@GorylKunegunda @igorsushko Because they would have waited for Putin to take over the government and then Putin would have told them to move in.

@igorsushko Why didn't they move in? Ukraine was pretty defenseless outside of Kiev & with no real, international support back then/at the start of the orc invasion

Russia and Hungary planned a joint invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to partition the country. Hungarian army with T-72 tanks, Rheinmetall Gidrán Armored Combat Vehicles and artillery led by General Ruszin-Szendi waited at the border for Kyiv to fall. hungarytoday.hu/oleksiy-danilo…

@NAFOvoyager @FreeUkraine91 Russians are blood thirsty killers!!

Kherson. Its streets have long been turned into a shooting range by russians. 📽 This is what a “human safari” looks like up close. Every day, russian FPV drones hunt innocent civilians—then the perpetrators brag about it on their channels. This is what russians are.

@spectatorindex @ItsTheEnforcer Europe will be ok. It’s the US who will suffer. But a new President might rebuild.

European allies are now 'losing hope of keeping America in NATO', and the situation 'may have gone beyond the point where European action could soften Mr Trump's contempt for NATO', according to The Economist.

@WhiteHouse @POTUS What about he runs the war instead of seeking the spotlight all the time.

TOMORROW 🇺🇸 President Donald J. Trump joins the military in the Oval Office for a news conference. American strength. Full display. Don’t miss it.

@igorsushko So funny!!

@EricLDaugh @marklevinshow Trump’s narcissism is losing control! If he keeps these insults up on the world stage he’s going to be certified.

🚨 JUST IN: The Trump White House just PUMMELED the Daily Mail for their anti-American lies “You sick freaks. No lives were lost because America’s warfighters are the most powerful, lethal, and precise fighting force ever known to man. God bless our heroes.” 🫳🏻🎤🇺🇸

@wahbaddin @AH_AlSharaa @ZelenskyyUa It’s such fun thinking about it.

@AH_AlSharaa @ZelenskyyUa هذه الصورة ستغضب #بوتين #روسيا #سوريا #اوكرانيا #أحمد_الشرع

استقبلتُ في دمشق الرئيس الأوكراني فولوديمير زيلينسكي @ZelenskyyUa ، حيث جرى بحث سبل تعزيز التعاون الاقتصادي وتبادل الخبرات. وتؤكد الزيارة توجه سوريا نحو توسيع شراكاتها الدولية بما يدعم التنمية ويعزّز الاستقرار.

@AH_AlSharaa @ZelenskyyUa Fantastic!! Thank you for showing Zelenskyy and his people so much respect. 🇺🇦🇦🇺

@BreitbartLondon @BreitbartNews They are absolutely going crazy because Europe has finally stood up to Trump. Trump even insulted their soldiers from their support in other wars, soldiers who died fighting America’s wars. Too bad so sad. Trump’s looking for a scapegoat.

Top Republicans Rally Around Trump, Question Point of ‘Feckless’ and ‘Weak’ NATO Allies breitbart.com/europe/2026/04…

@SenWhitehouse @officejjsmart This needs to be openly exposed. Trump and co are Russian assets. Traitors

My intel is that Trump administration used Orban to help sabotage the EU’s Russian-assets-to-Ukraine deal. More Trump/Russia. politico.eu/article/operat…

@victoriaslog @igorsushko Meanwhile Russia kills little babies!

Russians don’t care about civilian casualties, but they become very upset about the war when they can’t buy luxury goods. A Russian athlete got upset because she couldn’t buy Dior and Louis Vuitton. If every brand did the same, they would take to the streets in no time.

@AriFleischer @SebGorka You mean they have attacked the one who hung Putin’s photo in the White House? The one who threatened Denmark, a NATO, member with an invasion, the one who ordered the US to support Russia at the UN, who took oil sanctions off Russia. That person?

