Trump's team wants to change the US Constitution so he can run for another term, — NBC According to a 1951 constitutional amendment, the same person can only be elected head of state twice. Don't the non-MAGA Americans see what's happening in their country?

FINALLY one western nation is acting to root out Russian interference. Romania's investigations into Pro-Russian candidate Georgescu reveal another puppet of the Putin regime. $10,000,000 in cash, trips back and forth to Moscow, all the usual. Why can't other nations get serious about Russians?

Wat doen ze in het VK eigenlijk? Slechts 12%?!

Allemaal het land uit. Zorg is woke. Zorg afschaffen. Zoek het zelf maar uit.

Lavrov said Russia hadn't agreed to peacekeeping forces in Ukraine and there would be no ceasefire along the current combat line. Can this be called Russia wanting peace and being ready to negotiate? And can constant concessions to Russia be called negotiations?

Hopelijk gaat het dit jaar nog helemaal failliet. Sponsor de Amerikaanse techoligarchie niet. Elke euro die je aan Musk geeft wordt gebruikt om de Amerikaanse democratie te autocratiseren. Zijn private macht staat gelijk aan politieke macht.

🔥 AFU struck a number of strategic objects of the Russian invaders in the Krasnodar Territory and occupied Crimea, - General Staff Among other things, the military airfields "Saky" and "Kacha", as well as the Tuapse Oil Refinery, were hit.

Putin's calls for Ukraine to "turn" into a "friendly" state demonstrate that Putin is still calling for the removal of the democratically elected government in Ukraine and the installation of a pro-Kremlin government. isw.pub/UkrWar022525

💬 We have a constitution," said Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, adding that such a halt in fighting is not feasible.

Least surprising post of the day. He’s better than RT at spitting russian propaganda

🇺🇦✊ For the first time since 2022-2023: The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counterattack in the Toretsk area and near Pokrovsk, — Lieutenant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Alex". ❗️The General Staff did not officially comment on this.

⚡ Dozens of diplomats walked out of Russia’s speech at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva in a coordinated protest marking three years since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

🇺🇦 "Zelensky is not going to and does not want to be president for life," — First Lady Olena Zelenska "His main task is to ensure that Ukraine is safe. When he is calm about our security, he can leave."

🇬🇧🇫🇷 The UK & France are ready to deploy peacekeepers to Ukraine only if the U.S. guarantees their protection. Trump has refused to provide such guarantees, and Macron failed to secure concessions. Both are requesting U.S. logistical, intel, and military support. www.ft.com/content/983b...

🥴US Vice President Vance accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war with Russia quickly. "When we talked to him at a hotel in Munich, I tried to politely but firmly point out to him that the war needed to be ended as soon as possible. But he clearly didn't understand that."

"I support the idea to have Ukraine, first, being compensated. [...] Second, all those who paid should be compensated, but not by Ukraine, by Russia. They were the ones to aggress" - Emmanuel Macron during his meeting with Trump yesterday 📹Newsweek / Instagram

For the first time in a century, the White House — not the independent White House Correspondents' Association — will determine which news outlets are part of the press pool, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced.

President Trump said during a White House meeting with French President Macron that he had "specifically asked" Russian President Putin about peacekeepers and that Putin "has no problem with it," but the Kremlin contradicted those comments.

Dan Bongino, the conservative podcaster named deputy director of the FBI, has spent years publicly criticizing the agency he will now help run, pushing conspiracy theories about corrupt FBI leadership and agents who were out to get President Donald Trump.

Trump’s attack on Zelensky exposes his warped view of democracy — one that empowers autocrats and weakens real democracies, writes Khusanboy Kotibjonov in his op-ed.

MORE: Kremlin officials formally rejected the possibility of a ceasefire on any terms other than the complete capitulation of Ukraine and the West on February 24, further underscoring Russia's unwillingness to make compromises during future peace negotiations. (1/2) isw.pub/UkrWar022425

U.S. President Donald Trump’s negotiation strategy in Afghanistan resulted in a “capitulation” to the Taliban and abandoning U.S. allies. Experts see strong parallels to how he’s dealing with Russia today, writes Andrea Januta.

Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)

En naderde de Russische grens.. Let wel, dit is de eerste keer dat er een signaal richting de Russen gaat. De tactische reden is me nog niet helemaal duidelijk, maar dit is toch best een dingetje..

