The U.S. made a deadly error when we collectively permitted Elon Musk to grow this powerful while constantly declining to enforce the law on him.

Putin doesn't want to end the war without taking all of Ukraine. Ukraine has been saying this from the start. No matter how much Trump tries to bribe him. Trump is just trying to bum rush Ukraine into signing over half their wealth knowing he won't bring peace. He doesn't care who owns the other 1/2

Despite the endless Western excuses for russian society, 3yrs in, it’s obvious this is the mainstream russian position: « We hope [Russia] will be victorious. We want Ukraine's total capitulation." And ofc that’s Putin’s aim too. That’s why Trump can’t.. apple.news/A6ZistPqeT2K...

80+ drones over Ukrainian airspace. Russians are butthurt that their 3 day invasion is now close to 3 years. Over 100 drones are expected. Also, additional missile strikes.

That's a good reaction by Ukraine. Even if one accepts Trump "wanting the money back" (which is wrong morally, strategically, and even analytically), 100 bn $ is the highest figure that the U.S. can validly claim based on official U.S. data

A clear proof that the United States is fundamentally hostile to Ukraine: they propose an extremely unfair and exploitative deal, pressure like mad for it to be signed immediately (why the rush?), and immediately punish the hesitation by worsening the terms. The United States is a mafia state.

A fascist Russian/Iranian Shahed flying bomb audible from my home. Not very near, but not far enough away. Sleepless night in Kyiv as a swarm if Russian killer drones sweeps into the city.

Putting emotions on the back burner and acting together, in a coordinated manner is exactly what we need right now. Ukrainian people who are already exhausted by the war are under a very strong emotional pressure right now. This is not the first such occasion during this war.

The sounds that we hear outside our windows almost every night now as air defense works to take down the russian/iranian drones circle Kyiv region. It shouldn’t become the norm, we shouldn’t be used to this, I hate to say that it has. #russiaisaterroriststate

Putin has directed his Cabinet of Ministers to prepare for the return of Western companies to the Russian market, stating that domestic firms should maintain "certain advantages" over those seeking to resume operations.

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

I'd guess this "offer" came with some serious, undisclosed threats too. Probably personally to Ze and broadly to Ukraine's future. This is not a negotiation, but extortion.

It's about the Power Ministries. And their internal use. JAGs give it away. NatCon/MAGA already decapitating FBI. Signal a FSB political transformation. DoJ, too. DHS, ICE, prepared to deputize Local LEOs. Gabbard at ODNI, Ratcliffe at CIA. Hegseth ideological policing of military. In 4 weeks.

Across East Central Europe, Russia "found many long-standing national disputes and a patchwork of conflicting national claims in being; it did not invent them… it has manipulated them ruthlessly to enhance its own monolithic control and to strengthen its chosen instrument of local rule.” — 1951

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

magine in the 1770s and 1780s the French suddenly questioning the revolutionary war of the Americans against the British, questioning whether they can defeat the British, threatening to end all support and even suggesting that the Royal Army may keep New York and other major cities in North America.
