@mikepompeo Correction: the U.S. used to be better than this… clearly, it isn’t anymore.
How could anyone ever forget American soldiers rolling out a red carpet for a modern-day Hitler?
Ukrainian producer and servicewoman Viktoriia Bobrova, callsign “Kvitka” (flower) has died in the war.
She worked in film before joining the military and later documented frontline life with the “Edelweiss” brigade.
“Forever young and beautiful,” her mother wrote.
Ukrainian Defender Andrii Lysakov has been missing for 745 days, since April 2024.
His mom, Mrs Larysa, kept going to rallies, demonstrations, fought for her son's return. Today, Andrii finally returned to his mom.
The United States has just nuked its own arms export business. Not with a missile. With a phone call.
Pete Hegseth rang Estonia’s defense minister and told him the HIMARS and Javelin deliveries are on hold.
Indefinitely. Months, not weeks. No timeline. No alternative. Just: sorry, we’re busy bombing Iran.
And that’s it. Twenty years of patient alliance-building, vaporized in a Monday morning call.
Here’s what European defense planners now know for certain: American weapons come with an asterisk. The asterisk reads “subject to cancellation whenever Washington decides its own adventure takes priority.”
You can sign the contracts. You can train your soldiers. You can build your entire defensive posture around US systems. And then one day, the ammo stops. No warning. No plan B.
Estonia is already shopping elsewhere. So is everyone else, with the kind of focus that only comes from genuine betrayal.
The Americans think this is a pause. Europe knows it’s a divorce.
KASPAROV: Trump keeps ignoring American public opinion to support Ukraine. It’s tragic that United States openly siding with Russia.
Look at United Nations. It’s shame beyond imagination. America never votes with Ukraine and European allies. It always sides with Russia, Belarus, Nicaragua, and North Korea.
America’s reputation has been damaged so badly that I’m not sure the next president alone will be able to recover it.
It will probably take a long time before people restore their confidence in America — country that was beacon of hope and garden of democracy in the days when I grew up as a kid on other side of Iron Curtain in Soviet Union.
If Zelenskyy is warning us that Russia might attack the Baltics, I think he probably has a pretty good reason. As a Balt, I am surprised that many of us are treating Zelenskyy’s warning with contempt, while I myself understand where he is coming from.
Some accuse Zelenskyy of spreading narratives that help Russia. Well, I very much doubt he is trying to help Russia, and I don’t think he would take that risk lightly.
Some say he is pushing a fake scare story to focus the West’s attention on supporting Ukraine. But Ukraine has been deprived of that support for a long time, and has unfortunately learnt to live without it. I don’t think he is playing games. I find it more likely that he is offering his honest analysis to his friends.
Anybody feeling instinctive anger whenever the issue of a possible Russian attack against a Baltic State is raised should have a think about these three questions:
1. Are we sure Putin has no good reasons to attack NATO? He only needs one, and it doesn’t need to be as ambitious as a full invasion and annexation. He might be thinking that a small incursion could fracture our alliance and reboot his popularity at home by providing a win for his war machine. He could use his reserves or divert some troops from Ukraine, which he sees is a much harder nut to crack than the Baltics. Are we certain that he isn’t even tempted to try?
2. If not the Baltics, then where? Even though the Baltic States have raised defence spending as a percentage of GDP to the highest levels in NATO, we remain vulnerable while the effect of that boost comes online. We have no conscription like the Finns, the German brigade won’t be here for at least a year, our militaries are less developed than other potential NATO targets, so why wouldn’t Putin choose us?
3. And are we 100% certain that Article 5 is still deterring Russia as much as it used to? Even if we still believe in the “ironclad commitment” of our allies, any expert would have to admit that some of our main allies are somewhat distracted right now while others have only recently started rebuilding their militaries. Should Putin wait until Europe gets stronger? Or until US attention returns to Europe?
Zelenskyy has good reason to doubt that the West would suddenly experience a surge of bravery if a second country in the East were attacked now, NATO member or not.
So I’m sorry, but this is why I see where Zelenskyy is coming from. The Baltics could be the target, Putin might be tempted, and our allies are currently in a tough spot. The window of opportunity is open.
My suggestion to my fellow Baltic statesmen is this: Instead of getting flustered, get ready.
Prepare contingency plans, learn Ukrainian survival techniques fast, and think about how to quickly extend the Ukrainian defence umbrella over the Baltic Sea — if indeed the merde does hit the ventilator.
Ukrainian Defenders have just returned from the frontline after 7.5 months of continuous duty in the trenches.
The video shows them right after coming off their positions. The exhaustion on their faces is clear to see - it is the look of men who have lived through months of hell and are only now, for the first time, able to catch their breath.
Respect to our Defenders. Welcome back!
Thank you Ukraine!
I sure wish our Vice President would acknowledge how deeper partnership with Ukraine advances US interests rather than bragging about cutting off military assistance to Ukraine.
Sickening act of Jew-hatred and Holocaust distortion in Poland, as lawmaker @KonradBerkowicz stands up in Parliament on YOM HASHOAH, holding an Israeli flag with a swastika and comparing the Jewish state to Nazi Germany!
As always, a good and productive meeting with Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore.
We discussed in detail our cooperation in the production and use of drones. Our experience is already being used in the Middle East and the Gulf. We are improving defense against “shahed” drones, and we believe this should also be done in Europe. Today, for this purpose, we initiated a Drone Deal with Norway and signed a Joint Declaration on Enhanced Defense and Security Cooperation. Now our teams will work out the details.
We also focused on our joint production projects and cooperation priorities for this year, and not only in defense. We continue to work together with partners to strengthen our countries.
I personally thank Jonas, Norway, and all Norwegians for their military and energy support for Ukraine, for strengthening our air defense, and for their readiness to continue support for the PURL initiative. We feel your support and are sincerely grateful for it.
Here's how Muslim-majority countries treat their Christian populations:
🇸🇴 SOMALIA
No churches exist. Converts from Islam face death. Al-Shabaab is committed to eradicating Christianity entirely.

Now largely controlled by HTS — an Islamic extremist group with roots in Al-Qaeda. Christian population has collapsed from 1.5 million to 300,000.
🇳🇬 NIGERIA
More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militias operate freely. The government has largely failed to prosecute perpetrators.
🇵🇰 PAKISTAN
🔸 Christians are 1.8% of the population but absorb ~25% of blasphemy accusations — which carry a death sentence.
🔸 Mob lynchings of accused Christians are common. Entire Christian neighborhoods have been torched.
🔸 Christian girls are kidnapped, forcibly converted, and married off. Courts often back the perpetrators.
🇱🇾 LIBYA
No functioning government to protect Christians. Foreign Christians are kidnapped and killed by Islamist groups. No legal protections exist.
🇮🇷 IRAN

🇮🇶 IRAQ
The Christian population has collapsed from 1.2 million in 2011 to just 120,000 in 2024 — driven by ISIS genocide. Christians are described as "close to extinction."
🇩🇿 ALGERIA

Russian Forces drop mines from UAVs on the public roads in Ukrainian cities.
The mines are disguised as normal things you can find on the road randomly. The magnet trigger detonates the warhead when cars pass by.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will once again forgo a meeting of roughly 50 countries supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Elbridge Colby will virtually attend the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting this week instead of Hegseth.

🚨BREAKING: The IDF has discovered and destroyed another 4 underground terror tunnels in Gaza, around 800 meters long.
Gazans used billions of dollars to build terror tunnels to kidnap and murder Jews.
Israel will destroy every last one.
