Putin indiscriminately butchers more Ukrainian civilians, killing and injuring 100 in Kyiv including children. And what is his reward under the latest peace proposals?
1. The right to keep sovereign Ukrainian territory he has taken by violence and in breach of international law.
2. The right to control Ukraine’s destiny by forbidding Nato membership
3. The lifting of sanctions against Russia
4. An economic partnership with America.
5. The chance to rebuild his armed forces for the next attack in a few short years’ time.
As for Ukraine - what do they get after three years of heroic resistance against a brutal and unprovoked invasion? What is their reward for the appalling sacrifices they have made - for the sake, as they have endlessly been told, of freedom and democracy around the world?
Apart from the right to share their natural resources with the United States they get nothing.
What is there in this deal that can realistically stop a third Russian invasion? Nothing.
If we are to prevent more atrocities by Putin then we must have a long term, credible and above all properly funded security guarantee for Ukraine - a guarantee issued by the UK, the US and all western allies.
Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵
@TrentTelenko If you want and objective historical comparison:

But i'm guessing you wont Care. Unbelievable that People vote for some who wanted to overthrow the gouvernement, who used Ukraine aid for political games, a fraud, a liar, a Wannabe dictator etc.
@TrentTelenko I really hope you are joking.18 Nobel Prize-winning economists have recommended Kamala because Trump's plans would be very pernicious for the economy. Almost all recessions in the past were under Republicans (10/11). The economy almost always did better under democrats.
@KamalaHarris Meanwhile Trump is showing his adoration again for dictators. and yet his base believe he is the pro freedom party

Donald Trump: “Venezuela is right now being run by a dictator...If you look at Caracas, it was known for being a very dangerous city, and now it’s very safe... It’s safer than many of our cities.”
WOW.
History Dr. Timothy Snyder just completely debunked and embarrassed Marjorie Taylor Greene after she kept pushing the narrative of Nazis in Ukraine.
“On the question of Nazis, I’ve written two books as a historian about Nazis and the holocaust. On the question of Ukrainian nationalism, I am the leading scholar of that subject in North America. I’ve been writing about it for 20 years.
"If the chamber is interested in the degree of far right participation in Ukrainian politics, you can be assured that no far right party has every surpassed 3% in a Ukrainian election. So of course there are bad people in any country but by any comparative standard, it’s a very small phenomenon.
"In Russia, on the other hand, the army includes openly Nazi formations… The government, itself, is fascist in character, and is carrying out a war that includes the deportation of children by the 10s of thousands, the open intention of destroying a state, as well as mass torture.
"So if we’re looking for fascism, and if there is anyone who is sincerely concerned about halting fascism or racism, you’d look to halt Russia."
Donald Trump called John McCain a “loser.”
He let Putin get away with placing bounties on the heads of our troops.
He called fallen soldiers “suckers.”
It's a pattern. And it proves just how unfit he is to be commander in chief.
HOW EUROPEAN CHINA POLICY FAILED
Chinese troops just landed in Belarus for the joint exercise, July 8-19.
Belarus is a Russian puppet state, they practise attacking European NATO countries. Belarus also hosts Russian nuclear weapons aimed at NATO countries, Russian state often publicly threatens nuclear destruction of European nations.
So Chinese military is now part of these Russia-led strategic efforts to attack Europe. Yes, Chinese military is unlikely to directly attack European NATO nations, but it is clearly helping Russia in their preparations.
Yet, most EU national leaders continue the failed greedy policy pretending to be appeasement.
German, French, Hungarian or Polish leaders kneel to Chinese dictator and beg him for more contracts to increase European economic dependency on China while China directly (on a huge material scale) supports Russian destruction of Ukraine and Russian preparations for war with NATO countries.
Europe does this greedy polocy for many years and what is the result? China is helping Russia strategically to prepare for a war against Europe.
What else to call this policy than strategic stupidy?
China must be pressured hard, sanctioned hard for its support of Russian war crimes.
That is the only way how to at least try to prevent a global war - China must feel European strenght so it stops its path to global war (which Russia does the first phase of in Europe on Chinese behalf for now).
Appeasement always fails since dictators understand it as weakness.
Deterence is the only way forward but Europe does zero part of it for now.
@tomvangrieken@vlbelang Heulen met Orban, een wannabe dictator die de persvrijheid,democratie en onafhankelijkheid der rechters zwaar heeft vermindert in Hongarije en dikke vriendjes is met Putin. Wete we direct waar Vlaams Belang voor staat..en dan maar afvragen waarom niemand wilt regere met jullie
"If Ukrainians give up, or if we give up on Ukraine, then... we're in 1939. We're in 1938 now. In effect, what Ukrainians are letting us do is extend 1938."
