@nexta_tv Why would someone take the phone to the closed shower cabin with the water on?

@offbeateffect @RealCandaceO I don't support war - I support defence of a nation attacked by my motherland. I am Russian and feel ashamed of my country. Russia is currently suffering from a dictatorship and I think that only Ukrainian victory may liberate also Russia. Now, what is your connection to this?

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@offbeateffect @RealCandaceO Why would I do that? I probably can't anyway, neither by age nor by citizenship. And what on Earth does my personal situation have to do with what is going on in St.Petersburg now? :)

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@offbeateffect @RealCandaceO Especially now. A bit dark and smoky, perhaps.

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@RealCandaceO I hope you enjoy the atmosphere in St. Petersburg today. Air quality fine? No disturbing sounds or oily rain? Please take care and make sure to find the nearest bomb shelter, just in case!

@bumbumfox @CurrentTimeTv А разве она была спровоцирована? Россия напала на Украину 23 февраля 2014 года. На вас не нападали. Вы напали.

@Edward_Kats_1 @dw_russian На самом деле, скорее наоборот. Огромное количество нормальных, обычных людей судят по отбросам. Почему-то.

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@KnownAlex @dw_russian Потому что там трендец, особенно для беженцев. А человек уж если начал бежать, то разумно пытаться добраться до более цивилизованных краев, а не жить в переполненном палаточном лагере в антисанитарии и без работы и перспектив. Это же понятно вроде.

@Marikorn5 @dw_russian Почему?

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@RT_Doc Stupid of Russian fascists trying to appropriate Nicole Kidman. She has written that she "stands with all the brave people in Ukraine". And stupid to lie about Russian culture being cancelled in the West. What is cancelled is support to Russian fascism.

@Jy_Boson @vonderleyen I thought that a follower of Dugin would not know Monty Python and looks like I was right. :) Звериная серьезность выдает ваше духовное убожество.

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@Jy_Boson @vonderleyen I spit in your general direction!

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@provemewrong411 You can only allow yourself to speak out against Putin because you are in the US, not Russia. Try being "pro-Russia" and critical of him while being there. Because there is no "Russian empire". There is a fascist dictatorship plundering Russia and attacking its neighbours.

@DFWFishtail @igorsushko Troll?

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@DFWFishtail @igorsushko Europe are the only ones currently paying for Ukrainian defence.

[Pan Stepan @PanStepan4]

@RMelmac96933 @igorsushko Blaming the victim?

There is no information about where you can vote.
Perhaps this is a deliberate action to make voting difficult!

Temporary Embassy:

@alex_dulacioiu @Microinteracti1 Transport cost zero, but don't they lose lots of money by selling first, buying at market price later?

This is the difference between allied and alone.

These soldiers are going into Iran with half a military.

Iraq in 1991 took seven months. 39 nations. Half a million troops.
British RAF Tornado jets flying deep into Iraq on the first night of the war, hitting airfields and missile sites at low altitude under radar cover, completing over 2,500 sorties across the campaign. 53,000 British troops, the largest UK deployment since the Second World War, including the 1st Armoured Division that punched 290 kilometres into Iraqi territory in 66 hours.

18,000 French troops under Opération Daguet, the second largest European contingent, guarding the left flank of the entire allied advance. French Foreign Legion, marine infantry and armoured units crushing the Iraqi 45th Division and seizing an airfield 150 kilometres inside Iraq in 48 hours. French Jaguar jets flying ground attack missions, Mirage 2000s providing fighter cover overhead.

Canadian naval vessels, CF-18s flying combat air patrols and bombing missions, and Canadian forces attacking retreating Iraqi columns on the Highway of Death.

Italian Tornados conducting strike missions across 42 days of war. Dutch frigates protecting American carriers and battleships in the Gulf, with Patriot missile batteries deployed to Turkey and Israel. The Greek merchant marine moving fuel and equipment across the Mediterranean.

Allies covering $44.5 billion of the war’s total costs.
The combined industrial, maritime and military capacity of the most powerful alliance in human history, pointed at a single objective.

That machine nearly doubled American reach. It shortened the war. It brought soldiers home. Europe and the allies did not just help. They made America unstoppable.

Today, these soldiers are going in without any of it. Into a country with 2-3 million soldiers, ballistic missiles that reach every US base in the region, proxy forces across seven nations, mountainous terrain designed by geography itself. Their allies want to be there. That is what Americans need to understand.

In military bases across Europe, British and French and Norwegian officers who trained alongside these Americans, who shared barracks and missions and years of their lives with them, are following this in silence. They are not celebrating. They are checking their phones. They know exactly what the absence of that coalition means on the ground. They have run the same war games. They have read the same terrain maps. They know what a missing supply chain costs in lives.

They would come. Many of them are desperate to come. The alliance is there. The will is there. The capability is there.

One man made sure the door was closed.

He called NATO a scam. Humiliated allied governments in public. Burned seventy years of strategic trust for applause at rallies. So the British SAS isn’t coming. The Canadian logistics chain isn’t coming. The Dutch frigates aren’t available to a president who told their governments they were freeloaders.

Every missing ally is a longer supply line. Every longer supply line is more exposure. More exposure means more casualties. More casualties mean more years.

This is not Europe’s failure. This is not NATO’s failure. This is the failure of one man who had every ally he needed and chose to burn them instead.

Churchill knew it. He said it plainly: “There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.”

That is the difference between a leader who builds coalitions and a man who burns them. One understands that power multiplies when it is shared. The other mistakes cruelty for strength.

These soldiers deserve those allies beside them. Those allies want to be there. They are worried, and they are grieving.

Trump made sure they can’t come. And somewhere tonight, an American soldier knows it too.

@tombunzel @McFaul Not entirely true. Quite a lot of Russians do support Putin, due to brainwashing and plain ignorance, or being beneficiaries of his rule. We can't know how many exactly, since there is no reliable sociology. But those against him are probably a minority.
