Only Westerners who bought the idiotic “NATO made them do it” narrative peddled by the likes of Mearsheimer, Sachs, Ritter, and Macgregor ever thought that this was not a war of conquest and annihilation. That’s why they don’t understand Ukraine’s resolve to resist this imperial genocidal invasion and imagine it is a proxy war that the West will fight to the last Ukrainian.
I explained this — with Russian sources — back in April 2022:

😢 First footage after the strike on the "Yagotynske for Children" dairy plant in Kyiv region
At least four people died. More people may be under the rubble.
@RepStephenLynch If our country, a signatory to the Budapest Agreement, cannot follow through on what it signed up for - which is to assure Ukraine's territorial integrity, then we certainly do not have any business nor moral authority to force Iran or any other country to give up their nukes.
We are now into the fifth year of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s unlawful war of aggression against Ukraine – with Russian forces continuing to launch a deadly drone and missile air campaign against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has refused to provide additional security assistance to the Ukrainian people and even slashed tens of millions in funding that would have supported the investigation of Russian war crimes targeting Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
In defense of a free and sovereign Ukraine, and in the interest of U.S. national security, I voted YES on the Ukraine Support Act. This bipartisan legislation authorizes additional security assistance for Ukraine and will impose harsher sanctions on Russia if it continues the war, refuses to engage in good faith peace negotiations, or violates the terms of an existing peace agreement.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American conspiracy theorist, podcaster & antisemite, Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO). She’s best known for spreading conspiracy theories, attacking Ukraine, promoting pro-Kremlin BS, and becoming a favorite of Russian state media.

HORROR in Kherson 😡! A civilian (35y old woman)was killed and over 20 others were wounded following a russian terrorist attack on the city 😡! A gas station, apartment buildings, cars, a shop, buses, a school were damaged or completely destroyed 😡! @IntlCrimCourt
@Ilhan You 'stand with Ukraine' but vote to weaken sanctions on the Russian invaders who are raping, bombing, and genociding them? Your fake tears about 'ordinary russians' suffering mean nothing while Ukrainian civilians are slaughtered daily. Sanctions are the bare minimum....
There will be no peace: "Do your job, brothers," Putin said in an address to the military, according to Russian media reports.
With this, Putin rejects President Zelenskyy's open letter.
The fighting will end when Russia has achieved its goals—Putin.
What is so hard to understand about that statement? The perverse monster in the Kremlin does not want peace—Putin must be bombed to the negotiating table.
Nonsense, and infuriating one at that. While he “supports” Ukraine, he does not want to provide aid because Trump does not want to give it, not because there’s some magic alternative aid package that would have been better. These are despicable assholes who are playing politics with people’s lives. It’s also absolutely not true that the situation in Ukraine today is the same as years ago — dafuk is this guy smoking?
Join us at Constitution Ave NE and Delaware Ave NE by Russell Senate Office Building until 6 pm today Friday. The Senate returns Monday.
Call your Senators and tell them to pass the Ukraine Support Act.

Und mehr muss man über diese Partei auch nicht wissen, um als deutscher Patriot, der sein Vaterland liebt, einen möglichst weiten Bogen um diese Marionetten Moskau zu machen.
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Got it. If Irish aluminum is used to kill Palestinians, it’s shouldn’t be sold, but if it’s used for Russian missiles killing Ukrainians, we just need to think about local jobs first.
🇩🇪 Engines from the German company MAN continue to arrive in Russia, an investigation by the Dossier Center and the Süddeutsche Zeitung has shown.
They are supplied to Russia via a Turkish company, where they are installed on the Sobol border boats.
The Turkish company does not indicate Russia as the final buyer, so the manufacturer may not know where the products are going, but experts say that without engineers from the manufacturing company, the engines cannot be installed on Russian boats.
37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.
