The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan.

Are we entering another period of global barbarism?

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine - 500,000 dead.

Netanyahu’s war against the people of Gaza - 72,000 dead.

Trump’s war in Iran - thousands dead already.

🟧United States - decreased by 99%
🟦Europe - increased by 67%

The share of EU-level financial and humanitarian aid allocations grew from around 50 percent in 2022 to almost 90 percent in 2025.

Europe steps up!

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

Putin once again confirmed that the occupation of what he calls “historical lands” is the main goal of his war against Ukraine.

“If Kyiv refuses to engage in a substantive dialogue, Russia will achieve the liberation of its historical lands by military means,” he said.

🇷🇺⚠️ Putin, “Historical Lands,” and the Absurdity of Russian Claims

Putin stated that Russia plans to “liberate its historical lands.” Which, frankly, sounds like Russia announcing a state coup against itself, because I honestly don’t know how else to explain such words. If we speak seriously, Russia’s actual historical lands are barely more than the area around Moscow Oblast.

At the same time, this response to the proposal of a Christmas ceasefire perfectly demonstrates what Russia truly thinks about Christmas. It clearly shows that Russia has no intention of stopping, and that all the so-called “reasons for the war” are nothing more than justifications for the paranoid insanity of the Russian elite.

And if we are already talking about “historical lands,” then when exactly will Russia return Kuban, Rostov, Kursk, Belgorod to Ukraine? When will it compensate for the theft of Transnistria, the Dnipro region, Chełm Land, and Zakerzonnia? That is only if we speak about Ukrainian territories before the Soviet occupation.

But if we go further back, to the period of the Cossack state, when Ukrainians together with Poles captured Moscow, then the question arises: should Moscow belong to Poland?

If we take the period of Kyivan Rus, then Russia should return Novgorod to Ukraine as well.
And if we go even further back, Russia was once part of the Mongol Empire — so should Mongolia reclaim Russia as its historical land?

So which historical period is Russia referring to exactly? Because in all periods except the USSR, Russia was smaller. And even in the USSR, the occupied states retained autonomy and fought for independence, meaning they were not Russian territories. Why is one specific historical period chosen over all others?

By the way, Karelia is Finland, the Kuril Islands are Japan, Siberia is China. Is Russia going to return historical lands to their rightful owners? And what about the stolen independence of Chechnya, Dagestan, Buryatia, and other nations?

I understand that we all signed treaties on the inviolability of borders. But if Russia publicly violates yet another treaty — as it has violated all previous ones — then would it really be unfair for us, Russia’s neighbors, to start reclaiming our historical territories inside Russia itself?

Today, the EU gets lectured about “free speech” for trying to make platforms more transparent… 🇪🇺

Meanwhile, the US is considering blocking entry if your social media looks politically inconvenient 😇

Even travellers from France — no visa required — would have to hand over 5 years of posts.

A very curious way to defend “freedom”, privacy and personal data 🤔
