I sent out this piece yesterday. Trump's final plan is basically Russia's plan, which would legitimize Russian conquests and provide Russia the best possible situation in which to rebuild its military--while giving Ukraine nothing. Europe needs to stand with Ukraine now.

Sickening and shameful that America is now, for all intents and purposes, thanks to the corrupt Trump regime, allied to this monstrous and evil dictatorship that routinely kills innocent civilians, bombs churches and hospitals, and inflicts suffering on others for no good reason. Way to go, MAGA!

Russian terrorists are conducting a ferocious aerial attack on Ukraine with the full backing of the Musk-Trump regime. The rest of Europe sits on their asses, year after year, refusing to shelter the skies.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Russia is the aggressor. It is Russia's war. Until the United States recognizes reality it cannot be a mediator, conduct negotiations or participate in any peace process. It's impossible to ignore Russia's culpability and practice diplomacy.

When I was 22 years old, I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. The only oath Elon Musk seems to have made is to his billionaire buddies and his own bank account.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Fascist russia was invading Ukraine for every day Trump occupied the White House from 2017 to 2021. He could have easily ended the war and prevented Russia's broad offensive of 2022. Trump is a liar and a Russian asset. Here are my tweets from Feb 20th of each year.

Choices are: - a pause for Russia to recover economically and rearm, US security guarantees in Europe weakened, more war - large expansion of democratic Europe's military power, Ukraine's economy strengthened and its army resupplied

Trump hands Putin a Munich triumph @philipstephens.bsky.social philipstephens.substack.com/p/trump-hand...

Europe, wake up and get real. We have to be able to stop militarily a Russian attack on the border states - Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland within 6 months to 2 years. Due to the end of US guarantees for Europe and no US guarantees to Ukraine, this will happen unless we to deter it.

Trump, as Putin´s faithful agent, wants to hand over a victory over Ukraine to Russia.

At the last anniversary of Brexit, Nigel tried to put some “tough”questions to me. It kinda fell flat. So he tried to talk over me… and didn’t invite me back.

⚡️ American director David Lynch, creator of Twin Peaks, has passed away at 78. In 2022, following Russia’s full-scale invasion, Lynch expressed support for Ukraine in an iconic video address to Putin.

Now that Ukraine has become very active in the Kursk region, we would like everyone that hasn't found us on BlueSky, to be aware of the latest updates. Therefore, we would like to ask you to share this post in order to reach as many people as possible. Let's aim for 75.000 followers 👍

Good news. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Finally deactivated X account.

Elon Musk openly supports Germany's fascist #AfD. Therefore, this is a good time to call on all supporters of #FBPE to leave Twitter as soon as possible and move to BlueSky! Pro-EU Europeans do not belong on a social medium run by a fascist. Just check the reaction of #AfD's Alice Weidel!

The most depressing thing for me from the last 3 years is that some people seem angry at Ukrainians for wanting to fight for their whole country and their freedom.

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

Agree with Franz here & will reiterate: A ceasefire for sake of ceasefire isn’t enough & is short-sighted. Russia will regroup, rearm & attack again. It’s in US & EU interests to help Ukraine & in fact go beyond what it’s provided already to secure a lasting peace with real security assurances.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely

Censorship is a form of information manipulation. In the last 1000+ days, kremlin's near-total choke hold on free flow of info has twisted the reality for russians, enabling russia's war against Ukraine. #DontBeDeceived and #StandWithUkraine euvsdisinfo.eu/1000-and-400...

EM Chair, @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social said: “Brexit has made working in the EU so much harder for those working in the industry. We need the government to move forward as soon as possible with its pledge to cut the red tape around touring visas. It needs to be done now.”

The ruble is tumbling. In continuing his idiotic war, Putin has banked his future on Trump coming to the rescue.

Finally some good news www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Let's check in on Russia's ongoing economic collapse. -3% every day now.

If you don't stand with Ukraine, we can't be friends. If you don't 100% oppose Putin's fascist invasion of Ukraine, your moral compass is broken, you're a terrible person, and you would have sided with Hitler in WW2. #Putin #Fascism #NAFO #Ukraine #WW3 worldwar3.substack.com/p/putin-is-a...

I wish Bluesky had a block button on each post. That was a feature I used the most on Twitter.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks snyder.substack.com/p/a-third-wo...

Excellent thread on Russian propaganda through the ages.

Great article from Simon Tisdall www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

If you are in the UK, please sign.

The petition is now at 44,000 and the government have responded (with their usual position). Keep pushing on to 100,000 signatures though, as that secures a parliamentary debate. There have been debates about Brexit but this would be the first one about rejoining.

I am proud to be among the signatories, but what matters is not who signed, but whether governments recognise what's at stake in Ukraine & act on the recommendations. If Russia ends up in a better situation strategically than in Feb 2022, Ukraine won't be Putin's last victim.
