@krakek1 @KomissarWhipla Paranoia and nukes dont bond well.

[STRATMIL @STRATMIL]

It would be interesting to hear @KomissarWhipla your thoughts on this: is Putin serioysly thinking that Finland is about to invade Russia? Who gives him such ideas?

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

🇷🇺🇫🇮 BREAKING: Putin claimed that Finland had planned to snatch part of Russia:

“What did Finland join NATO for? Did we have any territorial disputes with Finland? No! Everything had long been settled.

Why did they join NATO then? In the hope that everything here would collapse, and they’d swoop in and grab what they could. They’re already building a border along the Sestra River.

I would make certain gestures and say a few things, but since I come from the cultural capital, I’ll refrain.”

“Swoop in and grab.” Sounds like he’s judging everyone by himself, doesn’t it?

[STRATMIL @STRATMIL]

@krakek1 @KomissarWhipla Equally weird.
In many ways.

(Rest assured, there is no intent to invade, take, nor accept any part of Russia here).

Never forget, never forget an American VP @JDVance took time out from his country being at 𝐰𝐚𝐫 to fly over the Atlantic trying to stop Hungarians breaking free from the EU's most corrupt government

Just a few scenes of the absolute joy and freedom yesterday in Budapest👇

As the world celebrates Victory in Europe Day, let us not forget how World War II began — with a deal.

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. This agreement set the stage for the joint destruction of Europe.

Hitler invaded Poland from the west, and Stalin followed from the east. The USSR then attacked Finland, annexed the Baltics, and seized territory from Romania. Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets supplied Nazi Germany with oil, grain, and raw materials — fueling its conquest of Europe.

Stalin was not Hitler’s victim. He was his partner in crime. Together, they ignited a war that would claim over 70 million lives.

Truth matters more than propaganda.

"Tässä suhteessa venäläiset elävät keskiajalla... Vaikka ajat ovat kamalat, venäläiset ajattelevat, että Putin on heidän ainoa toivonsa", sanoo @mpkkfi idäntutkija Jonna Alava. Hyvää voitonpäivää vaan sinne.

REP. ADAM SMITH: We roll out red carpet for Putin, we belittle and insult President Zelenskyy in White House — he has no cards, right?

Well, year after that, it looks like Zelenskyy had couple of cards to play because Ukraine is actually winning against Russia.

Ukraine, a sovereign democracy standing up against a brutal, oppressive, coercive dictatorship.

And we can't even bring ourselves on consistent basis to say we are with Ukraine, we are against what Putin is doing, and we stand up and support Ukraine.

[Ville Niinistö @VilleNiinisto]

The only thing where we need Putin to talk is to give up his war on Ukraine, and it is the Ukrainians who need to do the talking.
Any move by Europe to conciliate would be used against us by Russia. We cannot give room for false legitimacy while Russian war crimes keep piling up.

Alltid lika tråkigt att läsa kommentarerna till den här typen av nyheter. Det är bara att gratulera australiensiska armén. Det här är en av de skarpaste generalerna som jag har stött på.

Today, @SenatorShaheen and @SenThomTillis, co-chairs of the Senate NATO Observer Group, and a bipartisan group of 8 senators released the below statement in support of America’s membership in NATO.

Rikkomalla USA:n liittolaisjärjestelmän ja heikentämällä USA:n taloutta, heikentämällä sotilaallista voimaa ja jopa horjuttamalla USA:n dollarin asemaa johtavana valuuttana Trump pudottaa USA:n johtoasemasta "tavallisten kuolevaisten" joukkoon.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Agree. Why did Trump threaten Denmark and Canada?

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Vance: ​“What I would say to both Russians and Ukrainians is we're talking about haggling over a few square kilometers of territory. Is that worth losing hundreds of thousands of additional russian and Ukrainian young men?"

Vance is once again failing to distinguish between the aggressor and the victim, attempting to convince you that it is acceptable to pressure the victim into complying with the aggressor’s demands.

He fails to recognize that he is not only urging Ukraine to surrender territories, but also the people who live there, our homes, and our most fortified defense lines dooming us for future attacks, because this war is not at all about territory, but about Ukraine existence as a state.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Including Russia, right? RIGHT?

"Vladimir Putin has asked oligarchs to donate to Russia’s budget in a bid to stabilise the country’s finances as he presses on with his invasion of Ukraine, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The comments by Russia’s president to a large group of prominent businessmen on Thursday made it clear that he is intent on pursuing the war to a victorious end despite the growing strains on the Kremlin’s budget.

Russia will fight on, Putin said, until it captures the remaining areas of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region not under its control, according to two of the people."

Operation Epic Fail.

10 years ago in March 2016, Mitt Romney warned Trump's foreign policies would make America and the world less safe, and that because of Trump, America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.

His predictions are holding up pretty well, unfortunately.

Actual Environmental Impact: Trojena is intended to run on 100% renewable energy. Researchers estimate the energy consumption for snowmaking and water treatment to be around 3.7 GWh annually—a microscopic fraction of the catastrophic levels suggested in the image.
