Yes, this is definitely the first case in human history that a nation bleeding out under attack has a knife by its throat from yesterday’s biggest friend in need that went bonkers and switched to Al Capone-style racketeering amid war.

Next time you hear someone saying there needs to be peace in Ukraine at any cost, send them this link, which explains in harrowing detail exactly how Trump is empowering Russia to continue and enlarge the war in the imminent future: www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

I can understand that Trump wants to deliver 'peace' in Ukraine as one of his main campaign promises. I can understand that he needs 'a victory' for his electorate. What I can't understand is why he is saving Russia exactly at the moment when it is really struggling in the war and lost 100k soldiers

If you call Zelensky a dictator, you're insulting the entire Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are literally famous for toppling dictators. This war is happening precisely because they ousted one 11 years ago, and they've been bleeding terribly for it ever since.

Excellent 🧵. I was thinking this just the other day - can we have some more white-and-grey morality in our fantasy fiction, rather than just black-and-grey?

Trump has been calling Zelensky a dictator. Not only is this incorrect (if Ukraine has not held elections recently, it's because their constitution forbids it during martial law) - it's Trump parroting an information campaign the Russians began LAST APRIL. See: understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

A Catalan folk band??? made a resistance fighter song about the Emu War?? with a Minecraft video, apparently? If you know about the Emu War (winners: the emus; losers: the Australian Defence Forces) then please bless your ears with this www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5pq...

Cool, Putin gets premium treatment as a revered dear partner as well as everything he has stolen and even much more -- Ukraine gets a spit in the face, an extorted $500 billion bill, no security guarantees, and a new Russian offensive to kill it as soon as Russia is ready. The Art of the Deal.

in the past four days I have: - fled home to avoid a very nearby bushfire - become an auntie to what unexpectedly turned out to be the cutest niece in the world - road tripped to attend my goddaughter's birthday - caught a book fair for the first time in years - strayed out of thought & time

I've been saying by this for weeks: stick a fork in the pax Americana, it's done. The past 3 weeks have only confirmed what the past 8 years already indicated - that the US is no longer the leader of the free world. Of course, it may take decades for the Americans themselves to realise this...

Ngl my inner drama critic has been AGOG to see exactly how and when the Trump/Musk alliance collapses Because it WILL collapse. Trump is no Putin and has no experience managing oligarchs. And Musk is one far-too-powerful oligarch. The whole arrangement is fundamentally unstable

One of the ways THE RINGS OF POWER makes LOTR 10x more fun is that in TROP Galadriel won't give Sauron the time of day no matter the puppy eyes he gives her while in LOTR she's totally cool with Gimli's courtly-love-coded adoration

Radio Free Europe/Voice of America probably did more than any other western institution to rip down the Iron Curtain and now they're telling the truth to thousands of people living under right wing dictatorships/occupation in Eastern Europe - no wonder Musk wants them gone
