This is a big mistake to allow the aggressor to take something. It was a big mistake at the very beginning, starting with 2014. And even before that, during the attack and occupation of parts of Georgia. And even before that, when Chechnya was occupied, with total destruction and one million casualties – both killed and wounded.
Many mistakes were made. That's why now I don't want to be the President who will repeat the mistakes made by my predecessors or other people. I'm not just speaking about Ukraine. I'm speaking about the leaders of different countries that allowed an aggressive country like Russia to come onto their territory.
Because you can't stop Putin with your kisses or flowers. I never did it and that's why I don’t feel that it's the right way. My advice to everybody – don’t do that with Putin.
Otherwise, there will be a first step, then in five years, he will rebuild his military, increase the number of soldiers, his army will be well trained. Because he has lost a lot of well-trained people. He is losing 30–35 thousand people per month now.
Can you imagine this in the 21st century? Can you imagine – he’s losing 35,000 each month? I'm not sure that he knows about it.
OTD in 1941 Nazis violated our non aggression pact that totally didn't contain a secret clause to begin a special military operation against USSR who had never attacked anyone
Imagine it today - a country launching invasion to annihilate & commit genocide....
Ukraine has destroyed a huge % of my strategic air force, triggering the 5 stages of my trolls grief:
1 “NATO is aggressive”
2 “A critical red line”
3 “West will face terrible consequences”
4 "Russia is nuclear power"
5 “This is entirely meaningless & changes nothing”
@cfs_lb @farfara_k@jdpoc Ther is nothing about any arested spies, like the original post is telling us.
It's about phone numbers found online and matched. Thats bad ebough - but nothing about a connection to Russian Spies.
Ich habe keine Worte dafür, dass es in meinem Land Menschen gibt, die es für gerechtfertigten Widerstand halten, wenn man ein 9-Monate altes Baby und seinen 4-jährigen Bruder entführt - und nach 500 Tagen in Terror-Geiselhaft mitteilt, man würde sie dann jetzt tot zurückgeben.
Die Rechten haben Angst vor uns. Sie haben Angst die Deutungshoheit zu verlieren. Sie haben Angst, ihre Macht zu verlieren.
Deswegen: Teilt die Bilder, organisiert Demos, sprecht über Politik.
NIEDER MIT DEM FASCHISMUS!
While 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, combined, own more wealth than the bottom half of America.
Apparently, that’s not enough. Republicans want to give them a massive tax break by slashing Medicaid.
Together, we will stop them.
