Most people completely underestimate the terrifying, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone caused 27k to 88k deaths in just 3 months (!!!).
Read that again and let it sink in!
This is a heartbreaking photo of 70-year-old Svitlana Loy, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Russian occupiers. Her “crime”: donating to help the Ukrainian army.
While in court, she sang a Ukrainian song.
Glory to the heroes!
Days before the start of large-scale combat operations against Iran in late February, President Trump summoned his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to the Oval Office in order to ask her if a war with Iran would work and successfully topple the Islamic Regime, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Gabbard outlined running assessments from the U.S. intelligence community, telling Trump that killing Iran’s supreme leader would likely usher in a more hard-line regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons, while the IRGC would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz, destabilizing the global energy market, and strike U.S. forces and partners across the Middle East.
RFK Jr saying "none of the 72 vaccines given to children have been tested against placebo "
The reality :
- Children are not given 72 vaccines
- The ones they are given have been tested against placebo
This serial liar is your HHS Secretary.

Visiting Ukraine today, 4 1/2 years after the brutal and unprovoked invasion by Russia, I sense that the Ukrainians’ steely will and commitment to defend their freedom is even greater today then when the Russian tanks first rolled.
Ukraine is winning this War. With the right support of America and Our Allies, the brave Ukrainian people can achieve a victory for freedom for themselves and the Free World.🇺🇸🇺🇦
Russia could have up to 1,300 ballistic missiles a year. Right now, they have 600–630. We have an approximate understanding of the volume they are counting on from today and through the end of winter. Roughly speaking, they could have 100 ballistic missiles a month. But they are not at that level yet. We are working to weaken their military industry. There are corresponding tasks involving strikes on military targets and other anti-ballistic sanctions.
We have become quite effective at intercepting other types of missiles. Our combat aircraft are doing so, and we have more IRIS-T systems now – the relevant systems are in place, and missiles for them are arriving to counter Russian cruise missiles. We have Hawks as well – we are using many different systems to intercept cruise missiles. But ballistic missiles are ballistic missiles. We are now working to ensure that they do not reach those 1,300 – to reduce that number.
I wanted to secure 300 missiles for the Patriot systems as part of the winter package. The request from our Air Force is for 360. But when only 600 are produced a year, 360 is not easy to obtain. We are working with countries on additional options. And I would very much like to believe that we can find a way to access some small percentage of U.S. stockpiles – say, 5% or 10%. And we are ready to pay for those supplies. In other words, America would be able to refresh its stockpile, and we would be able to get through the winter.

Putin does not want to end the war and is expanding the scale of his strikes. He is waiting for winter. They are striking our civilian businesses, our logistics, Ukrposhta, and burning down Nova Poshta – since 2022. Why, in particular, do we strike Wildberries? Because it involves both the supply of military goods and big money for Russia. Our operation was very carefully calculated. It was their strikes on our logistics that led us to respond in kind, logistically. But we strike with an understanding of the scale of their losses. In that one operation against Wildberries alone, and only in terms of direct losses in Russia, the figure is around a trillion rubles. And if you take into account the company's debts, related losses for other companies and individuals, and the need to restructure operations and rebuild Wildberries, it comes to 3 trillion rubles.
We are also tracking the social impact of our operations in Russia. Many people in Russia want the war to end. They put it this way: they just want it to end. In our view, the statistics are as follows: more than 60% of Russian society wants an end to this war, a ceasefire. So this shows that public sentiment is moving in that direction, and the trends are clear. We have also seen a sharp decline in support for Putin's government. We are talking about United Russia. They removed Yabloko from the election because they expected Yabloko to get a maximum of 3% or 4%, and then they looked at public sentiment, and there it was immediately at 11–12%, with an upward trend. They struck them off the ballot simply to ensure there would be no alternative to the war and to his rule.

Canadian PM Mark Carney:
The US’s narrow merchandise trade deficit only exists because the US buys so much of its energy from Canada.
Canada fuels American growth, supplying 99% of their natural gas imports, 85% of their electricity imports, and 60% of their crude oil imports.
I don’t think they want us to stop sending any of that energy.
My main task for the Minister of Defense of Ukraine is to put our defense system, our production and procurement system, and our supply system to the troops on a truly effective footing, so that those defending life in Ukraine have everything they need to repel Russian attacks, hold our positions on the front, and carry out our active operations. Yevhenii Khmara proved through his service with the SSU’s Alpha Special Operations Center that he does not speak lightly and knows full well that occupiers are not defeated with empty promises.
While 20-year-olds are on the USS Abraham Lincoln struggling with mental health issues, forced to eat rotten food and getting called a liar by trump, 20-year-old barron trump is getting rich from insider trading.
The vicious Russian “safari” against our people in Kherson has long gone beyond anything a normal person could imagine.
This morning, the Russians struck an ordinary minibus in Kherson with an FPV drone. Four people were killed and five others were wounded. All necessary services are at the scene, investigating the details. What is absolutely clear is that the bus was civilian.
These are the realities of everyday life in Ukraine’s frontline regions. While partners hesitate over additional supplies of defense equipment, the Russians have long run wild.
Pressure on the aggressor is needed. Support for those defending life is needed. I thank everyone who continues to provide assistance packages and impose new sanctions on the aggressor.
