Autocrat Orban: Ukraine will never become a NATO member state. Ukraine is a buffer zone between Russia and NATO. Ukraine's EU membership will be made by the Hungarians. Ukraine's membership would destroy not Hungarian agriculture, but the entire national economy. Truth is not Orban's virtue.

According to the French newspaper Le Point, Trump plans to attend Russia's Victory Day in Moscow on 9 May. Trump thinks what else could he do for Putin? He made a huge impact on Putin by claiming that Ukraine attacked Russia and that a concept “Russia attacked Ukraine” should not be used.

The destruction narrative is appeals because it reduces the complicated truth of political conflict into simple black-and-white picture of good versus evil. If you believe that your opponents try to destroy democracy, you may think only way to save democraty is to resort antidemocratic practices.

Trumpistan's behavior is childish. The US refuses to support a draft UN resolution that would support Ukraine's territorial integrity and condemn Russian aggression. Has Trumpistan become a vassal of Russia?

The prayer approved by Archbishop Elias of the Finnish Orthodox Church, is prepared for for the anniversary of the war in Ukraine. The prayer asks for God's protection for "much-suffering Ukraine." But the Metropolitan rejects the prayer for Ukraine: "Under no circumstances should it be read."

Trumpistan’s situation now. What Trump says is based on Russian disinformation.

I hope that the Ukrainians understand the right thing to do now and do not make a deal with the US before a peace agreement has been reached. The threat is that Trumpistan’s representatives will first agree on the use of natural resources and then on a peace that satisfies only Russia.

” It’s a disgraceful reversal of 80 years of US foreign policy,” said Kori Schake, who was a national security aide to George W. Bush. “Throughout the Cold War, the US refused to legitimate Soviet conquest of the Baltic States, and it gave heart to people fighting for their freedom.”

Academic person who does not want to understand is Heikki Patomäki (Left Union) According to Patomäki, 25,000–50,000 peacekeepers should be sent to Ukraine. He mentions Indonesia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa? So China? India? South Africa? BRICS where to Russia belongs? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trump: ”Ukraine should not have started a war.” What to say about this lie? Trump's expression is the height of stupidity and ignorance, which has been permeated by Russian disinformation. There has never been a president in US history who has unilaterally sided with Russia.

The autocracy's method: Arrest an innocent couple traveling the world. The arrest will bring benefits. This is how Iran, Russia, and China operate. Craig and Lindsay Foreman, who were imprisoned in Iran, have been charged with espionage.

ECFR: The Nordic-Baltic 8 (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden) stands as strong, unified bloc to support Ukraine. Public backing in the NB8 for Ukraine remains sky-high, showing strong support for military aid while pro-Russian parties remain on the sidelines.

Tom Ho-man, Trump’s border czar, confided that he has spoken with the Department of Justice that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York broke the law by educating migrant families on their constitutional rights.🤣 Well, it’s veeeery revolutionary to know your rights based on constitution.

Trump: ”USAiD is corrupted and and incompetent.” Trump must be right when he says so! 😂 USAID is the only organization that softens the US's tough image in developing countries. Trump's intention is to make room for Putin's mercenaries and the Chinese.

It’s downright naive for Trump to imagine that USA can entice Russia to reduce its relations with China. The collaboration between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, as well as African and South American autocracies against democracy is deep and ongoing. It does not change with Trump’s efforts.

When the foundation is missing, it’s difficult to build on it. Gabriel Basso (Night Agent) said his fellow actors should shut the fuck up rather than express their political opinions. Basso must be trumpian, as he doesn’t undestand that in a democracy all have the right to express opinions freely.

Paradox: German far-right party AfD is Putin’s and Trump’s favourite. In Germany there is the huge, unprecedented campaign of Russian troll factories and intelligence services against CDU. And maybe there are secret Russian finance channels to AfD. Putin and Trump want division and chaos in Europe.

Netanyahu is expressing to foreign secretary Runio his satisfaction with Trump's vision, in which Israel will drive the Palestinians out of Gaza and Trump will build a Mediterranean Riviera. The Israeli military probably has a plan to push the Gazans into Egypt.

Netanyahu will not stay in power except through war: Israel carried out an airstrike on the southern part of Gaza on Sunday. Israel's explanation is poor: The Israeli army’s attack targeted armed individuals who had moved towards Israeli forces stationed in the area.

I wouldn't accept one study as the solution to therapy: Online therapy can work as well as face-to-face psychotherapy in treating mild to moderate depression. More research is needed to leave therapy to a machine.

Europe’s basic values ​​are democracy, rule of law, citizens' freedoms and rights, pluralism, rationalism and striving for truth. Vance arrogantly said that EU- authorities' actions against far right and disinformation is undemocratic. It is the far right attacking the democratic values ​​of Europe.
