February 28, 2025: The Day America Publicly Embraced Tyranny

🧵1/10: Friday, February 28, 2025, will be remembered as a day of infamy—a moment as dark in America’s history as December 7th, January 6th, and September 11th. This is the day the United States did not just abandon its leadership in the democratic world—it actively joined the forces working to dismantle it.

For decades, America was the backbone of the international order.

The world relied on Washington for security, stability, and the defense of democratic values. Allies coordinated with the U.S. before making major decisions. Dictators feared its economic leverage. Enemies calculated their moves carefully.

That world is gone.

Today, NATO allies plan around Washington, not with it. Dictators act without concern for American retaliation. And for the first time in modern history, the United States is no longer a democracy defending freedom—it is a power aligned against it.

This is the moment when the U.S. officially passed the baton of global leadership, not to another democracy, but to the forces of authoritarianism.

This is the moment it changed teams.

Three years ago today, Russia launched an unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine. A few short weeks later, @KarenPence and I travelled with @SamaritansPurse and witnessed firsthand the flood of women and children fleeing the Russian onslaught near the Ukrainian border. We will never forget it.

Every day since, Ukrainian soldiers have bravely fought and died on this front line of freedom and the American people and our Allies have rightly given them the means to defend their nation. As Leader of the Free World, America must continue to Stand Strong and lead free nations to give Ukraine the support they need to win a victory for their sovereignty, security and freedom. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

BREAKING: The U.S. has just sided with Russia and North Korea to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.

What a disgrace we are!

Raise your hand if you stand with Ukraine and against Russia🖐️

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Today, we unequivocally and unapologetically reaffirm, to the United States of America and to the World, the following undeniable and indisputable facts. We ask all Americans, including all elected officials from all Parties and all levels of Government, to join us by sharing and reposting this message for the World to see:

🇺🇸 Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded Ukraine without justification and without provocation.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands for the Rule of Law, and respects and defends the borders and territorial sovereignty of all Freedom-Loving Nations.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, and freedom-loving nation, and is an ally of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin, through his illegal invasions, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, is an enemy of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands with Democracies and opposes Dictatorships.

🇺🇸 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Legitimately Elected President of Ukraine through a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin is an Unelected Dictator who imprisons his political opponents and who has never held a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 The Ukrainian election has been delayed because Ukraine is under daily relentlessly bombings, over 200 per day, by Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine is in a State of 24/7 Martial Law.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine will hold their elections as soon as Vladimir Putin stops his unprovoked, unjustified daily bombings inside Ukraine.

🇺🇸 If Putin is rewarded for his illegal invasion and genocide, this will serve as a green-light incentive to other Dictators, such as CCP Chairman Xi Jinping, to pursue their own conquests (i.e. Taiwan), which will lead to more instability across the Globe.

🇺🇸 Dictators like Vladimir Putin are the Adult Versions of the School Yard Bullies that we all confronted in Grade School. And they must be dealt with in the same exact way. There is Peace through Strength, and there is War through Weakness. There is no magical third option.  

#PeaceThroughStrength

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Rarely has so much ignorance and ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know you and @realDonaldTrump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, and destroying the security of America and her allies, but you would do well, @JDVance, to spend some time actually studying history. Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.  And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Trump implies that since Russia "fought for that land" in Ukraine "and lost alot of soldiers" doing it, that Russia should keep it.

I can't remember a darker day for the democratic world.

I would ABSOLUTELY do these things if I had to go thru the recruiting process again:
(Most of them are things I did do - Dead sprinting onto the field every time- was an absolute for me)
