Historische Eskalation im Weißen Haus. Die Art und Weise, wie Trump und Vance mit Selenskyj geredet haben, ist einfach nur widerlich. Egal, wie man zu Selenskyj steht und zu seiner Rhetorik: Er vertritt ein Land, das angegriffen wurde und sich jeden Tag heroisch verteidigt. Dagegen kein Wort in Richtung Putin von Trump und Vance. Unfassbar.
I consider Zelenskyy one of the greatest leaders in modern history, and here's why:
- Many thought he would flee Kyiv right after Feb 2022. Instead, he stayed and decided to fight against Russian barbarism
- He's been a target of massive disinformation and smear campaigns: he's been called a Nazi, Zionist, warlord, drug addict, corrupt, beggar, etc.
- He still delivers messages to his people on a daily basis, whom he watches die every day
- He goes around the world and asks for politicians and governments to help Ukraine defend itself, usually without any good results
- He's actually gone to the front lines to meet the soldiers, unlike the bunker grandpa
- He's had to make some tough war-time decision over censorship, elections, mobilization, etc.
Of course there's always room for criticism, and many Ukrainians have criticized him for domestic politics, decisions over the war, and so on. But I can't remember many war-time presidents or leaders who have done better.
Unfortunately, it seems like the war fatigue, US domestic politics and time has turned president Zelenskyy into a somewhat negative figure, and the Kremlin will most probably keep pushing their smear campaigns against him (just watch as its lackeys come and swarm in the comments below).
As Harvey Dent famously said in Dark Knight,
"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
BREAKING: CNN just released their fact check of Donald Trump throughout the debate. It turns out Donald Trump lied on just about every answer. Retweet so all Americans see this vital fact check on Trump’s BS.
We have an agreement! All EU 27 countries have approved the 50 billion EUR financial aid package for Ukraine.
It again demonstrates EU unity and that together we can deliver.
An important signal to Ukraine that the EU stands behind you long-term, until victory. #EUCO
Dass Selenskyj offb. das 1. Mal die 🇺🇦seit Kriegsausbruch verlässt und NICHT als erstes Berlin, Paris oder Brüssel besucht, sondern Washington DC, sollte uns allen zu denken geben. Fakt ist: Ohne die Hilfe aus den 🇺🇸 gäbe es die Ukraine längst nicht mehr!
Ismaïla Sarr's goal celebration for #SEN in this World Cup has gone unreported. Sarr is covering his eyes and pointing a finger to his head, imitating a gun. It is symbolic of the world's disregard for ongoing atrocities in Africa, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ein deutscher Gepard-Flak-Panzer schiesst eine russische Lenkwaffe vom ukrainischen Himmel. Und die Schweiz erlaubt Deutschland aus falsch verstandener Neutralität nicht, uralte, aber dringend benötigte Munition für die Geparden zu liefern. Schande.
Russia: Losing a war to a country 1/4 its size
Iran: Massive protests
China: Increasing protests, sputtering economy
U.S.: Record low unemployment, election deniers lost midterms
Europe, Japan, Korea: Economically resilient, politically stable
Liberalism on its last legs, huh?
I've lived in China for 30 years, and I've never seen such a brazenly open and sustained expression of rage against the PRC govt. WeChat is exploding with protest videos and furious vitriol, and civil disobedience is becoming rampant. This is a serious test of CCP governance.
Britain knows what it means to fight for freedom.
We are with you all the way @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Британія знає, що означає боротися за свободу.
Ми з вами до кінця @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦🇬🇧
