As hurtful as it sounds, the United States is siding with Russia by demanding Ukrainian resources and threatening with action for refusal to comply. We are being robbed by the world's two largest nuclear powers. Welcome back to the 21st-century Molotov-Ribbentrop reality

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

One way or another, many EU countries will get under non-US nuclear umbrella. I bet Russia will be "thrilled" at the idea of countries like Poland getting their own nukes...

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Trump & his populist fiction on "ending the war in Ukraine": ➡️ Mar 2023: "I'll fix it in 24 hours." ➡️ Sep 2024: "I'll end it before inauguration." ➡️ Jan 7, 2025: "Hopefully in six months." ➡️ Feb 20, 2025: "Maybe in a year."

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

NATO isn't dead yet but this should now be the new key planning assumption. Perhaps it could be called a predictable strategic shock? Beyond NATO, there are the bilateral relationships which shouldn't be written off either, but if push comes to shove, plans B and C are needed.

Britain didn’t hold an election during WWII until Nazi Germany was defeated, despite not being occupied but only enduring attacks from the air and sea. Trump would've called Churchill a 'dictator'

Does anyone remember how JD Vance traveled to Germany to meet with alt-right political party "AfD", which holds anti-NATO and pro-Russia positions, after Musk repeatedly and publicly backed them, interfering in another country's ongoing elections?

submitted 2 days ago • 21 comments

Putting aside the fact that this is nonsense, since Ukraine's constitution prohibits elections during wartime and biggest opposition figures are against elections right now, note how Musk is never concerned about democracy in Russia and China. After all, it might jeopardize Tesla sweatshops in China

Zelensky was elected with a majority of Ukrainian votes. His presidency was extended per the Constitution during the war. It’s odd to hear him called a dictator by someone who led a failed coup and is now expanding the executive branch in violation of American norms and processes

For many years we were taught that the USA is a strong democracy - if one branch of government starts abusing its power, the other branches will stop it. Turns out it was a hoax. The democratic structure of the USA has turned out to be weak and collapsible like a house of cards.

The two key take aways from Trump’s post-truth diatribe of narcissistic submission to Putin is that (1) Western democracies are heading out of the bay into open ocean, where some may sink and (2) Article 5 is unlikely to be a reliable security guarantee in the near future.

🇨🇿 Petr Pavel: "What value would elections have in a country that has been defending itself against aggression for 3 years? How can elections be organized with 1/5 of territory occupied and country under daily shelling? Calling president of such country a dictator requires a great deal of cynicism."

Ņemot vērā Trampa pēdējo dienu izteicienus, ļoti gaidu rītdienas Saeimas sēdi, kur arī Trampa faniem būs jābalso par paziņojumu, kurā Saeima "kategoriski nosoda neprovocēto (!) Krievijas militāro agresiju".

Visskumjākais (ja neskaita Ukrainas nodošanu un tās sekas) ir apziņa, ka tā nav nekāda sarunu vadības stratēģija. Aiz tās nav ne Valsts departamenta ekspertīzes, ne izlūkdienestu informācijas. Tā ir divu egomānu pašapmierināšanās, kamēr trešais fonā sakārto valsts infrastruktūru savam biznesam.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

whether or not you’re a fan of zelensky, the usa trying to force an election in a foreign democracy during wartime–when it can’t be held safely and securely–against most ukrainians’ wishes (including much of zelensky’s opposition) and in violation of the ukrainian constitution is unacceptable.
