🇷🇺 The Voice of Russian Imperialism: "We Must Finish Them"
Russian citizen: "We need to finish them off, reach Lviv, the Baltics, Poland. Hang the flag over the Reichstag again..."
Do you see anything here other than a total lack of intellect, a distorted understanding of history, a desire to occupy all of Europe, and a burning hatred for the civilized world? Will you continue to entertain illusions about the Russian Federation? These are ordinary Russians, and this genocidal rhetoric has already penetrated their minds, laying eggs in everyone who lacked immunity against propaganda.
Take note: it does not end with Ukraine. Poland, the Baltics, Germany—the list will only expand. This is exactly why we must defeat Russia here and now! Russia is stuck in the Middle Ages, and I do not know if it is even possible to cure it. During WWII, the Russians differed from the Nazis only in that they killed more people, and now they celebrate this, trying to revive those atrocities and occupy Europe once again.
What Trump promised: "I'll end Russia's war in Ukraine in 24 hours if you elect me."
What Trump did: "I tried to force Ukraine to capitulate and give Russia everything they want.
When that didn't work I ended all financial support to Ukraine, lifted sanctions of Russia, rolled out the red carpet for Putin, and doubled oil prices so Russia can have more money to continue the war."
@jonjustice55@Microinteracti1 Oh! The great American military… incapable of winning in Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Iran. Good luck with your imbecile draft dodging president and your drunkard “war” secretary 🤣
Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to.
They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures.
That is not how it works.
Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America.
Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf.
Now imagine they hadn’t.
Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home.
Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost.
And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover.
Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name.
Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers.
If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine.
In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation.
If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa.
You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.

The third president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, wrote an open letter to Orbán
"Viktor, look at this photo.
We stood side by side at a time when the future of our region seemed to be shared, clear, and bright. Back then, we both believed that freedom was not just a word, but the highest gift worth fighting for. I remember you differently. I remember a leader who understood the price of dignity and knew what liberation from imperial oppression meant.
Today, I look at your actions and ask myself: where has that Viktor gone? How did it happen that a person who saw the rise of free Hungary is now playing into the hands of forces that want to destroy the freedom of a neighboring country?
Ukraine is bleeding today for those same values we once debated at the negotiation table. We are defending not only our land but also the peace of your country, as well as all of Europe.
Politics is not just about numbers, profit, or gas. It is primarily about values. When you choose the side of the aggressor, you betray not just Ukraine—you betray the memory of your own people, who know what Soviet tanks on the streets of Budapest feel like.
Viktor, stop and remember who you were. History is a harsh judge. It does not forgive those who were silent or helped evil during times of great trials. It is not too late to return to the light, to true European brotherhood, where honor is valued, not dubious political deals.
I urge you to look truth in the eye. Be the leader the world once respected, the one who knew that freedom is the only way".
Kyiv, tonight. Russia deliberately attacked residential buildings, killing 4 people. Among them is a medic who was helping the wounded. When emergency medical services arrived at the scene, Russia carried out a double-tap strike, targeting rescuers.
Cynical terrorists who keep trying to convince the world that they "want peace."
🚨BREAKING: Newly released ICE agent camera footage directly contradicts the claim that Renee Nicole Good tried to hit an agent with her vehicle.
From the agent’s own angle, it’s clear Renee Nicole Good never posed a threat.
In the synchronized footage, you can see her wife attempting to get into the car. They are preparing to leave.
Suddenly, multiple ICE agents rush the vehicle. One agent moves toward the driver’s door and attempts to open it, trying to pull her out.
Renee backs up. She then clearly turns the wheel AWAY from the agent.
The agent has an unobstructed view of the steering wheel on his phone. He can see she is turning the car away, not toward him.
That is when he pulls his gun.
He does not draw his weapon because she is threatening him with the vehicle, he can see she is turning AWAY from him.
He draws it to stop her from leaving.
As the car turns away, the agent leans over the hood and fires the first shot.
By the second shot, he is already further to the side of the vehicle.
By the third shot, the car is driving away.
Every single shot was fired after it was clear the vehicle was moving AWAY from him.
Those shots were not fired to protect his life.
They were fired to stop her from leaving.
That is not self-defense.
That is lethal force used to prevent escape.
That is murder.
