GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump.
While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond.
Several claims made by President Trump have already been debunked. We've included responses from Grok AI for each claim, demonstrating that even Grok refutes the misinformation spread by the president.
In this thread, we will provide geolocated footage as a reminder to everyone that Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of this war.
1)
The United States has not spent $350 billion on this war, nor has it outspent Europe by $200 billion. In fact, European contributions have surpassed those of the US. Moreover, a significant portion of the American military aid (around 90% !) is spend in the US, reinvesting in the US economy.

President Zelensky did not claim that half the American money sent to Ukraine is "missing". He stated that half of the promised funds had not been received, which is a crucial distinction.

Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during wartime, a measure designed to protect the democratic process from foreign interference, particularly given Russia's known capabilities in this area...

President Zelensky is not a dictator, as evidenced by Ukraine's constitutional framework and his commitment to holding elections once hostilities cease. In contrast, it's worth noting that President Putin consistently wins elections in Russia with implausibly high percentages of votes, with opposition that 'falls out of windows", is poisened or jailed, raising questions about the true nature of Russia's electoral process.

President Zelensky has a approval rate above 50% and not 4%. 4% is Russian disinformation.

There was no NATO expansion to the East, as NATO itself cannot expand. Instead, democratic countries independently decide whether they want to become members of the alliance. The process of joining NATO is voluntary and involves multiple steps, including meeting specific requirements and completing a formal application process.
The fact that many of Russia's former neighbors have chosen to seek NATO membership speaks volumes about their perception of Russia and their desire for collective security.
The decision of these nations to pursue NATO membership reflects their sovereign right to determine their own foreign policy and security arrangements. It also indicates a preference for the stability and security guarantees that NATO membership offers, rather than remaining under Russian influence.
Regarding the famous 'promise':
Article 103 of the UN Charter establishes a clear hierarchy in international law. It states that obligations under the UN Charter prevail over obligations under any other international agreement in case of conflict. This supremacy extends beyond just treaties, as it is generally understood to also apply to customary international law.
The hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
1) UN Charter obligations
2) Other treaties and customary international law
3) Non-treaty international texts
4) Political promises or commitments
5) Historical claims
Russia's invasion of Ukraine clearly violates fundamental principles of the UN Charter, including the prohibition on the use of force against the territorial integrity of another state. Any attempts to justify this action based on lower-ranking considerations like political promises or historical claims are legally irrelevant.

I'm assuming most people who commute between Glasgow & Edinburgh don't spend almost £7000 on Edinburgh hotels?
@AnasSarwar does (well not really, we pay the bill for him).
He's not in government, he's not even the opposition - just a 3rd place minority English Party.
BBC Scotland made the Scottish deposit return scheme sound like Armageddon. Have a look at clips from this notorious interview with Martin Geissler on The Sunday Show last year. This fearmongering dross fuelled BBC Scotland headlines for days.
Which story dominated MSM in Scotland today?
A story about a cat ban which isn't happening, or the boss of Labour’s GB Energy admitting a pledge of 1000 jobs for Aberdeen HQ could take 20 years while repeatedly refusing to say when voters can expect £300 off their energy bills?
"It's a f*cking mass grave. They bury men here and then say they're f*cking missing. That's the kind of sh*t going on here."
The video reportedly shows one of the numerous mass graves on the territory of the so-called "LDPR". Diggers work and corpses of Russian soldiers are brought in by trucks.
The true face of Russian territorial gains and Putin's imperialistic ambitions.
Where are the businesses and Unionists who attacked the Scottish deposit return scheme and said only a UK wide scheme would work? Wales won't be included in the new UK Govt scheme. Either this scheme won't work either or they lied about the Scottish scheme being a trade barrier.
