Hillary Clinton on Israel:
I love Israel and I hate Netanyahu’s government and his policies. I love America and I hate Trump’s government and policies. […]
If Israelis want to vote for that again, then I think the United States has to take a very tough position. I think we could work with a new government.
@gracebrod1e Simplification of a complex situation. Without internal stability and social cohesion there can be no national security so there has to be a balance.
Lavrov confirms that Russia has no intention on stopping at Donbas in Ukraine:
"Russia needs a buffer zone. Let Ukraine become this buffer [between Russia and the West]."
@citizentommy@JohnCleese The logic according to Tommy is Ukraine were not entitled to be pro-west. They were wrong to rise-up against illegitimate attempts to make the Russian puppets.
Билл Клинтон: «МЫ заставили Украину отказаться от ядерного оружия, крылатых ракет и стратегических бомбардировщиков, МЫ обещали защитить Украину от России, МЫ сделали Украину уязвимой.
Так что да, это НАША война».
Когда говорит Президент США, а не аферист-девелопер с Манхэттена.
Stilerman: “Ukrainian ballistic missiles will strike Moscow this fall. Our ambitious plan is to reach production of three ballistic missiles per day by the end of the year – roughly 90 missiles a month, comparable to russia.”
Stilerman in an interview:
A tank of gas in Moscow now costs 3.5 times more. In Crimea, gasoline costs $7. In Crimea, shelves are empty and there are shortages.
Collapse is near. Crimea can return to Ukraine, and it must return. This war cannot end until Ukraine restores its 1991 borders.
Ukraine must destroy the russian empire or force it to accept a 500-kilometer demilitarized zone inside russia.
Otherwise, Ukraine will live next to an aggressive neighbor, spend enormous amounts of money on deterrence, and have 3,000 kilometers of hostile border. Investment will suffer.
Russia is betting on its own Starlink system to fly FPV drones over Ukraine. They called the program “Dawn,” but we’ll give them a “Sunset.”
I don’t think it will work. A satellite has a predictable orbit. Eight hundred kilometers isn’t that high. It’s easy to hit.
I said that we could shut down shipping in the Black Sea and Baltic Sea in one day.
We have already shut down the Black Sea. I hope we shut down the Baltic next. That would hit russia hard. Europe is betting everything on Ukraine’s victory.
Russia thought its enormous territory gave it an advantage, so it built gigantic factories. Now that is working against it.
You don’t need precision: you launch missiles at a large factory, knock it out, and it stops production. Russia cannot provide air-defense coverage for such a vast territory.
I think Ozon will follow Wildberries. They are important to the russian economy and supply its military.
Many russian drones are manufactured in the occupied territories, so Ukraine needs to cut those supply routes and continue expanding the gasoline shortage.
Wildberries is the largest borrower in russia. If Ukraine takes it down, many banks could begin to collapse – at least VTB.
VTB bet on Wildberries and its 60 million customers. If those loans disappear, trillions of rubles will be wiped out, and russia’s second-largest bank could collapse.
Ukrainian drones are already flying 3,400 kilometers and striking Tyumen and the Omsk refinery. Drones made by our company have reached those locations.
Ukrainian drones no longer need GPS. Russia’s enormous territory has become its greatest weakness. Our drone will fly 5,000 kilometers. Ten thousand kilometers is also achievable.
Drapatyi has an impeccable record and a rare degree of integrity. After the tragedy at the training ground, he submitted his resignation. He understands that russia only understands force. Ukraine must – and, most importantly, can – finish this.
Every Ukrainian panic – “Trump abandoned us,” “NABU will cost us aid” – ends with Ukraine becoming stronger internationally.
We are no longer simply receiving security. We are providing it. Europe has staked its money and reputation on Ukraine’s victory.
Enough trying to guess what Putin is thinking. Ukraine’s policy should be to systematically strike russia.
The current negotiating position is wrong: Putin knows that if he agrees at any moment, the war could be frozen along the existing front line.
If 30,000 North Koreans are enough for Putin, he will try to buy more. I think he will postpone mobilization until after russia’s sham elections.
After that, russia will simply collect more corpses from the battlefield.
Every russian who works and pays taxes is financing killers. Your troops committed Bucha, Izium, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia with your money.
Take your children and leave. It will only get worse. Take your money out of the banks: bury the cash deep underground or move it abroad.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech on the war in Ukraine:
“I have met Putin several times; he understands only strength and directness. My message to him is very simple: Get out of Ukraine! Give the Ukrainians back what belongs to them. End the war in which 30,000 of your people are dying every month.”
In short: Canada is now assuming the role of “reasonable America.”

In the meantime, the most ridiculous American president of all time is considering which of his ridiculous AI videos to release and just how many times he has already defeated Iran.
Q: Isn't it sickening to sit at the same table with an international war criminal and butcher of the Ukrainian people?
Witkoff: We've always been treated respectfully by President Putin and his team.
To all those SNP supporters who thought Sturgeon had the UK establishment "on the ropes", how does it feel watching them use her like a fucking puppet for the Brit Media and you had the fucking temerity to lambast Salmond for being on RT... Fuck the lot of you.
“We are not ready to surrender our freedom to that fucking terrorist, Putin.”
That’s the part every “peace plan” needs to understand: Ukraine isn’t fighting over a business deal. It’s fighting for the right to remain free.
"Why did the Palestinians start this on October 7?"
Max Blumenthal (Jewish): "They didn't. This war has been going on for 75 years. Israel started it in 1948 through the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 people."
@andrewgmorton@CraigMurrayOrg He’s just another disgusting pro-Russian disgracing the Independence Movement - same as Sheridan, Barrhead Boy, Sara Salyers et al.
