Financial Times: Italian Prime Minister Meloni has suggested applying NATO's Article 5 to Ukraine even without granting it full membership in the alliance.
Friends, I need your help.
I feel sorry for Trump supporters who are getting hammered by Trump’s tariffs.
But I seem to run out of fucks to give.
Can you spare a rat’s ass?
Trump's envoy to Ukraine boasts of the suffering the US is now inflicting on Ukraine after cutting off intelligence and military aid.
Kellogg on effect of US military aid and intelligence cutoff to Ukraine: "It's like hitting a mule in the face with a two by four, you know. You got their attention."
The lowest scum.
The Trump-Putin Pact already exists, and we should act accordingly. There are some things we will never change with nice words or smart clothing. If you are worried about those things, you should understand where Trump's tactics come from. From Russia.
A thread. 🧵1/14
Everyone who voted for this - almost every House GOP - voted to cut Medicaid.
When they try to pretend later that they didn’t, know that they are lying to you.
This was the vote. They knew it, we knew it, CBO confirms it.
Good news is we can still defeat it. Time to organize.
Listen up Fascist Barbie:
Canada ranks 4th in the world for overall quality of life. Why the fuck would we trade that for a country spiraling under the regime of a felon who worships dictators & doesn’t give two shits about his own people? Fuck off bimbo!
Donald Trump’s ties to Russia date back to the 1980s, when he began laundering Russian money through real estate and casinos. His Atlantic City casinos were repeatedly cited for failing to report suspicious transactions, a known money-laundering technique used by Russian oligarchs and organized crime.
2013: The Moscow Meeting That Changed Everything
In November 2013, Trump hosted Miss Universe in Moscow while struggling financially after five bankruptcies. He spent a week with Russian elites, oligarchs, and intelligence officials, including Putin’s inner circle. Shortly after, Trump received a major cash infusion from Deutsche Bank, a bank later fined for laundering Russian money.
2016: FBI Surveillance, Russian Interference & Ivanovich’s Arrest
By 2016, Trump was under FBI surveillance due to his ties to Russian financial crimes. His campaign was infiltrated by Russian assets, including Paul Manafort, who had helped install Putin’s puppet, Viktor Yanukovych, as Ukraine’s president. Manafort joined Trump’s campaign for free—a red flag.
That same year, the FBI arrested Ivanovich, a Russian operative, inside Trump’s hotel. He was suspected of laundering money through Trump’s businesses, including “losing” large sums at Trump’s casinos—a classic laundering method. Meanwhile, Russian hackers targeted the DNC, and Russia flooded social media with propaganda to help Trump win.
With Putin’s backing, Trump became President of the United States on November 8, 2016.
2017-2020: Trump Governs in Putin’s Interest
Once in office, Trump’s policies consistently benefited Russia:
Helsinki Summit (2018): Trump stood beside Putin and denied Russian election interference, siding with him over U.S. intelligence agencies.
Weakened NATO: Trump attacked NATO, calling it "obsolete," a move aligned with Russian goals.
Troop Withdrawals: Trump pulled U.S. troops from Syria & Germany, giving Putin strategic advantages.
Ukraine Betrayed: Trump withheld U.S. military aid to Ukraine, helping Putin weaken its defenses.
Continued Praise for Putin: While insulting U.S. allies, Trump defended Putin at every turn.
At home, Trump sowed division, following the KGB’s destabilization tactics. Russian disinformation campaigns inflamed racial tensions and political polarization.
2020-2024: Trump’s Continued Silence on Russia
After losing in 2020, Trump refused to condemn Putin’s 2022 Ukraine invasion, calling him a “genius”. He purged top U.S. generals in 2023, replacing one with his son’s hunting buddy, a man with no military experience.
Trump still refuses to discuss his private conversations with Putin. The FBI, CIA, and Mueller Report all confirm Russian interference, yet Trump’s followers dismiss the overwhelming evidence.
The Verdict: Trump Was Putin’s Pawn
As Marcus Aurelius warned: "A country can survive its fools, but not a traitor from within."
Trump wasn’t a mastermind—he was compromised. He could be bought and manipulated, and Putin played him to weaken America from within. The true cost of his presidency is still unfolding, but one fact is clear:
America was compromised at the highest level of government.

Donald Trump mentioned the Republic of Moldova in last night's State of The Union speech. Not in a good way, but in a bad way. Not in the transatlantic sense, but in the Moscow sense.
With each passing day, Donald Trump moves closer to realizing the Kremlin's ambitions from the letter Putin sent to NATO in December 2021, months before the invasion of Ukraine. In case you don't remember it, I'll remind you of some of the demands considered absurd by the civilized world at the time:
Trump has stopped sharing intelligence and military aid with Ukraine. He claims he’s trying to make peace and end the war, but all he’s really doing is weakening Ukraine and strengthening Putin.
Trump is a Russian asset.

@PawlowskiMario@Timothy77490700 They are not opponent. They are Russian puppets. Trump will sell out Ukrainians. Our allies need to stop sharing intelligence with Americans. Trump is a leaker.
