Trump’s inner circle secretly discussed elections in Ukraine with Zelensky’s opponents. Talks with Tymoshenko & Poroshenko allegedly focused on elections after a temporary truce but before peace negotiations. Publicly, both oppose elections before the war ends. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

“I want to believe the US will stand by our side, but we have to be ready for that not to be the case” French President Emmanuel Macron speaks to his nation in a televised address

OTD in 1944 the Red Air Force carpet bombed Narva, then Red Army used artillery to finish the job. As a deliberate act, hundreds of civilians died & thousands were made refugees. We then repopulated it with Russians. Imagine something like this happening in the 21st century.

🕯️🇺🇦 4 people were killed and 31 others were injured in a Russian missile strike on a hotel in Kryvyi Rih on the evening of March 5.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 The US has suspended all intelligence on Ukraine, so France is offering its intelligence to Kyiv, — Lecornu

This is next level! 💥

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, but only if they pay me 5 million dollars for my instant-citizenship Gold Card.💰” -Comrade Krasnov #GrifterInChief

🙏 "Before the attack on the hotel in Kryvyi Rih, volunteers from one of the humanitarian organizations - citizens of Ukraine, the US, UK - lived there. They survived because they managed to get out of their rooms," — Zelensky

Chamberlain appeased Hitler in 1938, when he didn't know for certain that there would be a larger war - and not three years later, when hundreds of thousands of people had already died

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes

You done pissed off the nice guys

JD Vance is erasing from history the hundreds of British troops who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

US launches economic war on its allies, itself, and its place in the world; Russia and China cannot believe their luck … www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Damn…part of me wishes Zelenskyy would just tell the 🍊💩Gibbon to fuck all the way off. 💔

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

NEW: This is brilliant from Trudeau. "Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner & ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying, murderous dictator. Make that makes sense." 💥

Chris Murphy: "Let's remember- congressional Republicans held up Ukraine aid for over 6 months, allowed for Russia to go on the offensive. So even before Donald Trump was president, congressional Republicans were not doing the things necessary to support the most vital fight in defense of democracy"

next chancellor of germany friedrich merz: trump admin meeting with zelenskyy “was not a spontaneous reaction to interventions by zelenskyy, but obviously a manufactured escalation.”

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

"Russia is the aggressor, Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded, and we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin!" - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

457 British soldiers were killed in Afghanistan after going to war to support America after America was attacked on 9/11. Has Trump ever said thank you? Trump and Vance insult all of us.

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

If the US cuts funding for Ukraine, it will have nothing to do with Zelenskyy and everything to do with Trump's weakness. Trump has no plans to end the war and WILL NOT standup to Putin. I wrote the US would cut support to Ukraine in the epilogue of my new book written just days after the election.

⚡️Trump administration weighs sanctions relief for Russia, Reuters reports. The White House has directed the State and Treasury departments to compile a list of sanctions that could be lifted, according to sources.

Catherine from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.

“Zelenskyy is the real thing. He stayed in Kyiv, when Russian forces were closing in & the city was under bombardment. Vance, by contrast, chose to move to an undisclosed location when confronted with a few hecklers on a skiing trip this weekend” www.ft.com/content/2e90...

words I never imagined writing in my lifetime..... General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Nato deputy supreme allied commander in Europe, has told Times Radio: "I think we have to assume, after the events of the last 10 days, that we cannot in any way count on America as an ally"

After we published a public audit on Saturday, Elon Musk’s DOGE deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts,” wiping out an additional $4 billion in so-called savings that the group had claimed to secure for U.S. taxpayers.

DO IT

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Who is going to read all these emails containing sensitive Pentagon information? Is DOGE outsourcing that to Musk's friends in China? Sharing such data would have been treason not long ago, now it’s going into the public domain by order?

Trump can't be trusted, and will always side with Putin. And Ukraine is doing better than you think (last May, the Washington Post claimed the strategically important town of Chasiv Yar was about to fall to Russia- but Ukraine is still there

If you think Putin's agenda sounds similar to Trump's, there's a reason for that. Both are trying to distract from the economic looting by their respective oligarchies. Watch this video I put out just a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-nO8cBD79k

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Three years ago, Russia rolled into Ukraine with massive tank convoys, expecting victory in three days. Now, they’re sending troops on horseback. Russia isn’t winning—unless we let them.

I’m starting to think Trump and Vance are just taking foreign policy notes from Russian trolls on X and Truth Social—because at this point, they’re basically Medvedev with worse hair.

🚨 Hungary just BLOCKED EU security guarantees for Ukraine and new military aid! 👉 If Hungary 🇭🇺 loves Putin so much, they can leave the EU and NATO. No one will miss them.

Trumps administration are now threatening democracy change 🤔 Think about it, democratically elected President Zelensky is being threatened by the Trump administration. I mean who does that? Other than Putin The bunker midget must be putting some serious pressure on the Don.

👇

I wrote this before the Oval Office performance, but really, there is nothing to add. It's all still true.

Stopping cyber operations while the Russians aggressively pursue theirs is another unearned accommodation. Historically, Russia banks concessions and pushes harder. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

Good night, dear friends. See you tomorrow. 📹 This is the man they attempted to humiliate in the Oval office. Zelenskyy will be remembered as a leader of resilience and honor, who stood firm in the face of his country’s darkest hours. His courage and dedication will leave a lasting mark on history.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy about resigning: "I have said that I am exchanging for NATO membership, then it means I have fulfilled my mission. NATO means I have fulfilled my mission."

BREAKING: “They have been invaded by Russia. This is Russian aggression and the quickest way to end this conflict is Russia to stop the aggression and we need to be really clear about that” Prime Minister Keir Starmer 👏

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.
