- Radoslaw Sikorski- FM of Poland:

"Negotiations with Putin are impossible because his credibility is zero.

....Russia already has treaties with Ukraine. They have a 1990 agreement on recognizing the intra-Soviet border between Ukraine and Russia as the new international border. Russia, remember—not only the United States—but Russia is also a guarantor of Ukraine’s independence and inviolability of borders in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994. And they also have a bilateral border treaty specifically of 2003,

So anything but recovery of the international border requires us to say, well, he broke those treaties, but this one he’s going to honor. Really? If you were a Ukrainian, would you accept that?”

...........

That is exactly how it is..
the Russians violated everything that could possibly be violated🤷‍♀️

including international law!

🛳️ Here's a funny one. It takes a Russian tanker carrying 40,000 tonnes of diesel about three weeks to reach US terminals

So by the time the ship arrives in the US, the Americans will have exported more than 4 million tonnes of their own fuel.

That's 100 times more than the Russian tanker will deliver, as Vladyslav Vlasiuk, Ukraine's Presidential Commissioner for Sanctions Policy, aptly points out.

And the tanker's entire cargo would be enough to cover just two hours of diesel consumption in the US.

Now that's what I call a deal!

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press and asked “Where is Germany?” when discussing Patriot fire units and missiles for Ukraine. The ignorance on display demanded an immediate fact check.

Germany has delivered more complete MIM-104 Patriot fire units to Ukraine than the United States. Roughly half of all Patriot systems now defending Ukrainian skies came from Bundeswehr stocks. Between 2023 and 2025 Berlin transferred five fully equipped fire units, plus additional launchers and what is believed to be a spare radar. Germany began supplying Patriots at the same time as the US and has never stopped. Washington halted those transfers long ago.

The interceptors tell an even clearer story. With every fire unit Germany shipped dedicated missile packages, including one of 100 and another of 64. These kept the systems operational in the critical early phase. In February 2025 the German Ministry of Defence confirmed it had already delivered 328 Patriot missiles of various types. That figure came before the final two fire units, before multiple PURL and JUMPSTART tranches, and before several smaller direct transfers from German stocks. The total number of financed and delivered Patriot interceptors from Germany now easily exceeds 500.

Since President Trump took office Germany has repeatedly taken the lead in organising, financing, and delivering new Patriot munitions to Ukraine. In February 2026 Berlin spent weeks negotiating with multiple partners until more than 30 PAC-3 missiles reached Ukraine. German officials have also conducted high-level talks with Spain and Greece to unlock additional stocks.

Berlin does far more than broker transfers. It pays Washington directly for American-made missiles. In June 2026 alone Germany committed 200 million dollars through JUMPSTART and another 200 million through PURL for PAC-3 and other variants. Total German contributions across these channels now surpass 1 billion dollars. In other words, Sec. Bessent, we are the ones funding the very missiles you claim America is generously providing.

In April 2026 Germany announced its largest single commitment yet: 3.2 billion euros to procure and deliver 600 PAC-2 GEM-T interceptors for Ukraine’s Patriots. These missiles are manufactured in Germany.

The numbers are clear. Germany has outdelivered the United States on complete Patriot fire units. Germany has supplied the majority of the missiles keeping those systems alive. Germany continues to organise urgent packages when Washington does not. And Germany pays Washington hundreds of millions of dollars for American missiles that are then sent to Ukraine.

So the next time a senior American official asks “Where is Germany?” on national television, the answer is simple. Germany is doing more for Ukraine’s air defence than the United States, while simultaneously paying your bills. The question now is where Germany stands. The question is why Washington keeps pretending it is carrying a load it long ago dropped.

The Zhytomyr Highway, west of Kyiv. The Battle of Kyiv, 2022.

Yes, this is just one of the many, horrifyingly many, charred graveyards left behind by Russian military columns destroyed and burned by Ukrainian forces. Back then, those columns were literally surrounding Kyiv from multiple directions.

I remember how, at another location along the same highway, closer to the city, there were entire junkyards of destroyed Russian military vehicles and wreckage. It seemed like there was an overturned tank with its turret blown off every ten meters.

And now they're trying to sell you this catastrophic defeat of Russia's elite forces outside Kyiv as some kind of "Oh, the Russian tanks just took a wrong turn and got stuck in the mud. Otherwise, they would've taken Kyiv in a matter of hours."

Please, don't let anyone make morons of you.

'Memory Cannot Be Banned' is still trending on X.

People are still showing solidarity with Ukranian Olympic Athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych after he was banned for his helmut showing fallen Ukrainian athletes murdered by Russia.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

The Russian State paid to have someone assassinated.

Instead Ukrainian intelligence faked his death, took the $500,000 then reinstated him to his position.

Absolutely Legends hahaa

The Russians got played. Someone is going out of a window haha.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

When someone claims that Ukraine started the war against Russia, the statement collapses the moment you look at reality.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Missiles crossed the border before sunrise. Tanks rolled in from multiple directions. Airfields were bombed. Cities were shelled. Civilians woke up to explosions. This was not a response. It was an initiation.

Ukraine did not invade Russia.
Ukraine did not bomb Russian cities.
Ukraine did not send troops across an international border.

Russia did.

Saying Ukraine “should not have started the war” is like watching a burglary on camera and blaming the homeowner for owning a house. It requires ignoring evidence, chronology, geography, and basic logic.

Just gonna leave this here.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

The Kremlin claimed that the video of Zelensky in Kupiansk was filmed on February 23, 2022 — one day before the start of the russian invasion.

