@Shelby_Wilder 3/3—Also, to me, the number one issue in the world today is the pure evil of Moscow. If its genocidal imperialism can be soundly squelched in Ukraine, once and for all, I believe there will be positive effects elsewhere (🇺🇸, 🇮🇷 etc.) too. And she’s on it.

1/3—I now followed @Shelby_Wilder. I see many people, including some of my mutual followers, balk at her working for Newsmax (I was surprised too), but the way I see it, if a journalist is good then she’s good. And she is. Her question to Kushner in Kyiv:
https://t.co/FesDbSK3eN
KUSHNER: Look, we were sitting before with Germany, right? which was a former enemy of the US, and so there's no such thing in the world as forever enemies or forever allies.
—————————————————
THIS IS WHAT I MEANT BY A GOOD QUESTIONS AND A BAD ANSWERS:
Jared Kushner mentions Germany as a former enemy of the U.S. in the context of current talks with russia. But he never mentions that the U.S. and the countries of the Alliance defeated Germany first. Then came years of reparations, accountability, and apologies from Germany. Only now, more than 80 years after the war, can you sit down and talk with Germany as an ally.
russia has never been punished for its horrific crimes, which at times have even surpassed the brutality of nazi ideology.

SHELBY WILDER, NEWSMAX (@Shelby_Wilder ) : This is for Mr. Witkoff, Mr. Kushner. During your time as President Trump's envoys, Russia has escalated its war against Ukraine. It has intensified its hybrid attacks against NATO, and it's deepened its ties with the likes of Iran and North Korea. So far, diplomacy has not changed Vladimir Putin's position. Following your latest meetings here and in Moscow, you say there are some new ideas. We've heard that before. You said that you were going to try. But if there is no breakthrough after these peace talks, is the US prepared to increase pressure on Russia?
JARED KUSHNER: Look, you know, we were sitting before with with Germany, right, which was a former you know, enemy of the US, and so there's no such thing, you know, in the world as you know, forever enemies or forever allies. And so, you know, we have to start with the first principle's idea of what the best outcome could be and what benefits all people. President Trump, comes from the business world, which in the business world, you think about things in the context of win-win. How do you create opportunities for both sides to do what's in their interest? A war is negative sum. Everyone loses from war. Whereas no business and peace is positive sum, and hopefully you can find big benefits from that in a big way. So, the role that Steve and I play, and again, we're part of a team in the US government, again led by President Trump and the Vice President JD Vance. and Marco Rubio and there's obviously Secretary Hegseth and the military and the intelligence groups as well. Our role is to try to be the ones, who are pursuing the peace. And like I said, if it was easy, it would've been done a long time ago. But it's a very important and noble pursuit, and we're gonna keep doing it with everything we have. And President Trump obviously has a lot of different ways to play it, but he's always focused on what are the best interests of, America and the United States and how do you find a way to do this in a way that can advance those interests.
@Shelby_Wilder 2/3—Kushner dodged it, of course. (And apropos his blathering about Germany: there was no friendship until its Nazi regime had been utterly defeated, no “win-win” with Hitler in 1942, see map.)
Which she recognizes.

@m_myhai@carpathianfella@ZelenskyyUa@catalina_l7845 How would it be better to allow the Muscovite colonial empire to take over Ukraine and condemn its people to the fate of Victoria Roshchyna?
Also, there HAS been positive results! The strain on the aggressor empire this year is worse than ever.

@tomas_lihan@JosephineN2652@joni_askola A Ukrainian government that didn’t value Ukrainian lives would capitulate to the Muscovite colonial empire, condemning all Ukrainians to the fate of Viktoriia Roschyna.
Zelenskyy has instead protected Ukrainians as far as possible from 🇷🇺 slavery & death.

@yarotrof Yeah, because sports and culture are “above politics🤪🙃🫠” or something.
Except, of course, to Moscow they most definitely aren’t.
Vile and disgusting.😠🤬
@spaceaussyjeice@brandnew68@m3gaclite@P_Kallioniemi Yeah, by that time they weren’t in a position to vote at all, and only THEN (with SA storm-troopers inside & outside the building intimidating Reichstag representatives) was it “the only thing that matters” because communists had helped pushing it to that point. Read the article.
@AhoyMateOH@KaterynaLis Sweden is since 2025 doing more for Ukraine than the US, despite its size being a tiny fraction of US.
Per capita, Sweden has beaten the US for years.

@Longlifeproduc1@KaterynaLis Moscow HAS vastly escalated its attacks under Trump, that’s a fact.
Trump’s ill-conceived war on Iran has HELPED much more than hurt 🇷🇺 (oil prices up, 🇺🇸 missile stocks down). His alliance with the 🇻🇪 communist dictatorship just a minor annoyance to 🇷🇺.

@atrupar 18 Americans killed: “small potatoes.”
Meanwhile, Putin’s russia is helping Iran target U.S. forces.
Trump is two tweets away from thanking Putin for the help.
@PopovaProf Yep! The only thing new is that they have FINALLY – after more than one and half year of “negotiations” and numerous Moscow visits – mustered the courage to go to Ukraine. But, like others have said, that might only be for the optics, before the US midterms.
@MariaJagcat@NatalkaKyiv If an internal upheaval happens in the imperial center, I think chances of a defeat/retreat of the empire’s forces in Ukraine will almost automatically be good too. Whoever grabs the tsar crown will inevitably be in a much weaker position than Putin’s. That’s how Putin set it up.
@TodorovNikolaj@HRHTish@general_ben The 🇷🇺 aggressor’s occupation of Crimea clearly IS becoming untenable. So while @general_ben concedes he was wrong about the time scale (I’m guessing he thought Western support of the 🇺🇦 defenders would be better than it has been; many of us did) it seems he was ultimately right.

@TodorovNikolaj@general_ben You’re missing the point. This isn’t about “raids” – it’s about logistics. Without that, the Muscovite colonial empire won’t be able to sustain its occupation of Crimea.
@sometourist@JaredRyanSears@atrupar Seems the “Some Tourist�� vatnik didn’t take my criticism of his cultish belief in disgraced Hersh very well. He blocked me.
But before he did, he dropped two more names – to “strengthen” his argument. Except they too are 🇷🇺-aligned propagandists.
One here:

Clueless Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, told Vladimir Solovyov how much the U.S. has in common with Russia, calling for us to bond with Moscow on the basis of religion.
🚨Trump on the departures of U.S. personnel from the Middle East:
“They are being moved out. It could be a dangerous place, we'll see what happens. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, we won't allow it."
Is a strike on Iran’s nuclear sites imminent??
