Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:
December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.
February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.
July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.
February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.
U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.
~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.
The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.
America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.
Slava Ukraina.
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

500 Millionen Europäer🇪🇺 benötigen 340 Millionen Amerikaner🇺🇸, um sich gegen 140 Millionen Russen🇷🇺 zu verteidigen, die es in 3 Jahren nicht geschafft haben, 35 Millionen Ukrainer🇺🇦 zu besiegen.
#Europa, Du bist armselig.
Russlands Drohungen mit dem Einsatz von Nuklearwaffen lähmen den Westen. Die eigentliche und wirksamste Waffe Putins ist somit diese Propaganda. Der Westen sollte sich nicht bluffen lassen und die Ukraine entschiedener unterstützen. https://t.co/H54BRkEeyE
Frankreich, Niederlande, Polen, Tschechien und viele weitere EU-Mitgliedsstaaten wollen irreguläre Migration endlich beenden. Das EU-Recht funktioniert nicht, die politische Stabilität ganz Europas wankt. Deutschland muss jetzt politische Führung übernehmen und eine Koalition der Willigen für eine Ende irregulärer Migration, sichere Außengrenzen und eine Drittstaaten-Lösung schmieden.
Der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin droht dem Westen mit Nuklearwaffen, um weitere Waffenlieferungen an die Ukraine zu verhindern – nicht zum ersten Mal. https://t.co/Jm36ZmFIzP
