Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries.
We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!
@PiusSprenger Only if it was all stored in cash or low yielding assets? But yeah, point is clear. Not everyone can nor should be obliged to invests in high yielding assets.
The Russians attacked Kharkiv. As usual, they struck a residential building with a missile. Many people have died under the rubble.
Trump used blackmail to force Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries.
So now Russians are simply continuing their terror campaign against Ukrainian cities unilaterally. And the US is buying diesel from them.
"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender"

So... Do you see the boy on a scooter?
That was a 16 year old son of my mother's nurse.
Nothing left of him.
That was this woman's only child.
I don't think I have much else to say.
Russians killed him and ripped this woman's heart out.
Trump assists Russia in this.
The American people should be thanking @ZelenskyyUa for blowing up the Russian data centers that housed so many of Russia’s bots.
Russia spends $2 billion per year on information warfare and much of that warfare is directly targeted toward the West, President Trump and the US.
I for one am thankful to see less Russian bots online sharing Tucker Qatarlson’s content and accusing everyone of being a pedophile and an Israeli spy.
This means less Russian interference in our elections online since Russian state media spends all of their time online attacking Trump and sharing tweets from anti-Trump podcasters.
Iranin 1970-luku muistuttaa paljon nykyisiä länsimaita, joissa radikaali islamismi kasvaa ja institutionalisoituu. Uhriutuminen, opetusministeriöihin ja opetushallituksiin soluttautuminen, (esim Suomessa läksykerhot moskeijoissa) ja massiivinen lisääntyminen ja vasemmiston hyväksi käyttäminen, jotta viedään omaa agendaa eteenpäin. Anti-imperialismi oli myös Iranissa kuten nykyisessä lännessä tärkeä tekijä, samoin kuin sionistien vastustaminen, vaikka usein eivät ymmärrä koko käsitettä.
Iranissa turvallisuuspalvelu SAVAK:in apulaispäällikkö ja sisäisen turvallisuuden päällikkö Parviz Sabeti toi ilmi suhteellisen tuoreessa dokumentissa MANOTO TV:lle, että, kun protestit alkoivat Iranissa 1978:
1. Sabeti pyysi shaahia, että vangitaan reilu tuhat radikaali islamistia, mutta shaahi ei suostunut tähän, koska pelkäsi islamfobiaa.
2. Lopulta, joitakin vangittiin, mutta suurin osa vankiloissa olleista radikaali islamisteista vapautettiin Chamberlain "Appeasment policy" -linjan mukaisesti.
3. Elokuvateatteri Rexin tuhopolton jälkeen, jonka islamistit polttivat ja tappoivat satoja viattomia ihmisiä ja syyttivät siitä SAVAK:ia elokuussa 1978, vallankumous sai lisää liekkiä.
Tässä vaiheessa Sabeti pyysi, että otetaan ykköskategoriaan kuuluvia islamisteja kiinni ja teloitetaan ne. Shaahi ei suostunut, samalla, kun päästi Punaisen ristin työntekijät vankiloihin, joissa ääri-islamistit ja ääri-vasemmistolaiset valittivat oloistaan.
5. Vankilat muuttuivat hotelleiksi ja lopulta hallinto oli niin lamaantunut ettei se enää ollut kykenevä toimimaan ellei oltaisi käytetty väkivaltaa, mihin shaahi ei halunnut ryhtyä.
6. 16. tammikuuta 1979 shaahi poistui maasta ja 37-päivää myöhemmin väliakainen hallinto kaatui, kun armeija oli neutraali. Helmikuussa Ruhollah Khomeinista tuli de facto johtaja ja nyt 47-vuotta näitä samoja tapahtumia eletään Euroopassa ja Amerikassa.
Minä en ainakaan halua @Sukkola, että ketään teloitetaan tai edes ajatusta siitä, mutta joskus on pakko. Mutta koska ei tarvitsisi ryhtyä sellaiseen länsimaissa ja Euroopassa, kaikki imaamit tulisi karkottaa täältä ja moskeijat sulkea vielä, kun on aika lännen puolella.
Jos muslimeilla on vaikeaa harjoittaa uskontoaan, he voivat palata Lähi-itään ja Pohjois-Afrikkaan.
Enkä halua kuulla uskonnonvapaus argumentointia, koska Islam ei ole uskonto, vaan ideologia.
With Putin's oil industry protected, Russia and Iran will now use that revenue to ensure the Houthis destroy Saudi Arabia's oil industry and keep the straits in chaos, making prices higher, handing Russia immense market share.
All this newfound revenue will be used by Putin to expand his war on the west.
Axios: "President Trump's announcement Sunday about an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine referred to a potential deal that includes each side stopping attacks on oil refineries — and he expects Volodymyr Zelensky to abide by it."
Is the man with the greatest IQ in the history of the universe, whose name will soon replace that of the Atlantic Ocean, even aware that Ukraine hasn't had any operating oil refineries or other oil facilities on its territory for years now, because Russia destroyed them all long ago?
And that, no matter how you dress it up, this is not a "ceasefire" but a demand that Ukraine unilaterally stop fighting back against the aggressor and quietly die under Russian bombs raining down on its homes -- for some fucking unknown reason?
Perhaps it's finally time for someone to seek help at an appropriate medical institution?
Another massacre by Russians in Kharkiv an hour ago, targeting a grocery store and apartment buildings.
There are already 3 confirmed dead, 20 injured, including two children.
As Trump sucks Putin's dick, a mother and father are pulled from the rubble as they learn that their little daughter is dead - in Ukraine's city of Zaporizhzhia.
This is now all backed by the US.
Extraordinary that Ukrainians should have the nerve to defend themselves in a way that interferes with Trump's business plans
How selfish can people get ?
Pakistani Islamic scholar in Japan lays out the plan to Islamize the country:
"We’ll take Japanese women as wives and wipe out pure Japanese people."
"Since Japan has no official religion, we have the upper hand."
"We’ll rename Japan to Japan Khan.”
This is Tariq Masood, who forced his 13-year-old niece into an arranged marriage, and is currently overseeing the construction of an all-Islamic settlement in the middle of a Japanese forest. Deport!
Met, and interviewed, a lot of world leaders in my time. Few have impressed me more than President Zelensky. He’s a man of great courage, resilience, and determination, and deserves the support of everyone who cares about defying dictators. @ZelenskyyUa
