Just incredible

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

‼️⚠️ "Russia in Riyadh refused to discuss the ban on strikes on civilian objects!" 🤬 Deputy Head of OP Zhovkva stressed that Ukraine insisted on a ban on shelling civilian objects, but Russians told the Americans that they "do not have a mandate to discuss this issue."

The guy who everyone said was in no way qualified for the job and a major liability turned out to be in no way qualified for the job and a major liability? I’m shocked I tell you!

Russian propagandists are openly mocking gullible Americans. Mikhail Zvinchuk, a host on Solovyov's channel, called the Trump administration "American pots" because Vitkoff believes that Russia is adhering to the "ceasefire."

Secdef Lloyd Austin went to the hospital for prostate issues. The GOP was trying to crush him. Seems kinda small today huh

The fact that a reporter was inadvertently given access to this in real time shows that Pete Hegseth & the rest of this crew are bumbling incompetents who are going to get a lot of intelligence officials and others killed at some point. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

Jeffrey Goldberg and Pete Hegseth. One takes DOD protocols seriously: Goldberg: —Did not disclose sensitive information; and —Left the chat when clear he was on chain (errantly) w/classified plans We’ve asked Pee Wee amateurs to play in big leagues. Expect (a lot) more unforced errors.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

This chart seems to suggest that something is going wrong in the United States, specifically. (www.ft.com/content/7568... )

The new America

Russia’s ‘3-day war’ is now 3 YEARS old—and they’re getting wrecked. 800,000 casualties, no tanks, no fleet… and now Trump is cutting Ukraine’s aid to throw Putin a lifeline. Sad! Read how Ukraine is WINNING despite the betrayals adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lif...

Plan A of forcing Ukraine to surrender is failing. So now he's pretending to pressure Russia. But notice the difference: when it's just Ukraine, he yells. When he addresses Putin, he politely adds, "Thank you!!!" in advance.

Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP. And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

*drop mic*

It's heartbreaking to see the United States stoop to such a low. We've turned out backs to the plight of a people fighting for their own survival and endorsed the aggressor, giving them everything they want with nothing in return. A dark future lies ahead... www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Read. 👇👇👇 Blistering.

U.S. STRATEGIC FAILURE Sec Def Hegseth’s public comments yesterday capitulating to Putin’s demands prior to the onset of negotiation signal a new era of appeasement and global weakness for the United States. (1/6) www.nbcnews.com/news/world/h...
