⚡️'Putin is a murderer' — Zelensky rejects Trump's claim that Russia, Ukraine are like 'kids'. President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s comparison of Russia’s war against Ukraine to “children fighting in a park." kyivindependent.com/zelensky-ref...

Always worth remembering that the most anti-Russia countries know what it's like to be ruled by them.

Please Andrei, you're too kind.

Well well well

Populism is always fluid between both sides of the spectrum. Farage has been pushing the 'People's Army' routine for years now.

My Bluesky feed unfortunately isn't nearly as diverse and developed to draw me in every day. Think this site could do with a bit more in the way of differing views. Otherwise it's just the left-wingers arguing with centrists about right-wingers

He still thinks “asylum” means psychiatric asylum and the media is still talking about Biden’s mental capacities instead. We are a failed state.

Also true in the UK. Where people imagine there to be big savings they approve of (overseas aid, MPs salaries, benefits fraud) there are not.

BREAKING: 'You have full backing across the United Kingdom' Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer tells Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, 'We stand with you and Ukraine for as long as it may take' 👏

Make minerals deal with Europe. Give frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. Serious genuine sanctions. European military personnel providing on-ground support. Russia has poisoned and killed people on our shores. They've meddle in every aspect of our intelligence and electoral processes. Gloves off.

Honestly after today, I'm this close to supporting actual boots on the ground in Ukraine. But first, give frozen Russian assets to Ukraine this actual second.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Candlelit dinner I imagine

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Just shows these people never cared about cancel culture. They just wanted to be the ones cancelling.

I sometimes forget what an impressive place Skegness is.

The European Union will provide 35 billion euros ($36 billion) in financial assistance to Ukraine in 2025 through the G7 ERA credit initiative and the Ukraine Facility program, European Commission's vice-president and trade commissioner announced on Jan. 22.

Just stumbled across this article on Isak from August 2022. Pretty wild to read it now 🤯: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl... #NUFC cc. @editkev.football

"fueling mass delusion seems to be a great way to win elections and pump stocks in the short run, I'm sure there will be zero downsides to this in the long run"

As if we ever needed another reminder that Corbyn and his ilk have always been more anti-west than they have been pro-peace.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

MAGA's Razor - The simplest explanation is almost never correct and you're a deep state stooge for even suggesting it.

first they came for Matt Gaetz, and I didn't speak out— because seriously, fuck that guy

🧵 To those calling for peace in Ukraine Everyone—except Russia—wants immediate peace. No one wants it more than the people of Ukraine. But let’s be clear: Ukraine didn’t instigate this war. Russia did. Ukraine isn’t escalating this war. Russia is...1/3

Implying the worm ever lost control

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.

There it is

Well look at the silver lining...if someone finds it anywhere let me know.

The best part of the Infowars buyout by the Onion is it's quite likely a majority of Jones' regular audience will never comprehend that the articles are all jokes.

Matt Gaetz for AG? Tulsi Gabbard for DNI? Holy fuck.

TRIVIA: If confirmed as Trump’s attorney general, Matt Gaetz would make history as the first-ever Cabinet secretary to lead a department that previously investigated him for sex trafficking

If this place keeps growing, it will have the exact same problems X/Twitter did. The more popular it becomes, more trolls and bots will join. Also, there are probably already accounts that'll try to infiltrate and divide movements like #NAFO. But at least it won't have Elon.