Een spaak in het wiel van de Amerikaanse roversbende. De Europese leiders in Kyiv en de geweldige persconferentie van Macron en Trump zetten de toon.

🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️The US will supply weapons to Ukraine until 2026, thanks to contracts that Biden administration concluded with US defense companies before he left the presidency, — WSJ

De wereldorde wordt voor onze ogen aan flarden geschoten. Maar beste Europese politici, letten jullie ook even op wie er voor stemmen. Wie Ruslands invasie veroordelen? De scheiding met de Verenigde Staten biedt ook kansen, zie bijvoorbeeld Indonesië en Nigeria die de Russische invasie veroordelen.

Day 1098 of the full-scale war in #Ukraine. Day 37 of Agent Orange's destruction of everything which made America great, which Putin ordered to be destroyed. Here's the daily thread for Tuesday, as Ukraine has to battle against two enemies. Wish them luck!

a (very timely) reminder of the legacy of germany’s partition:

Voor de avondploeg: hiddebouwmeester.nl/drie-jaar-ru... 3 jaar geleden begon de barbaarse oorlog tegen Oekraïne. Nu we aan het derde jaar zijn begonnen, lijkt het erop dat Trump Oekraïne de schuld wil geven en Rusland wil belonen. In wat voor absurde film zijn we beland? Delen wordt gewaardeerd.

“Trump’s meetings with Putin and Zelensky will happen very soon, especially with Zelensky,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “He wants to finalize a deal and expects Zelensky to sign it. Ukraine wouldn’t exist as a country without us,” she stated. www.foxnews.com/video/636928...

Vance zegt dat de VS nu "alleen vrienden zullen zijn met landen die de waarden van de president delen" De VS is dus officeel een schurkenstaat..

Great signal, symbolic..

3 jaar geleden vond de grootste militaire operatie op het Europese continent plaats sinds D-Day. Rusland heeft daarbij een precedent geschapen voor de internationale rechtsorde, de wereldorde die sinds 1945 bestond en er inmiddels niet meer is. Never again is nu.

Zoals vaker gezegd: op cruciale momenten verkiezen populisten altijd de belangen van het Kremlin boven die van Europa en Nederland.

Wat een laffe hazen bij de VVD. Faber laat verbaal en non-verbaal ondubbelzinnig zien dat haar loyaliteit bij Rusland en niet bij Oekraïne ligt. Ze zou per direct het kabinet uitgelazerd moeten worden.

De president met de psychische huishouding van een driejarige heeft ook weer wat te melden. Als ik een Canadees was, zou ik in de supermarkt alle 🇺🇸 producten boycotten. Ik zou, als ik Trudeau was, ook de 🇺🇸 ambassadeur op het matje roepen. Wie denkt deze imperialist eigenlijk wel dat hij is?

At the Munich Security Conference, the focus was clear: Europe must act fast. Ukraine’s innovation in tech, especially in electronic warfare and drones, can secure Europe’s future.

Ukraine resolution at the UN called Russia an aggressor and demands the full withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders. The United States, Israel, and Russia voted against it. Every free democratic country around the globe voted in favour. #EndImpunity

Idee stond in The Economist overigens. Ik zag dat bericht van Trump over “gouverneur Trudeau” en dan kookt je bloed van woede. Canada is een soevereine natie en dat heeft de VS te respecteren. Geen plek voor imperialistische bullebakken! Nu moeten we samen sterk zijn tegen China, Rusland en de VS.🇨🇦

Een podcaster wordt adjunct van de FBI (NOS) of een 'far-right podcaster die opriep niet mee te werken aan onderzoek door de FBI (MSNBC) wordt adjunct van de FBI? Ik denk dat het tweede wat duidelijker maakt hoe gevaarlijk de keus van Trump is. nos.nl/artikel/2557... / www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

For Trump, it's all and only about money. He stressed that the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal is about getting America’s money back, calling it an “Economic Partnership” to recoup billions sent to Ukraine. He also hints at economic deals with Russia as part of his push to end the war.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 Macron: We are ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine.

Amerika is definitief geen onderdeel meer van de internationale democratieën. Oh en ik wil Israël ook niet meer horen over dat ze bij de democratische wereld horen en tegelijkertijd een wit voetje bij Poetin en Trump komen halen. Een groot deel van de wapens van Hamas komen uit Rusland.