My message here clearly struck a nerve. A few friends from when I was press secretary, domestically and abroad, don’t like what I said. Instead of seeing how Western European nations must change, they just want to attack Trump. The reason it struck a nerve is because they recognize that this time NATO nations are being held to account. They know they’ve come up short for decades and by denying us overflight rights, they’ve gone too far. Americans are fed up, especially with France and Spain. Trump won’t stand for it and they know it. They now fear the consequences of their inaction. The UK, unlike its days under Thatcher or Blair, is wishy-washy. They’ve often been a good allie, but this time they want to sit it out and have it both ways. We can use their bases, but only for limited operations. At least the UK spends real money on defense. France, Spain, and Italy are another story. So too is Canada. None of these four contribute seriously to NATO. They’re laggards, trying to get away with it. Spain and France force our pilots to fly thousands of miles out of the way (I thought they didn’t like carbon footprints) en route to Iran. Eastern Europe is a different story. They spend more on defense and they understand power. They lived under Soviet domination and recognize weakness when they see it. They won’t be weak. Western European governments, especially France, are good at issuing communiques and statements. They enjoy hosting conferences. They love to ponder deeply. Getting them to act is another matter, unless it’s to purchase Russian LNG, which they still do. The world is changing. Out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the importance of strength. The UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Eastern Europe will emerge stronger than ever. Western Europe will continue to fall behind. As for Trump, you don’t have to like him. He often says things none of his predecessors would say. But don’t underestimate the fact that US taxpayers are fed up with nations that don’t pull their weight, and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran. Today’s Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransoms (trade) than support the US. Things are different today. We all know it. The UK, France, Spain and Italy (despite its Prime Minister) have earned the consequences that will unfold. They could have and should have supported us. Not as a NATO alliance. But as individual free nations. All we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields. They’ve made their choices. Soon, they’ll see the results.

@ChurchillFella @JayinKyiv Such terrible grief!! There are no words to describe such grief. And Trump hangs Putin’s photo in White House!!!

Ukrainian mother lost her 18-month-old son during Russian bombing. Never forget. Never forgive.

@ItsTheEnforcer Fantastic!!!!! 🇺🇦🇦🇺

🚨BREAKING: Russia’s major Black Sea fleet port of Novorossiysk has suffered one of the most extensive attacks of the war. Russian air defense seems to have either failed or was largely nonexistent — WOW.

@Microinteracti1 @AlGGDirect Exactly right. And the European stock market overtook the US one in growth for the first time ever.

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@DrEliDavid Oh, and Trump sucks up to Putin, the one killing Ukrainians every single day, and puts Putin’s photo in the White House? Takes away Russian sanctions after the G6 asked him not to. Invites Russians to Capitol Hill. We sure know who the backstabbers are.

France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria: Not only bad "allies", but backstabbers actively sabotaging US war efforts. NATO is worthless.

@bungarsargon @TrentTelenko Oh my goodness!!! Aren’t Americans whinging non stop because Europe stood up to them!! After Trump, Vance and co insulted Europe since day one, and Trump threatening to invade Denmark, how dare they stand up to them!! Naughty Europe!!!!

The chutzpah is staggering: Europe is whining about not being able to rely on the US at the exact moment Europe is demonstrating that the US can’t rely on them, depriving us of even minimal assistance in a battle against a global enemy of the West—which includes Europe, though they seem to have forgotten it. My column: "The War in Iran Was a Test for Europe. It Failed." batyaus.substack.com/p/the-war-in-i…

@EricLDaugh Holy Crap!! For the first time the European stock market saw more investment than the US stock market!!! Europe’s rising. The US is declining. Thank you President Trump.

🚨 BREAKING: European allies are reportedly "LOSING HOPE" of keeping America in NATO after President Trump called them out as freeloaders — The Economist Good! We'd miss out on NOTHING if the US left NATO. It's a one-way street. They abandoned us. They do nothing for us.

@marklevinshow That language does nothing for him. Talk about a Christian! You can wage a war and keep your dignity.

@AshtonCirillo @mfa_ruzzia We need to pray for your safety

Update: Eyes are healing considerably. Need medicine for 1-2 months but the burns should leave limited to no lasting damage. The concussion symptoms are gone. On Friday I deployed for a return mission to the Kostyantinvka AO. Thanks for the prayers. Victory is Ukraine
