town with 50,000 population? 6) Europe doesn't have enough missiles to do any meaningful damage to Russia. Once out of conventional munitions, you're crazy if you think France or the UK will launch pre-emptive nukes against Moscow because Russia expanded its border by 10km, 1,700km away in Estonia. 7) If Russia invades the Baltics it's because NATO members refused to defend Ukraine. Every single nation refused to do the right thing - send troops to help Ukraine when it mattered most. They still haven't done it. You reap what you sow.

@DakdaR22 Ukraine has already lost all but a 50km belt of the Donbass. Stopping the Russian army where it is now would cost trillions. All for 50 kilometres of a country that does not conscript men under 24 years old (prime military age).

“Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine defends itself and seeks peace, engaging in good faith in a US-brokered peace plan. Russia sabotages peace talks while bombing civilians.. This isn’t the behavior of a country that seeks peace” - Maia Sandu President of Moldova She is awesome woman😉

@Scaramucci He altered American policy on terms of trade with China. It may already be too late, but he stepped up. Came to the front and made himself the centre of attention. It is what a leader does.

Let me explain Trump through the only two prisms you actually need. 👇🏼 Attention and money from attention. Run every single thing he has ever done through those two filters and it all makes perfect sense. Home Alone. The View. Larry King. Fox News. Every media spot he could land in perpetuity — he took it. He wanted presence. He needed presence. But here’s the one that tells you everything you need to know. Trump used to call journalists and PR people pretending to be his own publicist. Made up a name. Fake third party. Called on behalf of himself to pitch interviews with himself. He manufactured his own media coverage by becoming a fictional character in his own story. That’s not a PR strategy. That’s a compulsion. And that same compulsion, the need for your eyeballs, the need to monetize your eyeballs, is what’s been running the most powerful office in the world. Not policy. Not ideology. Not vision. Attention and money from attention.

@mtracey The closure of the strait suits American policy toward China. It also makes clear to Europe that the security of their energy supplies is not part of the US's responsibilities to NATO, which the US pays 60% of the budget of.

What seems most probable: Trump has not engaged in any real "productive conversations" with Iran -- with whom would he be conversing at the moment? -- and is just artificially buoying the markets for a bit

@Dmytro250 @WW3finalboss It was a in great part aself-interested move by Yeltsin, but no Russian dreamt that Ukraine would try to join NATO.

@CidySean @WW3finalboss Thank you soo much for supporting Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦
