I am so tired of all misunderstandings of Russia's war against Ukraine & the US role:
1. Russia is pursuing a major colonial war.
2. No colonial power has won such a war after World War II.
3. Nations are born out of war & this war has cemented the Ukrainian nation.
4. For Ukraine, this war is existential. In Russia, it is only existential for Putin.
5. Therefore Ukraine cannot give up & Putin will lose (though we cannot know when or exactly how).
6. This war has united Europe & given it a new purpose. The old purpose of the EU was to keep peace internally. The new purpose is to stand up to Russia.
7. Trump has taken the US out of the war & the US is not likely to come back. Trump is Putin's obedient servant (though fortunately dumb & incompetent).
8. Europe needs to take over NATO since the US is abandoning it.
9. The new forms of warfare & the current US incompetence are likely to render the US military & arms obsolete very fast.
10. The EU needs to embrace Ukraine & Moldova & Western Balkans & invite the UK, Norway & Iceland.
Godtfolk! Vi er nesten i mål med innsamlingen til ny motor til dieselbilen til Mikael. Mikael er fra Drammen og offiser i den ukrainske hæren. Send noen kroner til spleisen til @SelnesStig og Vipps er bilen stridsdyktig igjen 🇺🇦🐺🇳🇴
Ireland has emerged as a key enabler of Russian aggression against Ukraine
Irish neutrality is not what it seems
The most striking example is Ireland's critical role in alumina supply chains for Rusal
Rusal was founded by oligarch Oleg Deripaska
🇬🇧🇮🇪 Britain is sounding the alarm about an EU country that has become a"backdoor" for Russian spies
We're talking about Ireland. Dublin has issued 14,000 visas to Russian citizens - with a 90% approval rate since the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Ireland is a member of the Common Travel Area along with Great Britain, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. This means that anyone who enters Ireland effectively gains access to Britain - without additional checks.
@CaolanReports@FellaBubu Good job Caolan!!! If I send an E-mail to one of those, can you share a link to shipping or some evidence or other newsoutlets? Just som meat on the bone😃

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast.
Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanctions. This week, targets were also reached in the Yaroslavl, Ryazan, Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod and Krasnodar regions at distances ranging from 300 to 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies – thank you!
Ideen om et European Security Council (ESC) er tilbake. Denne gangen med langt større tyngde og bredde enn tidligere.
Siden dette er er skritt vekk fra konføderasjon mot føderasjon krever det antageligvis en endring i EU-traktaten.
Bakgrunnen er friksjonen som krigen i Ukraina synliggjorde, både internt i EU og eksternt. USA er da rimelig å peke på.
