Putin will never enter into any real negotiations with Ukraine. For him, it means the end - either political death, or physical death. When the Russian side speaks of a readiness to negotiate, it is merely a diplomatic tactic to drag out the war. Russians understand the word "negotiation" as a synonym for Ukraine's capitulation.
There is no "window for negotiations", there is only a window of opportunity to force the Russians into peace by strength.
Donald Trump is scared to accept Volodymyr Zelensky invitation to visit Kyiv.
I remember when Joe Biden did! Here is a picture 📷
DO NOT SHARE, we don't want to trigger any MAGA.
Russia has:
—ALL of the tapes of Trump getting pissed on by hookers
—ALL of the tapes of Trump raping girls with Epstein
—ALL of the financial records proving Trump is financially insolvent and owned by the Kremlin
—ALL of the proof he didn’t win either the 2016 or 2024 elections
ААААААААААААААААААААААаааа, какой же ор 🤣
Итак, начинаем с того, что пошлины Трампа — это не экономическая стратегия, а фанфик.
Реально.
Их вдохновитель — Питер Наварро. Человек, которого нашли среди книжных вкладок, написавший парочку книг, и одну, которая понравилась окружению Донни, под названием «Смерть от Китая».
В своих книгах Наварро ссылается на такого себе «мирового экономиста-гения» — Рона Вару.
Ну вот, знакомьтесь: Рон Вара. Экономист, стратег, авторитет — и, по совместительству, плод воспалённой фантазии самого Питера Наварро. Да, того самого, кто подкинул Трампу идею пошлин. Выдуманный персонаж. Анаграмма. Переставьте буквы — и «эксперт» готов. И на этом, внезапно, строится экономическая политика США.
Ещё раз: вся эта экономическая «мысль» и её объяснения начались с чувака, которого не существует.
Имя — анаграмма «Наварро». Просто переставьте буквы.
Так что, когда в следующий раз услышите про «продуманную стратегию тарифов», знайте: всё началось с вымышленного персонажа из головы амазоновского шарлатана.
Это даже не маразм. Это какой-то мем, ставший реальностью.
И вот т�� стоишь, смотришь на всё это и думаешь: да ну, не может быть. А потом вспоминаешь, кто у них президент.
И становится не смешно. Становится… нормально.
Потому что это и есть норма сегодня как скандал с Signal и другими.
And here we have it:
Trump going mental on Ukraine and blaming Zelenskyy for backing out of a "deal" that would ruin his country's future for absolutely no gain for future security and also attacking him over NATO security.
He is a corrupt Russian shill.
Not only is the password on Hegseth's Russian email address the same as his verified personal Gmail account but the phone verification number for the Russian email is a +7 country code (Russia).
Why does Hegseth have a Russian phone number?
"Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases" say Joe Rogan's guests
And he believes them
Meanwhile in the real world 👇👇
Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own. Then we see if there is any actual US policy to get Russia to do what Ukraine has done, to accept a ceasefire, or if the US is an ally of Russian imperialism and this whole process has just been a cover story for American submission to Russian wishes. If Witkoff comes back from Russia endorsing Russian demands regarding Ukrainian sovereignty we have our answer. Russia has no more right to dictate anything that happens inside Ukraine than Ukraine has to dictate what happens inside Russia. And the "root causes" of this war are all inside Russia, as the Russians are reminding us.
@YashengHuang The key here is that Putin and gang have an access to a lot of unaccounted funds. In Russia no one can argue where those funds were spent. While Europe for example, having a much higher GDP, have to spend all funds properly, can’t invest in disinformation or propaganda or corrupt
Lex Fridman has "responded" to the backlash he got from not publishing the interviews he did during his trip to Ukraine in 2022. As expected, he tries to pin the whole thing on "Ukrainian bot farms".
But before that, he blocked anyone (including prominent Ukrainian activists and journalists) who simply asked WHY these interviews were not published.
Lex claims that he tries to "speak to people from all sides with empathy, depth, and compassion," and now he wants to do this with a Russian dictator who decided to invade a sovereign country because he was "bored".
I see Lex as an opportunistic charlatan who will do anything for attention and money. I don't buy his 'compassion and empathy' shtick for a second.
