A Tale of Two Wars: russia is striking critical civilian infrastructure, that’s called terrorism. Ukraine is striking strategic military targets, that’s called defense.
For peace to win, russia must fall.
Watch my latest video on russian collapse- 🔗 in comments.
I sat down with President Zelenskyy
Last year, Trump told him he had no cards & to say thank you. Now, the US just asked Ukraine for help. The tables have turned.
The best hope of forcing Putin to stop his genocidal invasion is to push Russia toward bankruptcy. The $12 trillion partnership deal that is reportedly being negotiated with the US is the exact opposite
Brilliant speech and a wake up call by Zelenskyy in Davos:
"A year ago here in Davos I ended my speech with the words: 'Europe must know how to defend itself.' A year has passed and nothing has changed. I must say the same words again."
"There was so much talk about the protests in Iran. But they were drowned in blood. The world did not help the people of Iran enough. And what will Iran become after this bloodshed? And if this regime survives it will send a clear signal to every aggressor — kill enough people and you will remain in power."
"Maduro is in court in New York. I am sorry but Putin is not in court. And this is the fourth year of the largest war in Europe since World War II and the one who started it is not only free — he is still fighting for his frozen funds in Europe and he is having some success. Putin was able to stop Europe unfortunately."
"There is still no real progress regarding the creation of a special tribunal for Russian aggression against the Ukrainian people. Europe has not even reached the stage where there is a building for the tribunal. Often in Europe there is something more urgent than justice."
“Today Europe relies mainly on the belief that in case of danger NATO will take action. But no one has ever seen the alliance tested at full strength. If Putin decides to seize Lithuania or strike Poland who will react? NATO exists thanks to the belief that the US will take action — that they will not stay on the sidelines and will provide aid. But what if that does not happen?"
"Europe must learn to defend itself. Sending 14 or 40 soldiers to Greenland — what is that supposed to achieve? What signal does it send to Putin? To China? And perhaps most importantly what signal does it send to Denmark?"
"Ukraine can help protect Greenland. We have the necessary expertise and weapons; Russian ships will sink near Greenland just as they sink near Crimea. We could act if we were asked, if Ukraine were in NATO. But we are not in NATO."
Be feigning "negotiations", Russia has had a successful year in preventing sanctions, delivery of Tomahawks and other tools that would have made huge steps toward ending the war.
Now, believing Ukraine’s partners to be paralyzed under the cover of phantom negotiations, Russia has moved on to full destruction of a country they know can never be occupied.
At Davos, Mark Rutte explains that Ukraine needs military support NOW.
BREAKING:
Ukraine issues a statement on Iran:
“We call on the international community to consider tightening pressure on the Iranian regime for its violence against its people and support for Russia’s criminal war against Ukraine”
More humiliation for the Kremlin at this hour, as a TRUE "special military operation" is ongoing, with NATO forces seizing a sanctioned Russian tanker on the North Sea.
Ongoing operations include:
— a KC-135T Stratotanker refueling aircraft,
— US Air Force P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft,
— a British Poseidon MRA1,
— several American special-purpose aircraft Pilatus U-28A Draco.
Russia sent a submarine and other ships as a show of force that ultimately did nothing in response.
Russian propagandists are in an uproar.
Reminder most of rural russia is a complete shithole with no flushing toilets yet they had the money to renovate a drama theatre. Thats because it's sole purpose was to cover up their crimes and pretend nothing happened. A rotten and sick country.
President Zelenskyy on Maduro:
What can I say here? If this can be done to dictators, like that, then the United States of America know what they should do next.
Russia’s fake attack on Putin’s residence was so badly executed that it has sparked speculation of a deliberate plot to humiliate Trump by making him publicly repeat Putin’s lies. That is certainly possible, but old-fashioned Russian incompetence should also not be underestimated
Again it’s worth pondering how a populist like Trump chooses such an unpopular position on this one thing. It’s not as if he has any principles or positions he wouldn’t betray—except his loyalty to Putin.
Russians have responded to calls for a ceasefire with another hours-long drone barrage targeting homes of sleeping families.
There are injured all over the with city with rescue efforts ongoing.
The IISS has produced the most comprehensive open-source database currently available on Russian sabotage operations across Europe and its periphery. It captures the full spectrum of activity with physical effects: from sabotage on undersea cables to GPS blocking across multiple domains and geographies.

Ukraine has won the Battle of Kupyansk, it seems. More and more Z bloggers are today acknowledging Russia's retreat from the city. Putin repeatedly lied about the capture of Kupyansk - now his humiliation is complete. What a Christmas present for all Ukrainians! Slava Ukraini!
