Republicans are lining up to denounce Zelensky because their base was seduced by a cranky old racist with a fondness for dictators. Just wild how the whims, prejudices, and weird obsessions of a senile 78-year-old have completely supplanted the party’s priorities — and reshuffled the world order.

On Twitter, Canadian Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre gives his strongest statement on Ukraine to date. To my knowledge most previous statements made by MPs Bezan/Chong. Poilievre has avoided foreign policy as a topic generally & this is a big change in tone. Also getting murdered in the comments

Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.

The Cold War developed into a non-shooting war/standoff through a very specific set of circumstances that evolved where the goal was to NOT initiate a major war. We are not moving towards a Cold War but rather towards a very hot war simply because too many people think there is a "win" to be had

This is becoming a Matt Taibbi factcheck account… 🙃 A massive alt-media retcon has been happening re: Russia, which you are seeing reflected in the lies that Trump has begun to tell about Ukraine. The strategy is to discredit established facts, smear messengers, & create alternate realities. 1/4

It's equal parts nauseating and funny to see these guys talking about "strength" and "courage" and "standing up" while engaging in the kind of pathetic, servile, "yes-my-baron" ritual groveling rarely seen by men not wearing literal gimp suits.

Journalists, please do not describe what happened at the White House today as a "spat", "heated exchange" or as Zelensky-Trump "going at each other". Zelensky was ambushed by Vance while very calmly explaining why Ukraine needs security guarantees and doesn't trust a ceasefire...

Zelensky cannot deliver a bad peace. A corrupt leader could maybe give them the pretense of Kyiv and a corridor (a la Soviets in Afghanistan), but it would be deadly. The Ukrainians will fight however until liberation. Trump and Vance don't understand such a character.

It seems many of the firings at the IRS (NOT all) have been about consolidation. So, a kid with whom I work has a mom who was retained and gained a bunch of new missions and people. In a Teams meeting with the full group, one of those people shot themselves…on camera. Feeling like 1929?

This, from @shashj.bsky.social, has been rarely put to print in ongoing debates about various Euro-deterrent proposals. I’d posit that while this does reflect a traditional US view on the relationship between damage limitation and credible extended deterrence, good can manifest without the perfect.

An embarrassed Vance lashed out because Zelenskyy rightly told him Putin has shown he can’t be trusted to respect a cease fire or peace deal — and pointed out Vance has never set foot in Ukraine.

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

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.
