[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

@krusts @DrewPavlou @lexfridman He doesn't understand the context. People in the states don't understand what Russia is. Only force and might can stop them or force to negotiate, not pleasant talks

A must-bookmark: a brilliant and constantly updated interactive Google map of the Kursk offensive by my colleague @legal0ve https://t.co/EIBAwGz2U4

[Ukraine Control Map @UAControlMap]

Daily Ukraine map thread for Friday 26th July 2024

Highlights: Russian forces advance at Yasnobrodivka, Krasnohorivka, Lozuvatske and Prohres. Ukrainian forces are losing slowly but decisively in this area and Pokrovsk is now less than 20 km away.

Note that DeepState's map has much further Russian gains west of Avdiivka, but we haven't seen geolocations for them yet. The situation appears dire for Ukrainian forces in the area.

No change in Zaporizhia or Kherson, but north of Bakhmut and in Kharkiv/Luhansk Russian forces have made gains.

The Bradleys are now being used in surgical fire missions and troop rotations to try to hold the Russians back. You can read my full dispatch from the Donbas with the 47th here:

US combat vehicles keep the Russians at bay — but for how long?

During the Continuation War, Russian partisans attacked & destroyed 28 Finnish villages.

Not a single Russian terrorist was ever convicted of these war crimes.

[Tomi 🇺🇦🇫🇮🇪🇺 @TallbarFIN]

Leader of the Finnish partisan hunters, Olavi Alakulppi tried to convince UN war crimes comission after the war but in fear of new escalation of war Finland's leadership didn't give the classified evidence so there was not enough proof. He only had his own eyewitness testimony.

@scottinankeny It would be perfect, if they would return to ideas of Reigan. Maybe Nikki Haley could lead party to better future. Of course there is a high chance that party would be overtaken by even more hard core politician

[Time Full @FullTime789]

@YesQuake @igorsushko I don't think so because they attacked Kharkiv to drain Ukrainian manpower reserves so they could try to find weak spots in their defences in all front. Also Ukraine will have restrictions on their usage of Western guns in Russian territory.

A simple but clear message from #Tbilisi.

Yes, to a European 🇪🇺 path for Georgia 🇬🇪 , no to the misery of Russian illiberalism.

Europe must stand with the people of Georgia!

Huzia na Danię 1965-1990
czyli krótka historia o tym, jak szykowaliśmy się do podboju Europy. Dosłownie, niestety, bo mieli w tym uczestniczyć nasi ojcowie lub dziadkowie. Opowiem, jakie mapy przyszykowało sobie wojsko, by zająć Danię bez zbędnej zwłoki. Zapraszam👇1/

@scottinankeny @JackDetsch Also during March US secretly gave ATACMS to Ukraine.

[Jack Detsch @JackDetsch]

JUST IN: U.S. will send $1B in new military aid to Ukraine, including HIMARS, 155mm, Javelin, Bradley’s: Pentagon

In the wake of the Senate’s passage of $60B in US military aid to Ukraine, pkg is the largest since last year.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

Appeasement with Iran is useless, we need:
✔️ real sanctions against the leadership
✔️ recognise Revolutionary Guard as terrorist organisation
✔️ reach out to opposition as real representatives of Iranian people

BREAKING — Parliament refuses discharge of the Council budget until European Council decided to support Ukraine with additional Patriot anti-missile systems !

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

Tonight's report covers a very dynamic situation in the ongoing UKR counteroffensive near Orikhiv in w. Zaporizhia. The tactical situation is likely changing rapidly & it's too soon to forecast if UKR will achieve an operational breakthrough in the sector🧵https://t.co/9buwsYlhky