In other words, they’ve effectively acknowledged Zelensky’s genius — that he independently invented and manufactured the iPhone 17 Pro Max four years before Apple released it.

Slava Ukraini!

I’m sorry. If you don’t get paid vacation from work, you live in a third world country.

If you don’t get basic healthcare free, you live in a third world country.

If you don’t get paid maternity and paternity leave, if you don’t get paid from work and the government when you’re off sick, then you live in a third world country.

If your government doesn’t force employers to give you a contract after a trial period so your employer has certain rights to uphold when it comes to loyalty back to you as a worker, so you feel safe and secure when you work hard, then you live in a third world country.

These are the very basics we come to expect In Europe and The U.K. This is the very least we will accept.

This year I have 52 paid vacation days off from work. This would not include paid sick days, time for doctor’s appointments or paid time off for looking after my child or taking them to the doctors. Some employees like mine pay a little extra for working from home, for electric, for internet and aditional money for food for when I work. We have very good free education. Americans travel to Europe just for the free universities to study without drowning in debt whilst living in the most beautiful cities. These universities that for some subjects are the best in the world.

It is physically illegal for my employer to contact me on my day off or outside of my contracted working hours.

Some of these things which can vary country to country in Europe are the very basics of what we expect living in a European country. The very minimum.

Yet we get told by MAGA that we live wrong, and we should change our values, and that America represents freedom. And we should follow what this government administration wants.

What is it to be free? Just to be allowed to have guns? To protect what? To protect yourself from your government?

The truth is sadly, that there is no Freedom in America. I say these things above so Americans know what you should demand from your leaders, because none of the above is taught to you.

Now this is the Truth you need to hear:

For education America is 13th in reading, 18th in science, 37th in math among 79 countries.

College debt is over $1.7 trillion and average borrower owes $30,000+.

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world….
You have around 25% of the whole world’s prisoners, but only 4% of the global population….
Over 2 million people currently incarcerated in the U.S.

You have the most expensive healthcare system globally, yet it ranks #30 in overall health care.
U.S. has higher infant mortality and lower life expectancy than many developed nations by far.

1 in 7 American children live in poverty. Roughly 11 million children
90% of your wealth is with 1% of people.

America has over 40,000 gun-related deaths annually.

And even for tech… The U.S. ranks 13th–20th in internet speed globally.

Why would they tell you what you are missing?

Why would they tell you what you should demand and expect as tax paying citizens…

Seek Freedom, Seek Real Freedom. Not the Freedom They Sold You.

The one they sold to you wasn’t free.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a European intelligence service has already circulated internal assessments about “commercial and economic plans” the Trump team has been exploring with Russia behind closed doors. That report sent shockwaves through capitals across the continent. It confirmed what many in Europe feared. Trump is moving toward a geopolitical deal with Moscow that would undermine Europe’s security architecture at its core.

European officials, speaking privately, say the reaction inside Europe is no longer measured. It is urgent. The working assumption is simple.
If Trump signals recognition of Russia’s territorial claims, Europe must treat it as a strategic emergency.

Analysts familiar with current discussions say Europe is now gaming out responses that go far beyond traditional diplomatic protests. What is being modelled are extreme economic countermeasures designed to hit the United States at the precise structural points where it is most exposed.

And there is one vulnerability everyone knows about.
The United States is sitting on historic, destabilising levels of public debt.
On top of that, foreign holders of US Treasuries control trillions in American obligations. If Europe and likeminded partners begin shifting even a portion of these holdings into the global market, the immediate shock to the dollar could be dramatic.

Scenario modelling inside Europe points to a series of cascading effects if such a shift were triggered.
A rapid sell off could:
• Slam the dollar’s international value
• Disrupt liquidity across the entire US banking system
• Push borrowing costs upward in a violent spike
• Lock the American financial sector into a paralysis more severe than the 2008 crisis

One senior European economist described it as a potential financial whiplash that could hit the US harder than any external shock in modern history.

And the political fallout inside the United States would be devastating.
With midterm elections approaching, a crisis unleashed by a European response would detonate under the Republican Party. Voters would immediately link economic freefall to a president who chose private arrangements with Moscow over allied stability. In that scenario, Republicans wouldn’t just lose ground. They could be pushed out of serious national political influence for decades.

Trump continues to operate as if Russia is some rising economic colossus he can leverage for grand deals. Figures like Witkoff have convinced him of fantasies that collapse under basic scrutiny. The reality is painfully simple. Russia’s economy is smaller than Italy’s and shrinking year by year. The true danger is not Russian strength.
It is an American president aligning himself with the Kremlin against Europe’s security interests.

Europe is reaching a hard conclusion.
Under Trump, America is not a reliable partner.

And if he chooses to legitimise Russian aggression, Europe is prepared to respond with economic force powerful enough to shake the American financial system at its foundation.

The message from Europe is becoming impossible to miss. This moment is approaching a breaking point.
And the consequences would be historic.

[Kadi🇪🇪🌻 @TheFl0orIsLaVa]

Putin isn’t even pretending anymore. No talk of “liberation” or “protecting russian speakers.” Just openly: “If they don’t give us the territory, we’ll take it by force.”

And this is the 21st century and that country sits in the UN.

If we had 2-3 politicians in Europe who thought like Garry Kasparov, we would have already won the war against russia.

Ukraine already gave up weapons for US security guarantees.

It was called the Budapest Memorandum.
