This is why appeasement fails. Chamberlain thought he could make peace with Hitler. Trump thinks he can make peace with Putin. Both ignored years of lies and invasions. Deals with dictators are not peace. They are just delays before the next betrayal. Some people never learn.

Disgusting. Trump wants to rip legal status from Ukrainians fleeing war and Afghans who risked their lives for the U.S. This is not about law and order. It is cruelty for cruelty’s sake. Deporting war refugees while cozying up to Putin is the clearest signal yet of where his loyalties lie.

Macron gets it. Trump is useless, and Europe cannot wait around while he plays dictator. If Ukraine falls, Putin will not stop there. Meanwhile, Trump throws tantrums, withholds aid, and dreams of stripping Ukraine for resources. The free world is moving on without him.

Trump doesn't care about Ukraine. He doesn't care about the war. He cares about minerals. He holds weapons hostage, hoping that Zelensky grovels. Ukraine does not even have the rare earths he is drooling over. He sees a country fighting for survival and thinks, how can I strip it for parts?

New FBI Deputy Director. Disgusting fascist.

It is reported that US President Donald Trump, following a request from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has ordered the closure of the US military base in Alexandroupoli, Greece. MilitaryNewsUA

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

Harsh, but true. #MAGA

If Russia ceases combat operations, the war is over. If Ukraine ceases combat operations, Ukraine is over

One of the first statements by the CDU after winning the elections: „Ukraine must win the war!“

Protests throughout Georgia continue and get more traction. This one is Batumi today, day 26. #GeorgiaProstests #terrorinGeorgia #NewElectionsforGeorgia 📷 Guram Murvanidze

Good old Kyiv just tonight

The first moments after the attack on the oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov region, in Russia. Judging by the footage, the oil processing units and a tank has been hit. This refinery was already burning after a strike six months ago.

It’s amazing that in 2024 we need these kind of articles in the daily paper. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

If you ask me, this would have been a much better choice for Time’s Person of the Year.

Dear Western partners, Either help us break the violent, illegitimate Georgian Dream regime through imposing financial sanctions on them today while they are still able to live in Georgia, or tomorrow they’ll be rushing to you to negotiate a shelter. Yes, it’s getting to that.

We are so - and I use this word advisely - fucked.

Day 14 of nationwide non-stop protests in Georgia. Thousands of public sector employees, risking their jobs, organized a massive march in defense of the constitution, declaring their loyalty to the nation, not a political party that serves Russia and oligarchs. #georgiaprotests

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

Sad!

Amid the turmoil in Syria, don't lose sight of Georgia: protests rage for the 11th day after the government halted EU talks. Police crackdowns intensify, and journalists face brutal attacks. Tensions rise as the nation grapples with its democratic future.

www.bbc.com/news/article... With Assad's government toppled, the Syrian army has abandoned positions in the Golan Heights. Israel has "temporarily" seized the demilitarized buffer zone, calling the 1974 disengagement agreement 'collapsed.'

Assad is now in Moscow, so Tulsi can visit all her friends in one place.

Hundreds are waiting outside of Sednaya prison for news about their loved ones. The rebels found multiple under ground levels and have been unable to break past the 2nd one. Rescue operations still underway, they are debating on asking the international community for help to save thousands trapped.

Since 2012, Putin's puppet Assad was there to make sure 3 pipelines never got finished, projects that would have brought cheap Saudi and Qatari gas into the European market. All the brutality Russians inflicted on the people of Syria was to ensure Russian EU gas monopoly

🇸🇾🤩🇹🇷 Syrians are returning home, to Damascus, from Türkiye.

❗️🇸🇾 "We could see the end of Assad's rule in Syria in the coming hours," a senior US official told Reuters.

Russian-backed government thugs all over the streets of Tbilisi now, capturing anyone standing around. Georgia is now Belarus.

Tblisi

Bad week for Putin as Russia's puppet Assad regime in Syria likely to soon fall and protests against the russian-backed government in Georgia growing daily.. All this while war rages in Ukraine and Russia's domestic economy in a state of free fall. Tbilisi, now.

Marinka Ukraine. Before the Russians and after the Russians.

SAA forces abandoning their positions at Jabal Zain al-Abidin at the northern entrance of Hama.

Georgia's Russian-backed government is now brutally arresting opposition members all over Tbilisi. 1930's Russia will be the model for whats about to happen in Georgia if they don't get these Russians out now.

The eradication of disease through vaccination is likely the greatest achievement of mankind. Please remember that when the barrage of bullshit begins.
